The downfalls of conventional electrolysis - and how to fix them

[dasimpson]

i still say a stainless steel racing tank sanded with roght grit paper would give good surface area and well maybe a vibrating motor to help displace the bubbles off the plates

[oswaldonfire]

That will give a decent surface area, you are right, but nowhere near what my method gets. Plus, it would be more expensive in the end (and with far less production).

A vibrating motor uses a lot of energy, and even that will only partially help displace bubbles. My method requires no additional energy to displace the bubbles, leading to far less current draw, less power consumed, and extreme efficiencies.

[dasimpson]

yes but the amount you need to produce depends on the amout you need eg the size of the engine

if you are happy to stick to speed limits then a small engine car with hho would be best option if you wont a v8 v10 or v 12 monster then maybe this is not the best way to go

i did this on a 125cc bike once
i just used stainless steel elctrodes about 2 mm apart from each 12 in total
and use an electolite to get about the right production needed

[oswaldonfire]

I don't know how much production you get with your tank setup... but mine has more than enough production to run a small 5hp engine... in a space of less than 20 cubic inches and an energy input of only a few watts.

How much energy did it require for you to run that small engine? I would imagine a lot of amps.. and a LOT of watts..

Oswaldonfire,

As you touched on in an earlier post, Sodium Metal and H2O immediately explodes.  How do you over-come that?
