The downfalls of conventional electrolysis - and how to fix them

[oswaldonfire]

Where would you put your coil? There is nothing inside the container except the sodium hydroxide solution.

right.
everything has to be very small because you insist
on getting so near to the power source

a tube
a coil inserted with spacer protecting it from the tube
a wire with spacers keeping it central
i inch high
half inch diameter
a cap on the bottom
a hole in the middle for incoming new solution
capped on the top with a pipe for outgoing gas

Put it inside with the medium it's reacting with. They're married, why not put them in the same bed?

I love the simplicity of this. It's like music...which is so often what science is.

You know this is like a quantum leap in hho production. So, my mind is all of sudden thinking you're troll, and I'm nuts for even playing your game. You did just fall from nowhere. The thing is, is that I know I'm nuts, but are you and your information for real?

Problem is, is that it seems so intuitional, it makes sense. Or....maybe that means there is no problem.

It is not necessary to put the coil inside the tube, per se.. but it could be done. I prefer to keep it outside the tube, to avoid issues with the extremely caustic solution reacting with the coil, and to keep assembly simple.

My first setup was like this:

A one-inch PVC pipe, vertical, about 10 inches long.

Both ends were capped, with a hose barb on the top cap to collect the gas.

800 or so turns of 22-gauge magnet wire wrapped around the outside of the pipe.

A supersaturated solution of NaOH inside the pipe.

Pulsed current fed through the coil.

Absurd amounts of hydroxy production followed.

I boiled off all of the water in my tube in about 10 minutes... I could not get water into the darned thing fast enough.

I ran the gas output through a condenser to make sure that it wasn't steam.

I burned the output gas. Pure HHO.

Now are you starting to see the advantages over conventional electrolysis?
