I’ve started to build Cell 5, it’s casing and also the bubbler which will be on show - easier to show people that I tell about it then - the bubbler will sit behind the grill, in front of the radiator in a clear acrylic tube.

It all looks good, although not unique - I lovingly ripped off ZeroFossilFuel’s design of the case and cell - particularly the acrylic covering idea - although I chose a much better colour! Take a look…

My eventual goal is to power my van off of water - by extracting Hydrogen out of the Water and feeding it to the fuel mix chamber.

   I don’t use more than 20A because the wire I have is only rated up to 27A

   Correct unity2zero. Imagine the electrolyte is a wire connecting each plate. This is how it completes the circuit.

   Right and Left Plates are connected to one terminal and the middle one to the next. Just like water, these “neutral” plates in between acts as conductors. Putting a probe across each pair, would measure up a voltage across them. Am I right? :):)

   okay you did a nice job,but i dont understand one thjing,you conect the left and the right plates okay, than you put a middle plate conect to the top of the bottom,now is the question!!how you conect the rest of the plates?i dont see it other bolt conect to the plates!!!!!how do you conect???thanks

   RICH

   150mm x 80mm x 2mm
   Grade 316L

   I wouldn’t recommend 2mm thickness though, it’s too thick really, takes up too much space

   what are the size of your plates?

    Thanks mate,
    As a courier I have to deliver to all sorts of military, government and high security places - I just hope they believe me that it’s not a bomb!

    As for a mesh, yes there will be something - I don’t know what yet though.

    As for spacers, my video #27 (will be uploaded later today hopefully) will show what I’ll be using.

    I am having to rebuild - as SSC said above, I needed to remove a Neutral plate from each side to bring the Voltage to the right level of ~2.25V per gap.

    HI MADSTU. UR NEW “barbie cell” LOOKS MORE LIKE A PIPE BOMB!!
    R U GONNA PUT SOME KIND OF MESH IN FRONT OF THE BUBBLER TO STOP STONES BREAKING IT?
    I KNOW ITS A BIT LATE BUT COULD U USE NYLON WASHERS AS SPACERS?
    BEST OF LUCK WITH NUMBER 5, LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT UPDATE.

    hehe, I know what you mean about having to wait for glue to dry.

    I look forward to seeing your cell, be sure to send me a message when you start your build

    Hi there MadStu just ordered myself some KOH and some other parts can not wait to get cracking on my first big cell I have a fue idears up my sleave so if they work out I’ll let you know will be a cupple of months not looking forward to using the merine glue I dont have much payshunts when it comes wait for things to dry. Thanks for all the handy tips Great. DeltaHH-O

    Oh ok, well of course I hope I do prove you wrong but you’ll probably be right, and if I do have to take it apart, then so be it.

    I have enough spare plates, I may even build a 2nd cell with 5 Neutrals to compare the difference.

    Thanks.

    I wish you good luck on your new build but am a bit concerned with your decision to use 6 neutrals. I think that 5 might have been a safer choice as this configuration is proven to be pretty effective. But you may end up proving me wrong. And the worst case is you might have to tear it apart and pull a couple neutrals out. So press on.
