Francisco PACHECO Hydrogen Generator

[distilling1]

Ordered a 4x8 sheet of magnesium ($1100) and aluminum (quite a bit cheaper) and stainless. Constructed unit similar to the fellow on you tube.

Made plates 10 inch by 10 inch. Max voltage was was 1.2 and very little hydrogen production.

Put large balloon on output and took almost an hour to make what I would guess to be a liter of hydrogen.

Put filter and circulation pump on unit, but not enough current to run pump as claimed in patent. Output remained at about 1 liter per hour for around a day and generated heat.

Plates totally destroyed themselves in about 24 hours. Swollen to twice their original size, but flaked off when touched.

Conclusion.... doesn't work. Patent issued on device really means nothing.

here is magnesium and SS some output but not near enough to run engine..

The SS you see here. There are magnesium inserted from bottom and covered with sea water (those you can't see.)

Have also tried this with aluminum and magnesium as per patent and not much difference.

Thanks
I intend to build a larger device with 6 cells in series. I will use six magnesium rods and six 40mm diameter stainless steel tubes. It will all be enclosed in PVC plumbing pipes with common electrolyte. Will see how that goes.
Thanks,

Jetijs you are the man.

I can only wish to have your skills and means.

distilling1, got to give it to you.what you made looks nothing like the boyd868b tanks. salt needs to be 5 1/2 oz per gallon stainless steel tank not a plastic bucket. to run a pump you need all four cells plus a stepup transformer.plates need to be 3 to 1 ratio. 10x30 not 10x10. if you have it wrong of course it won't work
