Possible new electrolyte mix or new setup for a cell..??
So i've been scrooging around a bit today, experimenting with strange battery setups. the first one I attempted to replicate was the steel pot scrubber and epsom salt water. I have a whole bunch of this blue-colored steel shavings in spiral form that I got from my local machine shop. I took a bit of it, scrunched it together, and zip-tied it so it would hold shape. I also took a SS pot scrubber, wrapped it in 14 gauge plain copper wire, put some wide electrical tape on the side of the blue guy (to prevent contact, and stuck them in a medium sized glass salsa jar. I then took about 1/3 cup of Epsom salts, and a few tbsp of sodium chloride (ice cream salts), ground them up in a coffee grinder, put them with 1 3/4 cup distilled water, and warmed it up on a coffee pot hot plate... stirring to dissolve. then poured it into the jar. It immediately juiced itself up to about 0.70V and kept climbing. For some reason, I decided to throw it in parallel with my charge battery on my Bedini, and BAM - instant massive HHO started pouring off. Then I stuck the electrodes on a 12V scooter battery, and exact same thing, at about the same rate. I'm not 100% that it is in fact HHO, but I don't see what else it would be. I'm not a big chemistry guy, as much as I'd love to learn, I just haven't stepped into that area to study just yet. (learning electronics, how components function, energizers, etc right now) Does anyone care to try this electrolyte mix in one of their actual HHO cells? I haven't made one of my own yet.
Oh, also wanna throw in there that I hooked it up to my mini simple pulse motor (spice jar lid size) and it ran it for a couple min and then died. At the moment, I have the positive electrode hooked up to what is positive on the flyback end of the same motor to see if it will have any effect. when I hook up the neg electrode, it kills my motor. So it's obviously no use as a battery so far... but the HHO effect I saw was pretty cool, especially when compared to the basic HHO setups that I've seen on utube. It definitely outputs wayyy more than those. Let me know what you all think.
