Very nice
Hi Jetijs,
Sorry for my poor English. Your series cell electrolyser looks awesome
. You just made the electrolyser which I have in my mind for very long time. The only difference is you used wire bridge to joint plates. KOH corrodes copper wires and contaminate the electrolyte which later reduce the electrolyser efficiency. Use wider stainless steel strips for plate bridging.
To increase amps with lower voltage, there are few ways :
1) Use higher strength KOH.
2) Or, use higher voltage
3) Or, make the plate gap closer to 3mm (difficult with your design).
Can I know your cell voltage? Is it 12V or more? I use car alternator to power my 6 series cell which can pull about 21A at 13.5V(across cell) to output 1.89LPM of hydroxy. The electrolyte strength is 5% KOH and 95% RO water. The alternator puts out above 16V without load. Your electrolyser should produce more since you have larger plate area.
To improve your system further, I would suggest to place fish tank stone bubbler to break big bubbles into smaller bubbles and to stablize gas flow for your torch. Bronze wool will turn into black (corrodes) because of KOH mist after bubbler over period of time. Use SS fine wool or use double bubbler. First bubbler as scrubber and second bubbler for safety.
Just curious, can you show me how you made your flashback arrestor? It looks simple.
