Mini Dry Cell

[Donald]

I have uploaded a new version of my dry cell. This cell has 16 plates
with gaskets in between. It circulates through another water tank.
When it gets low i just put more solution in the pour spout, maybe one
or two times a month. This unit stays cooler because the water
circulates through the water tank. This unit is about 3"X 5" inches.
I put 4 teaspoons of lye in a gallon of water. The plates in this
unit is stainless steel wall plates(304). Keep thinking GREEN!

Don,
That is a verinteresting setup, do you have any additional schematic
type drawings showing the reservoir, refilling proceedure etc.
Thanks

Scott,
I don't have them yet but i will draw some and post them at a later
date. It is just a plastic coolant return system. It has 3 inlet/
outlet on each one with one going into the unit and one coming back
into the reservoir, and one going to the motor. The reservoir has a
fill hole. The reservoir has to be higher than the unit. The action
of electrolysis is what makes it circulate. Keep thinking GREEN!

Thanks;

Donald

Don,
Do you use a safety bubbler reservoir or a check valve between the
throttlebody and the dry tank discharge port with the dry system?
What size fuel line do you recommend?

Scott,
I use a one way check valve, and sometimes a bubbler for show. The
line i use is 3/8! Keep thinking GREEN!

Thanks;

I have used a check valve but like a bubbler better. Because I have just found out if I am not making bubbles I have a leak.

I bought a dash mounted fan to put in the trunk for cooling when the weather gets hot this summer.

My experience is based on a 3 jar switchplate system. What solution temperature is needed for best gas production? My wet system was getting up to around 150 degrees after 1 1/2hrs (I have a  continuous monitor to read while I drive for both temp and amp draw with the ability to switch to plates with wider spacing while driving if the temp rises too high)  I also like the bubbler for a visual but use a check valve as well. My system included 3/8" fuel line due to the 11' distance from the trunk on my Honda Ridgeline Pickup to the throttle body.

I have had the electrolyte to boil in my unit when I had it wire wrong. I still gets very warm on long trips. What do you use to monitor the temp? I thought I read on this site the best temp but I don't remember what it is.

I have an digital remote reading thermometer, the kind that you put in the kitchen with the sensor outside. My jars are in a plywood framed box with Armaflex rubber pipe insulation to cushon the sides and protect the jars. The Jars slide in tightly on 4 sides and the sensor is pressed down between the glass and the insularion to monitod the glass jar temp.

How is the dry cell working? What does it do for your mpg? What do you
use for gaskets?

I noticed an old well pump the other day it has metal around the
bottom of it that has no rust I wonder if it is 316L stainless?

I am getting about 20 to 25% increase in my mpg. If i only get one or
two miles per gallon more i am happy, because a little is better than
none. Also cleaning up the air that we breath. I use shower pan
gasket from Lowe's. Keep thinking GREEN!
