Some things I've learned.

I've found on the test bench that production increases under vacuum,
also the gas seems to come up out of the liquid better. Figuring a way
to do this wasn't hard, and I have metered idle circuit, and a main
circuit that feeds through a vacuum operated valve above idle.

Then I found it's hard to keep the glass jars sealed. As I complete
testing on each generator design , I am putting them into PVC housings
to ensure 100% sealing. Tweaking will be done by catalyst.

I have yet to find any steam distilled water in Union City, except
Walmart's baby stuff, and it has Fluoride....

I am mixing 1/8 cup of "Drain Out" cleaner, sieved to remove the
metal, per quart of concentrate for my catalyst.
I found that Drano has some kind of dye/chemical that can't be sieved
out. If I could just find plain ol' Red Devil lye...

If I fill the jar halfway up the embossed medallion, and shoot @ 10ml
of this solution into the jar, that's about right for the generator
design taught in class. Some of mine take far less. This allows me to
tweak for amp draw.

A taller column works better, and a plastic scrub pad packing in the
top- loose- helps if you want less water in the mix... I have a design
that is more compact for small cars, with the plates laid sideways in
a tee.

I also have a design for larger diesels, but I am still tweaking it.
I'll bring a prototype to class Saturday.

If anybody wants to go in with me on a pound of 1/16" stainless Tig
wire for connecting the generators to the lugs, let me know- it's
about 25.50 a pound. It doesn't prick your fingers, and it makes for a
more stable suspension of the generator.

Enough for now.

I have found steamed distilled water at Rural King in Martin. Power
Supply here in Mckenzie has lye for sale. I have got it on the
internet from Lehmans. Keep building and saving money. Thanks for
keeping our air we breath better.
