so, the next test setup was all 30 plates in one row, and (almost) watertight sealing between them, so, in space betveen every two plates must be an active cell. this design is even better than separate cells, because there are much less non-active sides. there are 24 cells, with 48 active plate sides, only two last ones are not taking place in electrolysis. this makes active area of 1,7square meters.
- but separate cells - there where 10 cells, with two plates, two sides were inactive in every cell, summary 20 inactive sides or only 0,58square meter active area.
this electrolyzer is even smaller than old one. in pictures can be seen wiring shematics, all 24 cells are divided to 4 sections, with 6 cells in each, that make 2V in each cell, if using a computer psu. but there died my psu, because strange thing happened in electrolyser - the cells where not absolutely watertight, so electrolyte can bypass between small gaps in policarbonate distancer. also, there where no hho producing, even no one bubble in bubbler
i think, that electricity flow directly by easy way, not throug steel plates, this resulted an oveload for psu, too much amperes draw. so psu powered down, and created some smell.
this cell design are from Yull Brown's patent drawings found in wikipedia, in HHO article. i think, if i would make correct watertight sealing betveen plates, this design ought to be effective and good working.
last pictures - there were some accidental explosion, but no harmful, because of using this yellow plastic cup, for bubbler, it explodes, but it is easy restored - just take another cup, and seal it with electric tape (red) white cup with blue cower is just second bubbler for additional safety, and KOH recovery from wather vapour what comes togeather with hho gas.
but explosion, even with so small amount of gas, and so thin and light plastic cup as a bubbler are loud enough, to make anybody nervous
