I have been asked to show the assembly of my cell, so here it is. Sorry if anything is unclear. I tried to show the basic steps without showing any machining, etc. The pipes are 304 SS, but 316 works well also. Part 3 will be uploaded after the cell is sealed and ready to run.
I insulate the pipes from the Positive lead/screw by first coating the screw with 2 coats of liquid electrical tape. When that is dry, I put electrical shrink wrap tubing on the screw, making sure to leave the end thread exposed for connecting it to the center tube. The holes in the pipes that the positive lead screw passes through are twice the size of the screw, leaving plenty of room for the screw and insulation to fit through……if your holes are aligned.
These are stainless steel pipes, but you can also use plates.
ima make one cant you make on from stanless steel plates
.065 is fine.
Hello OriginalUncleNemo and thanks for the reply. I am not able to locate .080 wall tubing, will the .065 be sufficient?
If you use any copper alloy, or higher content of iron alloy, the water will turn black and foamy. It will clog up your generator in no time.
The SS deplates from the cathode and builds up on the annode. The cell is sealed and there really is no risk of inhalation. The mineral is too heavy to evaporate into the engine. This is basically, somewhat a plating process found in any machine shop….accept we do not use acid.
i forgot to write this…if the ss makes this nasty byproduct..i was wondering if using a diff metal would produce the hydrogen and oxygen too..say bronze?
why on earth would anyone drink the solution?.and who said anything about drinking it breathing in the fumes getting it on your skin etc..ALL I WANTED TO KNOW WAS HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE DANGEROUS BY PRODUCTS THIS GENERATOR PRODUCES as more unsuspecting people are building these they should know about the huge health risk..I am tremendously dissapointed as i wanted to make a bunch of these but not at the expense of my or my familys health.
Any gap seems to work just fine, from .050 to .250. It all depends on your voltage and electrolyte. Please do not drink the electrolyte after running the generator. Also, try not to breathe the vapor, as it is semi-free of ions.
Why hasnt the government come in? BECAUSE THEYRE MAKING MONEY OFF FUEL. WOW. can you honestly not see this?
I am building a unit with 304 stainless plates.I have read that for optimum generation a gap of .048″-.063″ is required. then i found that using stainless produces hexavalent chromium which causes cancer and is considered extremely deadly to internal organs! have you done any research on this major concern?
Believe, don’t believe, it makes no difference. If you don’t believe in gravity, you will not simply float off into space. Facts are facts. I suggest you tinker around yourself. Or not 🙂
If this is true, how come the government never comes in. The world is still screaming from rising fuel prices.
No need to get seamless pipes. They are a lot of money. Just get the tubes. 80 wall thickness is good enough.
Very informative and well done, thank you.
I looked at both online shops you suggested to order the tubes or pipes from and that is my question.
Should I be ordering “tubes” or the “seamless pipes”?
God bless you!! lol dude you are awesome, I have to do this now, thanks so much for such a detailed video and such a good job putting it up for everyone. I’m going to Homedepo tomorrow!!! lol thanks again
Plexiglass would be fine. But it gets expensive in thicker gages.
what do you think could be used besides HDPE? Would possibly another kind of plastic or plexiglass work?
You may get it on EBay for very cheap. They sell it in 3/4 inch thick sheets 18″ x 24″ (or so).
where did you get the high density polyethylene from?
questions, i built one exactly like yours except i only used two pipes (chrome plated copper) for help with corrosion, / rusting, the inner tube i my posotive and m outer is my negative, i spaceed them out but some how they are shorting out , (12 volt battery melts wire ,,…. yea… ) do i need to space my tubes apart more? or is the water connecting the current and basically making it a coil>? anythying will help. thanks
It varies from 37 to 48mpg highway. It depends on grade of the road, Air conditioning on or off, etc. With Air OFF and only me in the car on a flat highway, I get 48-49mpg every time. With the family and luggage and air conditioner, I get ~37. No load is key.
OriginalUncleNemo: What type of fuel mileage are you getting with your generator?
More positive tubes does not mean more electron flow….so, no.
what is the purpose of having neutral tubs? wouldn’t it be better hho production by having more positive ones?
You must use 304, or 316 stainless steel
