well guys Ive finally finished my cell to test stage
its based on the smacks 18 plate GenII design
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v159/cully/hho/smack11.jpg
plates were prepped with a stone to give a rough Finnish
then i varnished the sides and back edges with motor winders insulation varnish
i thought this would be a good idea at the time but time proved that wrong

the cell plates where cleaned then assembled
i made a solution of KOH and deionised water to draw 7.5amps across the cells
the power supply I'm using is a PC power supply rated at 500w
so to my first test run sorry about the poor movie iam an amateur :D

i ran the cell for 1 hour starting at 7.5Amps after the hour the temp had risen to est 60c and the current draw was 13Amp
to wards the end of the hour i was getting foaming and quite a lot
but I'm putting this down to the varnish impurity's in the KOH
next test run will prove that
