My cell water ran low and when I opened the hood of my Sienna I noticed this tremendous amount of gas being produced.

Could less water be the answer to better production?

Here's an overview of my cell set-up. This is with each cell filled with water, 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda and a splash of White Vinegar.

My theory on this is as follows. The elctrolyte is not used up as the water is, therefor once the water level starts dropping the baking soda to water ratio decreases making the water more conductive. It should have also increased your amp draw. Did you actually measure the output to see if it was more, or was this simply a visual guess?

A visual guess. Doesn't matter now. I just had a big explosion that destroyed my cell(s). I was testing the bubbles and a propane torch melted through the tube and boom. The cell is a complete loss. I'm still alive.

I agree.

Sorry about the explosion, glad your okay.

Don't feel bad. I blew one up too. :o

I blew my vacuum pump to smithereens....lol. I wonder if "smithereens" actually means what I am using it for. My bubbler saved my cell. Glad to hear you were not hurt.

Open flames in the vicinity of HHO is not a good idea. If you want to light bubbles, make some bubbles, move them to a safe location and then light them and wake up the neighbors... Making :eek:BOOM:eek: is fun but blowing up your toys is not fun.:D
