Hey all, just joined the forum. This is a great place and such a cool hobby !!

I've been messing with wet cells in mason jars for about 3 years and finally I have a dry cell. I know a bit about the basics about HHO, but I'm still learning.

I've been breaking in my Dry Cell. Its 19 plates I think 6x6 inch. I've been running 8.45 amp so far and my output is .25 lpm of gas.

Perhaps I need help in measuring my amps because it takes the meter forever to get a reading. Its a new clamp on amp meter with a button that clicks on and off to hold the top reading.

Does this output sound right for the amount of current ?
I'm using NAOH Sodium Hydroxide and distilled water.

I will post some pictures soon.
Thanks

0.25 lpm at 13.8v 8.45A gives an mmw of only about 2.15. You would normaly get at least double this with a dry cell, so it could be the amp meter.

That is exactly what I was getting with my 3x3 plates with less than 2x2 surface space. I made a mini generator to test an idea rather than dump money into full size plates. Worked great for being so darn small. At least I think so:D
