Hey everyone! I’ve been reading a lot of threads on the forum. I’ve had several questions which some have been answered and others not. I wanted to post a few questions in hopes some of the Mentors could help me understand. My experience level is low. I have built one tubular wet cell. I did not do any production tests on it as I was a little disappointed with its output and decided to move on. Since I have drawn up several designs in CAD to help me realize some thoughts I was having. Let me move on to the questions to keep this short.
I believe Stan Meyer built only wet cells (I could be wrong), why was he wrong with this design being so much more inefficient compared to a dry cell design which is the more accepted technology today?
To my knowledge Meyer mostly built tubular designs. I did see that he built one plate system consisting of two plates which he could vary the distance between the plates for testing purposes. However, I’m not aware of him building any “production” type cells using a plate design. Why would he not have thought of using plates when they seem to be easier to build cells with?
Meyer appears to always push towards keeping the amperage very low (below 10 amps) while keeping the voltage high on his cells. Why is it now more accepted to push higher levels of amperage on a cell? Or have I misunderstood how many amps Meyer was using on his cells?
My own understanding of water and electrolysis tells me that fracturing water into the separate atoms becomes increasingly easier as the temperature of the water goes up. Which should mean it would require less amps and volts to make the same production levels as colder temperatures. Yet many forums and videos that I have seen, it seems as though higher water temperatures are avoided. Has anyone tried running cells on superheated water, let’s say…250 degrees+? Additionally, I’ve read that many of you have experienced higher level amperage draw when the water temperature goes up, could this be stopped using a PWM?
Ok, I’ll stop there for now. Thanks in advance for your help, I’m sure once I have a better understanding I’ll be able to lend some help back. And my apologies for what may be some very beginner questions to you all.
