I have been working on this HHO thing for a few weeks now and have been taking notes the whole way. I like to think I have learned a few useful things but still many things I dont know.
Currently I am using a 6 plate cell to test as many things as I can and collect all the data I can. When I get the pictures off this memory card I will post them but for now I am using those light socket covers from Lowes but flattened and connected together. The surface area (as far as I know) is currently 27sq inches of reactive surface. The power supply we are using is a ATX power supply to test a few different voltages.
It produces:
Orange Wire: 3.3v/15a
Red Wire: 5.15v/17a
Yellow Wire: 12v/17a
Rated to put out a max of 25a per line.
My question is once we connect on a 12v line even with tap water drawing 6a total in parallel it overheats (the wires between the power supply and the cell) within 3 minutes. When we ran a test with baking soda it was overheating MUCH faster so we only ran short 100ml test fills. It was getting to untouchable within 30-40 seconds.
When running a 100ml fill test the readings were:
11.88v/18.2a/216watts
100ml in 24 seconds
ml per sec: 4.58 / liters per hour: 16.5
Why are the wires getting hot? (sorry that was long winded. I just wanted to provide all the info that could be needed :))
Uwee, Thanks ahead of time for any info//
