[I made an electrolysis unit and ran a Bunsen burner with it using no electrolyte additives. The device ran on distilled water and used only 150 watts of brute force 12VDC (No Pulse). Inner/Outer tube cell design. In 2005 i became interested in electrolysis for the purpose of liberating hydrogen from water and using it as fuel. I have since learned that there are many pros and cons (Professionals and Con-artists) in fact there are even some professional con artists selling devices on ebay that are very dangerous and poorly made using materials they found to be the cheapest for construction of their device. However, the real teachers would include STANLEY ALLEN MEYER, Daniel Dingel, and Bob Boyce. Google those names!!!! First and foremost NEVER USE GLASS as a container for your electrolysis apparatus because when you end up in a hospital from a flashback rupturing your cell, glass is hard to see in X-Rays. If you want to know the truth about Hydrogen instead of mere opinions from self educated individuals leaving comments (including myself) then visit YouTube and see the University of Berkeley Chem 1A series of videos. Here is a link to where they start; youtube/watch?v=3xK2l_pKrKI I used to make videos showing my progress with hydrogen projects but stopped making videos due to so many people having mixed feelings about the concept being a waste of time because it is not efficient. It is not a waste of time at all in my opinion. My videos are titled Hello Hydrogen part 1,2,3,ect on youtube. I dont care about how many views the videos get and i am only sharing these videos in an effort to make people aware of safety issues. If you are serious about building an electrolysis device then visit hhoinfo to find literally thousands of builders and see there variations. Stan Meyer gave me the inspiration to run a vehicle on water after seeing his video titled; Equinox - It runs on water. R.I.P. Stanley Allen Meyer Founder of the Water Fuel Cell Pointers; Stainless Steel 316 and 304 are inert to hydrogen, oxygen, and the combination of the two being water. Electrodes should be made from this material to prevent decomposition of your electrodes. The nasty stuff you see in the bottom for your cell after use is not healthy, keep it off you skin and away from ground water. Your getting it from impurities in your water, use distilled water only. Never compress Hydrogen and Oxygen together, its a recipe for disaster. I personally have ran my cell to 80 PSI during a cell pressure test, later I came to find out I was lucky I didnt lose my life in the process. Hydrogen and Oxygen will self implode at a certain pressure and also at a certain temperature and that is without any spark or flame. Keep it safe test your cell PSI with ambient air and a compressor not Hydrogen and Oxygen. Buy a real flashback arrestor that is safe for the use of hydrogen and oxygen DO NOT use a fish tank air line check valve as i have seen some try to do... Do not bother building a lawton box.... If you insist on pulsing then buy a pulse generator. HP Agilent makes a good vintage pulse gen (HP 8131A is what I got) that sells for around $300 on ebay these days, they where $42,000 in 1982. Do not get discouraged when you hear a college grad chemistry major try to tell you about the second law of thermodynamics, they didnt take into consideration that the water is holding the energy like a relay. It takes energy to break the covalent bond of water but you liberate energy in the process. They also didnt take into consideration that resonance can also play its role in electrolysis. It is believed that High Frequency Pulses of High Voltage DC can create very efficient electrolysis. The frequency of resonance is different for each cell and each cell condition such as cell construction, cell surface area, water temp, water composition, ect. So basically its a science still being understood just like everything else. If you were to P in an electrolysis device then turn it on you would create many gases aside from Hydrogen and Oxygen. During combustion one of the byproducts would be water vapor, that water vapor can be condensed back into water. Pure water. Water that is so pure it has 0 parts per million total dissolved solids. In fact the water needs nutrients added to it to keep it from leaching nutrients from the body when it is used as drinking water. Nasa has an electrolysis system on the space station ran by solar power to provide oxygen for breathing, it gets its water delivered from earth but can even run on water taken from urine! (Picture) static.ddmcdn/gif/oxygen-made-aboard-a-spacecraft-1.jpg Below is an article on it found at the following website; science.howstuffworks/oxygen-made-aboard-spacecraft.htm The International Space Station (ISS) was designed for long-term spaceflight and has been in orbit since 1998. So how is oxygen made aboard the ISS? Its handled in one of three ways, using oxygen generators, pressurized oxygen tanks or solid fuel oxygen generators (also called oxygen candles). The primary method is accomplished by the oxygen generators: the Russian-made Elektron and the U.S. Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS). The Elektron is located in the service module (Zvezda) and the ECLSS is located in the Destiny laboratory module. These devices make oxygen from water by a process called electrolysis, during which an electric current passes through water from one positively-charged electrode called an anode to another negatively-charged electrode called a cathode. Theres a small concentration of salt in the water to conduct electricity because water itself is a poor electrical conductor. In the process, water gets split into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Heres how the chemistry of the process works: * At the cathode, a type of reaction called reduction occurs. Electrons (e-) from the cathode combine with the water (H2O) to make hydrogen gas (H2) and hydroxide ions (OH-): 2H2O (l) + 2e- ->H2 (g) + 2 OH- (aq). * At the anode, a type of reaction called oxidation occurs. Electrons get removed from water and flow into the anode. Removing the electrons from water yields oxygen gas (O2) and hydrogen ions (H+): 2H2O (l) -> O2 (g) + 4 e- + 4 H+ The electricity is generated by the stations solar panels and supplied to the oxygen generators through the stations power grid. The water gets delivered to the station from Earth by Progress supply ships and the space shuttle. Water also gets reclaimed by condensers that remove water vapor from the cabin air (astronauts exhale water vapor). Finally, water can be recycled from the astronauts urine by the ECLSS unit. The hydrogen gas made in the electrolysis process gets vented into space and the oxygen gas is circulated into the cabin air. ARTICLE END In my opinion, I do not care if it takes a 10,000 watt electrolysis device to get an small 4 stroke engine running, because the sun and the wind and the water are still free.
