Guys,
Has anyone tried anything with a Dry Cell? I am about to start to build one and see if they are better than the conventional wet Cell. any comments or ideas on the dry cell would be appreciated. |

I am just about to start playing around with Dry Cells. Does anyone have any experience with these? Any ideas would be great.

I think they are the way to go efficiencywise, - have u checked out the new smack's booster that he has on utube? He reckons it produces 1 lpm for every 10 amps and without the heat buildup that u get with cells in common bath. (do a utube search for BB gen IV) Garth

Garth,
My new Dry Cell is nearly complete. It is 21 plates +nnnn-nnnn+nnnn-nnnn+ At the moment my gaskets are only 1mm thick so I am going to try it out and maybe have to double up on the gaskets to make a 2mm gap. I should have it complete by the weekend and fitted into the car early next week. I'm looking forward to testing and seeing the results. My plate size is 130mm x 130mm |

sorry if this is a dumb question but what is mmw i'm guessing it's the amount of gas produced

Yes you are guessing correctly, it stands for mililitres per minute per watt here is a link to a handy calculator:- http://www.watervan.co.uk/tools.php

Hi I have a Falcon Au duel fuel.I want to use a hho drycell with lpg and efie.Does the lpg still use the ecu or not.I am trying to connect the efie signal wire.
Thanks in advance |

Should i use a map sensor adjuster or efie to lean the mixture on the Falcon Au lpg.
thanks

opened it up and negative electrode was all covered in red/brown slimy coating, same stuff that builds up and sinks to the bottom. tried cleaning it off, but even though it wipes off easily it is not easy to reach all surfaces of the wire. retried with what cleaning i could do and gas output was better but not as good as in the beginning, so replaced entire negative electrode, and fresh electrolyte and tested - all good. So looks like this design is only good for about a week (or 300km or so) between cleaning which is not exactly user friendly. Need to try some different setups next - probably one with plates - should hopefully produce better gas output too. Apparently from what i can gather my 2.4 litre motor probably needs closer to half a litre per minute of hydroxy gas. And my cell is only producing between 200 to 250 ml per minute. i just bought a drycell hho converter putting out 5lts P/m and said to use only distilled water and NaOh as the electrolyser which i think in common terms is caustic soda. anything else will cause brown gunk from mineral deposits and decrease hho production. good luck with your tesing

I started testing the new Dry Cell last night. I powered it by the car it is going into. My electrolyte solution is 1 teaspoon of NaOH per litre of water (I use rainwater, not distilled water). After half an hour it was pulling 36 amps and producing HHO like I have never seen. I didn't measure the output, at this stage I am more concerned about keeping the heat down, which I think I have done as the unit was only warm to the touch.
I have a pwm, but was not using it and the amps seemed to steady at 36 amps. I will dilute my solution as I want to get it run without a pwm if possible. i will keep you posted |

I bought some Caustic Soda from Coles for $5.00. It is 98% NaOH which seems to be pretty good. I've been using it for a while now in my other units and it keeps coming up clear. |
