Project Description:
After my first failure with the metals reacting to the lye, and halfway through my second unit, I decided to go a different route and try a series cell design.

It wasn't until Kevensatterfield posted about the weatherstripping that I decided to do this, so thanks Kevin!

Also a big thanks to Chris for the use of this site, and all of the folk out there discussing things on a daily basis -- It makes for interesting reading.

I have run this electrolyser a few different times, and have performed some measurements.  I will include these in my picture descriptions as I go along.  I hope to build another couple of units in different configurations to try and get as much experience and exposure as I can to this.  As I do, I will continue to post my results.

1.68 amps on the first attempt.  I can't really tell you how much lye is in there.  I dumped it in after I connected everything.

As I mentioned earlier, I "ignored" two of the cells (the ones on the right).  You can clearly see the bubbles on the left.

After adding more lye, stirring, and waiting, I ended up getting the current up to 2.94A.

Here is the table of my measurements (not capable of volume measurements yet):

Time - Current
--------------
5:30 - 1.6A
6:20 - 2.45A
-- Stirred lye at the bottom
  -- 2.92A
-- I can still touch the plates -- they are only warm to the touch
6:28 - 2.92A
6:30 - 2.67A
-- Stirred lye at the bottom
  -- 3.29A

After my testing, I disassembled the plates (the wood was starting to disintegrate).  This is what the plates looked like.

My new setup!  No more wood!  This time, I used some leftover "bulletproof" plexiglass-type stuff that I use for router table/table saw inserts.
