Project Description:
leave a message for me at http://oupower.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=358

my 4 plate kettle ... made in 2002 and the controller in 2003 before i knew about the 2v water thing, so should work well of an old 5v mainframe 5v/100A computer power supply with only two of the plates wired ... will run warm off 12v/14v.

was always to scared to ignite its output, but have filled lots of balloons with it with 2 minute dynamite fuses and blown them up which is fun (i go to my friends farm ... he has a dynamite licence)

if i were to follow chris' thinking, i should build another 5 or 6 cells, and wire the 4 plates as two parallel pairs

the elctronics (my first successful electronics project) evolved after i tried replicating the "spirit ot ma'at" circuit diagrams which didn't work for me ... i made a mosfet version but the mosfets kept melting, so i had to go for the most indestructable mosfet (150A continuous) i could find ... so all a bit of a learning curve

my background; 13yrs schooling; 5 years university (law degree + 2/3 arts; mainly in social history), working part time in an autoelectricians (cleaner boy, rebuilding starters, generators, alternators) and in a speaker factory; then working full time as a technical assistant to a couple of firms of patent attorneys for 4 years, qualified as an attorney; 1988 stock market crashed caused career change to computer animation with an artist friend, specializing in 3D.cg tv commerials, now working for national television broadcaster looking after 30 computer artists

.

lots of bubbles

will have to use cleaner water, no electrolytes at this stage; then i started using caustic soda (drain unblocker), but found baking soda just as good and easier to handle ... wires are thin temporary ones

.

exploded view of the kettle

in the picture after this one you can see i have changed the location of the pressure gauge so that it was subsequently mounted in the centre of the cell. in this picture the gauge was not mounted in the centre.

i moved the gauge from the position shown here so i could attach an extending plastic tube (not shown here), which descends from the gauge's pressure inlet downwards, and into the centre of the PVC pipe, now only only water can enter the pressure gauge, not hydrox gases/bubbles. The gauge selling man said gauges which measure oxygen gas need to be specially cleaned of all greases to avoid catching fire, or specially rated expensive gauges should be purchased

he also advised that any pipe tape (the white stuff people use on gas/plumbing/flange connections and joints) should be grease free for the same reason ... the stuff they sell in hardware stores contains grease.

the kettle can quickly reach 15+ psi if not vented, then the internal pressure blows off the bottom screw cap
