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.

This was the setup for my volume tests. My volume tests told me that I really need to seal my connections better (lots of hissing from the top of the bubbler when I connected the 2L bottle full of water to the hose that connects to the top of the bubbler.

Remember to label all of your harmful chemicals and such! You never know when some thirsty vagrant could show up and decide to try and drink that "water" thats sitting on your bench!

The sodium (I'm guessing), left over on the outside of my bulletproof sheets.  It wipes off, and doesn't seem to leave any marks or pits in the surface of the plastic, so I assume it's not due to any reaction.

This was after my last run.  The numbers for the last run are:

Time -- Bubbles / Minute -- Current
-----------------------------------
7:23 -- 99 -- 2.68 A
7:25 -- 100 -- 2.73 A
7:30 -- 101 -- 2.71 A
7:41 -- 100 -- 2.84 A
7:51 -- 102 -- 2.94 A
7:59 -- 101 -- 3.00 A

End: 8:05 @ 3.09A

During this time, I filled a 591 ml water bottle with water, and then stuck the hose into the bottle.  It took approx. 5 minutes to displace the water in the bottle with hydroxy.

Start of bottle fill: 7:34:30 -- 2.75A
End of bottle fill: 7:39:28 -- 2.92A

0.11L/min?

----
I noticed that the number in this test didn't work out like the last test (2.86A @ 78 bubbles/minute in the last full test, and 2.84A @ 100 bubbles/minute in this test).

The only two things that changed:
(1) I changed the way I hook up the electrodes.  I used to push the wires between the outside plate, and the bulletproof stuff.  Now, I electrical-taped the wires to a piece of stainless shim stock, and slid the shim stock between the outside plate and the bulletproff stuff.

(2) After two test runs, I added more (lye + water), in approximately the same concentration as the first time.  Since (in theory) only the water is supposed to dissociate, this should give me an increased lye concentration.  Perhaps this is the reason for the increased gas production?  Once again, I am able to touch the plates (they are not too hot to touch).
