Project Description:
Electrolyser v4.

-In this version, my main goal was to minimize the amount of standing hydroxy in the system.
-I changed this version to submerged, instead of series.  Series cell electrolysers are quite a pain in the butt.
-Everything in this version is quite cheap ($20 in shim stock, $30 in hardware, $4 in containers, so far).
-My ultimate goal is to create many of these units in series, off a 24v power supply, and to create enough gas for welding.

Updates:
10/10/05 - Updated title of the project.  Abandoned because of difficulties sealing the container.

Here are the strips of stainless shim stock that I cut out for my v2 electrolyser. Since the bottom of the ziplock containers that I used were 4 1/2" wide, I cut my 6" stainless stock in two with a dremel. This gave me 3" long strips, and enough room to offset them and still allow them to fit in the container.

I used 10-32 nylon threaded rod and stainless rod to hold my plates together.

Here is the bag of hardware -- 10-32 stainless nuts, 10-32 nylon nuts, and some 3/16" O-rings.

The completed product. I'm not completely happy with the spacing of the plates -- It turned out to be very uneven. I'm thinking about putting a small piece of weatherstripping between the ends of each of the plates, to keep consistant spacing. The next cell I make, I'm going to put 2 nylon rods through -- One at each open end of the strips.

A better view of what I'm doing.

I drilled holes in the stainless shim stock, in order to allow the nylon and stainless rods to pass through.

I learned, through the drilling, that it's a much better idea to drill through 3 or 4 at once, then to try and drill through 20 or 30 at once.  I ended up overheating and snapping the end off a cobalt drill bit (despite the cutting fluid).  Oh well, it's all in good fun!
