A couple attempts I added the sodum to get a 15amp draw. Then watched it. I returned an hour later to find the solution boiling like crazy and the AMP gauge pegged at over 60amps. Needless to say wires were red and seals melted down.
Next I repaired and then this time I took 1/4 tsp and mixed it in 20ml of distilled water. This time I used a syringe and added 2ml. Amps immediately went to 10amps but went down within a min or 2. I then added another 3ml to total the solution at 5ml. (Again solution was 1/4 tsp to 20ml water. Mixed and dispensed as discribed from a syringe).
After adding the total of 5ml soultion I waited. the first hour seemed steady around 6-7amps. But then it began to climb. 2 hours later I stopped the process when the amps grew to over 30amps. Thinking it was the heated water I ended this for the day. The following day however right when I connected the Amps jumped right up to 30 amps immediately. I let it go but had to pull the plug when the terminals began to heat up. I can assume heated solution was not the sole answer.
Why did this happen? What could have changed when temperature was ruled out?
Is there a way or method to limit the current going to the generator so no matter what the concentration level is the predetermined amperage will not be exceeded?Statistics: Posted by scopemaster — Sat Sep 10, 2005 1:02 pm
