So in the morning I cleaned it out again, still fair bit of brown coming out
but a little better than yesterday.
Ran for 2 hrs and cleaned again - not much this time..
Ran for 2 hrs then did Test :
-
13.9 V...6.6 A...60 sec for 500ml...30.0 LPH... . 3.0 W/LPH
-
So again we see the improvement from Conditioning.
Even with this contaminent, It is still low concentration of KOH.
Looking good for 0.6 L per min once I increase the KOH percentage.

Attemped to install the Unit on Wifes car today.
Started off with an awefull headache, so it was going to be a challenge to
do. Struggled away , got it all mounted & connected. Started it up and........
Well nothing.
Measured the voltage...14 V to unit.
Measured the current....5 A through unit - well must be a leak.!
found leak in my pipe connections, fixed.
Turned it on again......nothing.
checked voltage....12 V to unit.
Current .....2 A.
This just made my Headache " POUND ".
Will have to get back to it tomorrow, when I can think straight.
(very dissapointing.! )

I am so sorry to hear of that Glenn. I certainly hope you feel better soon. You may need to just take a break and let your body recover.

I knew I read that somewhere..!
Just thought I'd save you the trouble of posting it " again "

Glenn did not run his cell at 210 degrees F, nor did he use tap water. Thermal runaway is not going to raise the water temperature to boiling in most cases because it cannot, the evaporating water vapor coming off cools the liquid before it can actually boil. Only a super innefficient cell running on way too much voltage/current will actually reach boiling. But irregardless, anything over 180 F is going to put out so much water vapor to be useless for anything other than a hot vapor water injection system.

Thermal runaway as referred to in electrolysis systems is the electrolyte starting out cool and getting hotter and hotter from the increasing current flow. If unchecked, it eventually will reach a point where it will stabalize, but that is going to be way to hot to run efficiently and it will put out loads of excess hot water vapor. In many cases it will reach meltdown temperature of the container used to hold the electrolyte, hence thermal runaway until meltdown. We're not talking nuclear meltdown here, we are talking about thermal melting of the container.

unless you are running a tank like mine, lol
