Physical Specs
'Modeled' Electrolyzer Design: 
Tero
Electrode Material: 
304
Electrode Type: 
Plates
Number of Electrodes: 
8
Number of Cells: 
7
Electrolyte: 
NaOH
Electrolyzer Design Modifications: 

From the Tero I used alternating feed holes, and exhaust holes, but when it didn't work i flipped every other plate to line them up: that wasnt' the problem. All holes are 1/4". 7 cells is one of the problems. Nylon bolts was a bad idea. HDPV plastic end plates; easy drilling stuff.

Electrolyzer Problems: 

Will be eliminating the 7th cell next build. Got rid of the nylon bolts: they can't be tightened. Tried plexi spacers with shower base sheet gaskets on either side: the stupid things both conduct electricity. (cheap plexi will) next build will be trying screen spline at .175"

Not very efficient??

Hi,...

I 've rebuild an electrolizer like yours, and i become much more HHO Gas with much less Ampeers,...

I thing that your Plastic Spacers are one of the Problems.
I use only 1mm Gaskets without spacers. The Hole between the Plates is ONLY at the upper side.
That runs very good... and the Electrolyzer is very small.

Regards

Dry cell

Runs very good doesn't mean squat. What is your amperage, output, and temperature after an hour?
I rebuilt the unit, taking out the spacers and gaskets, and used 1/8" o-ring material. It now is my best unit, putting out just a bit over a liter/min. at 12 amps average, although the amps go up and down a lot when running. It only hits 85 degrees F. in rush hour traffic.
