What is a water electrolysis device?

One such device is a cell that can decompose water into its basic elements

hydrogen and oxygen using an electric current is passed through it. The resultant

gas composed of hydrogen and oxygen so, such a gas gained many names such as

"hydroxy", "Browns Gas", "HHO Gas". uch gas is highly explosive, more explosive

than hydrogen itself comprises Because this has its own oxidant oxygen. The gas is

many times more dangerous than the gasoline vapors, burning nearly !, times

faster than this. The slightest spar# acetate product will ignite the gas, and a similar

volume of cups of this gas is enough to cause hearing impairments or deafness in

by brea#ing eardrums.Because of this, the most important part of water electrolysis

operation and safety devices consists in maintaining a gas as little unused to not be

accidentally ignited. The ob$ectives are to maintain a small amount of gas in the

system to an absolute minimum and prevention of %ame that gas. &ow the 'uestion

is whether this gas is so dangerous, why would people build such devices( Theanswer is because it is very useful. Gas emissions of a very simple such apparatus

mixed with air in the inta#e of an internal combustion engine of a vechicle can lead

to less consumption per hundred #ilometers, cleaning the engine of any carbon

deposits from the combustion of fossil fuels, thus increasing the duration life of such

engine, and the exhaust gases of vehicles will be less harmful to the

environment.The gas produced by such a device larger and higher e)ciency can

replace de*nitively conventional fuel used car, but with the installation of such a

device should be prepared for a 'uite complicated construction thereof and the rust

will occur in the exhaust system of cars due to water produced by burning gas. +n

some cases can even rust pistons rings the rings- but not in all cases and

depending on how the device realiation.

The simplest method of building such a facility is the creation of a single cell. +ts sie

and shape may vary depending on the space available in the engine compartment

and the selected model herself. /any opt for a cylindrical vessel because they are

easy to ma#e and the materials needed are found relatively easy.

The yield of a production gas 0lants depend on1

!. The li'uid used for electrolysis. +f distilled water is used when the amount of

current %owing through it is negligible due to its high resistance, so the production

is very low.

+f salt water is added gas production increase enormously. +n any case the addition

of salt &a2l- in such a device is very harmful because of the chlorine gas emitted

by decomposing it also has the ability to destroy the salt of the metal electrodes of

the device. +t is also not advisable to introduce battery acid or other additives such

as water as unpleasant e3ects.

But it was found that two substances behave as well in their gas production and

also does not damage the metal electrodes. They are sodium hydroxide &aOH- and

potassium hydroxide 4OH-, the latter

the most recommended by acting as a catalyst helping to brea# down water.

5. The space between metal electrodes. 6s they are more even gas productionincreases thus re'uiring less power from the battery. There is a limit because

pla'ues are too close if gas bubbles that form on these plates, electrodes would

come o3 hard so preventing a smooth production. Best space to be preserved is

approx 7 millimeters, although some people prefer to #eep them at 8 mm from each

other. These boards must be made of stainless steel, sheet steel, 'uality 7!9 being

most preferred.

7. The contact surface area of electrodes with the electrolyte and prepare them for

installation.

The %uid is water that has been dissolved in one of the above mentioned

substances, 4OH and &aOH. The more maire contact surface the better. +t isrecommended that boards be as large to help loosen these bubbles are needed

about !7:58 cm; and the amp used in the system.

How they are prepared plate has a ma$or e3ect on the production of gas. 6 clear

improvement of the production is achieved if both sides of the boards are sanded

polished- in two perpendicular directions this forms on the pla'ue surface

elevations and dimples numerous microscopic bubbles help loosen the boards-. The

plates are assembled and electrolyte are allowed to operate for about 7 days. This

creates a protective layer on the surface of pla'ue which helps brea# down water.

The plates are then rinsed with distilled water and the cell that carried out the *rst

electrolysis will be changed electrolyte. uantity of current is controlled by the

concentration potastiu hydroxide dissolved in water or sodium hydroxide and

tension is applied tiles. ?oltage is applied to !.5=? board has limited e3ect. Once

past the threshold, the excess voltage will not be used to degrade water but its

warming. @etAs say the cell amperage is !6, in this case power is used to

decompose water !6 x !.5=? !5.= watts. Chen the engine is running voltage atthe battery terminals will be approx !7.D? due to additional energy generation by

the alternator to charge it. Excess voltage applied to the cell is minus !.5= !7.D?,

!5.8? therefore say that will power water heating will only be !58C. This is a

strength ! times greater than the one used for the decomposition of water that is

wasted, it is very ine)cient. The best product for the manufacture of sheet steel

plate is 'uality 7!9@. +t is hard to believe but there is a power failure on boards that

do 5? voltage to be applied to each side of the cell plates. o if you apply a voltage

of !5? on 9 cells in series to obtain a highest possible e)ciency thereof. Cith the

engine we have nearly !=? is necessary to have seven cells for maximum e)ciency.

The %uid that heats is a serious because it leads to the formation of water vapor,

after boiling it, which could reach the engine. The water entered the engine by

spraying it is a good thing because it leads to a lower temperature of the engine,

increasing its e)ciency and increases performance. Cater in$ected into the engineinstantly vaporie but in our case the water is already vaporied and help stop the

engine, on the contrary leading to its malfunction.

Forward voltage cell is stable, but its intensity is on contentratia 4OH electrolyte and

the active surface of the tiles in contact with water. 2ell once built, the contact

surface remains constant and can only be modi*ed 4OH concentration. There is also

a community 4OH concentration limit of 5D water mass-. Once exceeded this

concentration gas production declines. sually it uses a small amount of 4OH.

produced by means of vacuum produced by the engine and thus forms a column of

air bubbles o3 the boards.
