Knalgas -- H2 gas explosions [ 2 ]
- 12 years ago
Practical test run with the hydrogen generator making H2 gas in an empty cat food container and some milk bottles with good results.
Normal tap water was used with a little bit of vinegar added to make it more conductive.
Powersupply transformer came out of an old UPS 240 / 16 Volts - 8 Amps,
connected to a 35 Amps bridge rectifier, and 1000 uF smoothing capacitor.
The electrolyses current settles at around 2 to 2.5 Amps
Ignition is done with a 12 Volts automotive ignition coil. Briefly touching 12 V dc will give a spark on the ignition wire.
A couple of bangs were louder than expected and made my ears whistle so I had to use earmuffs afterwards.
Aluminium plates x 7 makes a 7 plate hydrogen cell with 4 negative and 3 positive plates. see knalgas video [ 1 ]
