Anode Terminal For Water4Gas Electrolysis Unit
Posted Under: Building The Hydrogen Boioster,Water Hybrids
I felt that I had to say something because it has been several days since I had made a Post. Unfortunately, my computer went haywire last Friday and I was without a computer until Monday AM
I am working on the shape of the Anode Terminal from the Water4Gas Electrolysis unit. Normally, the manual calls for a 1/8th inch Plexiglas cut and shaped to make a four sided terminal and then to wind the 316L wire around it. But, I have had problems shaping the terminal with the Plexiglas and finally began to use vinyl siding for the terminal. I am trying to stick as close to the manual as possible but sometimes have had to substitute one thing for another. I will take a picture of my terminal and post it to the website when I can . For the wire that will interact with the distilled water and catalyst; I am using NiTi wire. It seems to be much easier to wind and shape the terminal than the more stiff 316L. I have decidied to double braid it and will use around 12 or so feet of the wire. The NiTi wire is Nickel Titanium wire and works just as well as the higher grade if stainless steel wire. Since the cathode terminal will not have the heavy oxidation from the battery; its less expensive to use the more common 304 or stainless steel locking wire from Defender used in sail boats. I think that will be all for today. I will post more tomorrow and probably have some pictures of the terminal to post here.

Jim, about your tower: I get my tower cut by a plexiglass supplier who also laser cuts the 1/4 inch spaced grooves for the wires for me. It costs me about $12.20 NZ each per unit which would be about $7.50 US.
About the NITI wire you use: I have tried to source this from Fairfield Orthodontics on the water4gas site but they said they sent me some 6 weeks ago but i have not received it. I was wondering where you get yours from and if you might know of any other suppliers of NITI wire. And, incidentally, what results are you getting from your electrolyser? Thanks, John Carter, New Zealand.
Hi John: I am struggling with screen freezes after 3-4 keystrokes at different times of the day. No one here
is able to repair. So I want to send emails but only with any luck like rrightnow can I work. I average 3-4 additional MPG with a 6cycliunder Mazda B3000. I use a charged water system I haven’t yet found a moderately priced camera to display pictures. When I do and can learn about it I will show the generator cooking away and charging my Tap water with gas.
All the best, Jim
