your spacing is to wide… the amounts of voltage u should be using on average is around 12-15 volts.. if you want to use that spacing try a series of neg and pos throughout the curcuit. 12v should get 5-10 amps due to the size and thickness of your stainless steel.
I think. that little amps and big gap between plates its causing a slow production. BUT
Remeber that you are splitting H2O meaning you get twice the amount of H(- cathode) than you would from O(anode +)it is the way it should look like, unless you are getting more at the pos than the neg.
to see a bigger production just add a little electrolite. to speed it up.
water is not conductive enough and thats is why 96v with a tiny 1/2A is not getting the job done at a higher rate.
The plates are to far apart would require alot more amps with that spacing configuration… & the water is to low. Try adding more first ~ should be over the plates.
you need to reach for aprox. 5amps draw and 13 volts
What I mean is the more amps you put into the circuit, the faster the electricity will move through the liquid. Probably use a coil to create inductance like spark plugs. Just a thought =)
Also check to see if you have even resistance between the cells. If not dump the water a start again. Handle your plates with gloves don’t leave any oily finger prints behind.
There won’t be any faster jump across the cells. It is the voltage that is charring the current. There’s just not enough current right now. Keep playing and step up those fields…add more current.
If you think what I’m doing is obsolete and a waste of time, why are you wasting your time watching this? Unless of course you think there’s a possibility we may be breaking some new ground that’s not quite so obvious?
Probably want to put more amps rather than more volts, try stepping the 96 volts down to 12 and produce 8 times more amps, it’ll allow a faster jump across the cells.
I guess I did all this as a kid back in 1971… So what’s the point?… My voltmeter was run by tubes back then, but the “results” are still just as expected…

It’s an experimental test cell only designed to be able to observe.

Hi ZFF.
your hand motion is faster than the autofocusing speed of your cam.
have you considered exchanging the fast prod. plates to the middle and the slower to the ends? might help speeding up those slower plates. who knows.
keep it up, good work.

lower volts, increase amps,raise water level to juts above the plates, and reverse +/-

impressive build.

Lye
How are you going to produce 96 volts in your car?
It was cells like this that made Faraday think this would not work.
Go to two volts per cell, lower your cell numbers to fit the application (12 volts 6 cells for a car) and get your amps way up to 10 or so.
Keep trying.

But why? Should I be going after something different? Or is this the natural progression of electrolyzer preparation?

Please explain what you mean by faster jump across the cells?

Wooooooo congratz!

If you can raise water a little more it should help the flow to clean the plates better,I think.Good job it show a lot. Keep it up

Just look up “Electrolysis” on wikipedia…
Dude, your back in the 1700′s now…

Very good observation on the effect
