Hydrogen Generator Using Aluminum
Plates
July 15, 2008
My first Hydrogen & Oxygen Generator This is how
I got started testing my hydrogen/oxygen generator which makes gas from water. The pictures below
show a different way to construct one of these using aluminum plates. The unit above was
constructed to be more maintenance free and durable for use in a car. But the unit below works
great at a lower cost of fabrication.
Note! When testing this unit with the aluminum plates
there seemed to be some oxidation of the aluminum. This oxidation clouded the water then later
settled to the bottom. I shook up the water mixing everything up clouding the water again. When I
connected the electrical leads after doing this the amperage was so high that after a short while
the test leads I was using for a connection began to smoke forcing me to disconnect them in a
hurry. I also noticed the unit itself getting very hot especially at the wire connections. I would
assume the oxidized particles very conductive and caused a stronger electric current. I also notice
hydrogen and oxygen being produced very fast while this was going on. If you construct one of these
out of aluminum be advised that you may not want to shake up the water/electrolyte without a good
fuse connected.
