Practical Guige to Free Energy Devices

shatter discs seem attractive options to many people, but these are useless with hydroxy gas which contains the
ideal proportions of hydrogen fuel and oxygen, which when ignited produce a shock-wave so fast that these
devices do not have time to operate. An electrolyser of the size and proportions suggested here contains far too
much hydroxy gas to be contained by any kind of metal casing.
Baffle System:
It must be assumed that the high rate of gas production will cause splashing and even with having some four
inches of plate above the surface of the electrolyser, that tiny droplets will be projected upwards above the plates.
It is essential that these droplets are trapped and that any KOH vapour mixed with the hydroxy gas is removed
before the gas is fed to the engine.
A set of baffles above the plates can be used to intercept any droplets and return them to the electrolyte again,
and two bubblers can be used to wash any KOH vapour out of the hydroxy gas and protect both the engine and
prevent a serious explosion in the unlikely event of a malfunction of the generator engine. The baffles can be
made of acrylic and could be like this:
Ideally, the lower end of the lowest baffle plate is grooved so that there is a ridge on the underside of the baffle
located just above each body of electrolyte so that any drips land directly where they should.
The Outer Case:
As this electrolyser design is built up from the separate self-contained components of the plate array, the water
supply pipe pair and the baffle plate array, it is necessary to enclose these in an outer case as shown above. It
could easily be thought that this case is of little consequence and so could be constructed from almost any
material, but this is not so as the case has to be able to withstand prolonged exposure to strong KOH electrolyte
and to be robust enough not to break if an attempt to pick it up off the floor.
A construction of this general size will have a substantial weight as it contains some 300 square feet of stainless
steel sheet, plus more than three cubic feet of electrolyte weighing about 248 pounds or 113 Kg. So the plates
and electrolyte will weigh about 1,000 pounds or 460 Kg. and therefore if it is intended that the electrolyser is to
be picked up and moved, it will be necessary to place it on a pallet or use a steel plate under the case with angle
irons at the corners and a central lifting point for a hoist.
Considering these facts, the case should be constructed from acrylic sheet 25 mm thick. Acrylic sheets can be
connected together with a solvent which the supplier of the acrylic can provide. This does not ‘glue’ the sheets
together but actually combines them into one integral piece with no join. Surprisingly, this actually calls for a high
degree of precision in cutting the sheets which are to be joined together as the requirement is for a perfect mating
of the two surfaces before the solvent is applied. It might be noted that Ed Holdgate who has high quality
machine tools, years of experience and a high level of personal skill, sub-contracts the jointing of the acrylic
components which go to make up a Bob Boyce electrolyser case.
Bubblers:
A fact which is easily overlooked is the sheer volume of gas coming off an electrolyser of this size. It is one thing
to calculate the diameter of pipe needed to carry the gas flow, but another to realise that the same gas flow needs
