    Here is my design for a test core/electrode. All parts bought from hardware store. Now I'm looking for a housing. The bolts will stick out the side of the housing and electricity will be applied to the posts. I used vacuum hose as insulators between each plate. They alternate so that every other plate is connected one bolt(+) and the other(-) plates make contact with the other.

    This is only a test core so that we can experiment with ideas.

    Be careful Detector. Hydrogen is very explosive/flammable you know. don't smoke around it!

    I wanted to mention a little disaster called the Hindenburg but didn't want to be an alarmist!

    I'm sure you are taking the proper cautions.

    Well I am now! I gave it the burn test yesterday and let me say I learned a valuable lesson and no one got hurt.

    I stuck my lighter up to the top nozzle where the hydrogen will be feed to the engine to make sure it was producing hydrogen. I expected a nice constant blue flame but instead got a small explosion. Yes hydrogen DOES burn much quicker than I expected. The flame must have flashed back into the nozzle and ignited the hydrogen at the top of the bottle.

    I saw no flame at all, just a loud sharp bang and felt air hit my stomach. The lid must have lifted when the hydrogen in the bottle exploded and hit my stomach. Yes it is producing hydrogen! I won't be doing that again.

    My next plan is to try and get a measurement on the amount of hydrogen being produced. I plan to put a balloon over the nozzle and see how long it takes to fill it up. From that I know I've seen a formula to calculate how much is being produced.

    OMG Detector..... I would say STOP NOW!!!!!!

    ... I found this article while researching... Try this instead.

    “Ten years ago I could never have imagined I’d be doing this,” says Greg Pal, 33, a former software executive, as he squints into the late afternoon Californian sun. “I mean, this is essentially agriculture, right? But the people I talk to – especially the ones coming out of business school – this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into.”
