Measuring plate area

I noticed some calculations seemed to be off when looking at my data spreadsheet, and realize that some numbers could be off due to a ‘margin of error’ in the equipment, so reran some of the tests to verify the results, and got the same numbers.
The results showed that when doubling the plates the amps [...]

Small engine test results

My results this weekend were mixed to say the best, and here’s what I found.
The 14 h.p. B&S vanguard motor at full throttle, (normal mowing speed), 3600 rpm, used 1 oz of gas per minute average. The test was run 4 times, using a baby bottle with a measured 4 oz of gas, the motor [...]

HFE cell on small engine test

A Lawn mowing friend, interested in HFE’s for his 3 Working mowers, wants a demonstration of some type, on how well HFE’s work.
I inherited a 14hp BS Vanguard V-Twin motor, as an extra motor for my old craftsman mower that I dont own anymore.
So I decided to set it up with kill switch, fuel shut [...]

Neutral plate test

I used my condiment cups as plates for this test of neutral plates.
the percent decrease is from the plate setup one line above, i.e. the +NN- is 53% of amps of the +N- plates.
The parallel plates use single cell for comparison, i.e. the +NN-NN+ is compared to +NN- setup amps.

plate spacing

Did a test with a small set of plates for spacing:
the plates were set up as +NNNN-
using 2 tsp soda ash in liter water
1st spacing was with wire ties, .050 inch, and got 3.5a draw
2nd spacing was with nylon screen, .010×2 layers (.020 in) got 3.7a draw
3rd spacing was 1 layer nylon screen, .010 inches, [...]

Amps and flat plates

I did some experimenting last night using flat plates after watching a video about X plates.
Here’s what I did,
All tests used the same electrolyte/catalyst, a solution of 1/4tsp lye in 2 L of distilled water.
All tests used a 200ah 12v battery
