Checking on water charging process
Hi Moshe,
We\’re currently on the process of charging the cell. I would like to tell you how we have set up the charging process and what we\’re getting to make sure that we\’re doing things right and get an idea of how much we have left until the cell is properly charged.
System
We\’re using Method #1. We\’re applying around 64 V which produced 1 Amp during the first charges. I have removed the amp-meter from the system now.
We apply this tension for 3 minutes, 6 times per day. We\’re using a digital timer to prevent overcharging or forgetting to charge.We\’re using a good brand of spring water in Spain. It has low salts content.
Current state of the cell and the water
As of today we have been charging for 5 days.
When the charging circuit is on some come out of the top of the cell. No foam and no brown water is formed.Bubbles have formed around the cell. The water has turned to some yellow/greenish color.
The residual voltage of the cell is around 1.1 V, 3 hours after the last charge.
Some brown drops were leaking out of the bottom of the cell. I guess that is because of the oxidation of the threaded rod.
Questions
Is our set up correct? Is there any adjustment we should do?
How long should we go on with this charging cycle? Do we use residual voltage as guidance?
Do we repeat the charging cycle with the same water o with new water? How many times?
Thank you in advance for your feedback and insights!
