Our electrolyzers are a little bit more expensive than some of the other manufacturers out there. That's because of the materials that we use; for example: 3/4 inch Plexiglas, the stuff that separates the clerk and the customer in convenient stores in bad parts of town. It's bash and bullet proof, it's chemical and weather resistant, it's "within common reason" indestructible. Another reason for the clear Plexiglas is so you can actually see what is going on inside your dry cell. For instance, what the water level inside is, what your production looks like, etc.

 

Your dry cell should not be a mystery. You should not have to guess whats going on inside. Another property of the Punch 3.0 Dry Cell is the 100% stainless steel hardware used to fasten it together. Eight 5/16 bolts, washers, and nuts. Your high current electrodes are BIG 3/8 bolts bolted and torqued through the Plexiglas housing, connected directly to the 2 outer plates. These Punch 3.0 dry cells are built to handle what ever type of current you want to throw at them!

 

We use dual output holes on the top of our dry cells, connecting them together using a T connector. This allows for the HHO gas to escape quickly from both sides of the top of the cell without resistance. You have to remember that when water is split into HHO it expanse almost 2000 times into a gas form and needs to get out of the way quickly. We use dual outputs so the water level can be maintained inside the unit without back pressure pushing back on the water and forcing it backwards out of the cell emptying the water. This is something that would happen and you would never know without the clear Plexiglas housing.

 

The Punch 3.0 DC uses round neoprene spacers, unlike other company's that use square spacers. This is important because the electrolysis process inside the dry cell is happening very fast and very violent. Once again, we want to streamline the gasses escape from the unit. We do not want huge bubbles to gather in the corners of square spacers. What this will do is open up or not use huge areas of plate surface areas sporadically and in turn give you huge amperage surges, production spikes, and valleys. We want to keep things running as absolutely consistent as possible for many reasons. The two main reasons are for your alternators sake and the performance of your vehicle. You want a steady stream of gas not a sporadic one.

 

One important thing to consider is your individual mounting capability. Some situations will require a small circulation pump, some will not. If you can mount the water reservoir 3 feet above the dry cell you will not need a pump. Gravity will do all the work for you, replenishing your unit with fresh water and recirculating your electrolyte. If you have a pickup truck, for example, you have plenty of elevational differences on that vehicle. No pump is necessary. But, if you have a car and the reservoir and dry cell have to be level with one another you would need a pump to circulate the water and keep things in balance. This is the same for all dry cells, whether the creators admit it or not. It's just a fact, water does not run down a flat road.

 

My explanation on why I am a 5 plate advocate and not 8 plate. Sure, 8 plates is "technically" more efficient. 8 plates means 7 plate gaps and at 12 volts that's the perfect # for when the electrolysis process begins 1.7V. But, with voltage that low you need a full 16 oz bottle of KOH or NAOH (acid electrolyte) per gallon to make the water conductive enough to even begin to make HHO. At that concentrate of acidity it will eat your skin off! If you ever make a mistake, a hose pops off, or something were to happen, you would be in the hospital with third degree chemical burns where ever it touched you. That's not even mentioning if it sprayed you in the eyes!

*** NOTE: An 8 Plate, 7 Cell plate configuration can be configured for you at no additional cost. Please let us know at time of ordering. Keep in mind that you will need much more electrolyte. If that is ok with you then it is ok with us and we will be happy to build it for you!

 

On the other hand, with my 5 plate design there is 4 plate gaps. That's 3 volts per plate gap. Yes, there is a small amount of waste energy with the extra voltage present; but, the concentration of acid electrolyte is 1/16th the amount. In fact when you get it on your skin just go wash it off, no harm done. I still would not get it in my eyes but you get my point.

 

If your serious about getting into the hydrogen technology or just want to replace an old unit for a more efficient one this is the place to start. A dry cell is the only way to go.
