Brown’s Gas production, due to the design of the electrolyzer, is increasingly efficient as compared to independently ducted electrolysis. A common ducted electrolyzer, utilizing series cell parallel plate design, establishes a superior level of surface area, and an inherent ability to optimize the voltage magnitude per cell. In combination with capacitive amperage limiting, also known as a clipping circuit, the amount of voltage and current, per cell, is completely customizable. The series cell parallel plate electrolyzer can specify the amount of energy consumed, and allows for overwhelmingly superior power management, thus leading to an increase in efficiency.

Parallel cell electrolyzers cannot manage power the same was as a common ducted electrolyzer. By arranging cells in parallel the voltage across each cell will be constant, but the current delivered to each dell will be shared amongst all existing cells. This means that to mitigate the energy consumed, by each cell, the production rate must be sacrificed.

A standard item in the typical Chemistry Laboratory is a Gas Chromatograph. This device identifies the molecular components of a sample substance specifying their AMU’s. This standard item can be used to analyze Brown’s Gas and reveal its internal molecular structures. Doctor Santilli performed such a GC experiment on a type of Brown’s Gas, and since such analysis has no precedence, there is no means of comparison. What is needed is data from many different Gas Chromatographs of Brown’s Gas produced in varying common ducted electrolyzer designs. Doing so will produce substantive data to analyze and draw precise conclusions. The current conclusions about Brown’s Gas are predominantly theory based on a trickle of laboratory data. Although the currently existing data is exciting, and consistent with proposed theory, subsequent experimentation and data production is required.

Hydrogen Fuel Analysis

In chemistry, oxygen does not contribute energy to chemical reactions, and its main role is the facilitation of combustion. Considering this, Oxy-Hydrogen, Brown’s Gas, and Pure Hydrogen all have the exact same energy content on a mole per mole basis. Given the 1’st and 2′nd laws of electrolysis, energy in is always greater than energy out, why use one Hydrogen Fuel over another?

Pure Hydrogen

The beauty of pure hydrogen is that it can be substantially pressurized to over ten thousand [10,000] psi, which makes it a suitable fuel for tanking, storage, and distribution. Carbon nano-tube based materials, and potentially high strength alloys, appear to be the future of tanking.

Oxy-Hydrogen

Oxy-Hydrogen can be produced from tanked hydrogen and oxygen gases for torch application. Doing so will allow for the maximum potential of efficient energy recovery from the hydrogen. The more accurate the 2:1 ratio of hydrogen versus oxygen respectively, the more efficient the combustion of the hydrogen and oxygen into water and energy.

Brown’s Gas

Brown’s Gas can only be produced in a common ducted electrolyzer. The most efficient common ducted electrolyzer design is series cell parallel plate. By not separating the product hydrogen and oxygen gases efficiency is improved; when hydrogen is in the presence of oxygen, immediately after electrolytic production, the formation of diatomic hydrogen and oxygen formation is accompanied by subsequent structures of increased energy content. This accounts for the increasingly efficient electrolytic reaction observed in series cell common ducted electrolyzers.

Series Cell Analysis

Electrical circuit theory contains the principle of voltage division. Resistors in series share a portion of the net voltage that is proportional to the resistance of the element. For instance if you have five 1 k-Ohm resistors in series, and a 1 kV source is attached with associated grounding, each resistor will have .2kVolts across it.

Current is responsible for electrolysis, therefore by placing capacitor plates in series, with an electrolytic solution between the plates, the same current will pass through each of the electrolytic cells, while the voltage will divide for each successive cell added. By establishing sufficient conductivity, with NaOH or KOH, the maximum possible current flow is encouraged, while the voltage across each cell can be increased or decreased by the addition or subtraction of successive cells. The more cells in a series cell electrolyzer, the less power consumed in each cell, which allows for better temperature management, and production efficiency; too many cells and the voltage will be insufficient to produce substantial gas, too few cells and the power delivered to each cell can easily get high enough to heat the electrolyte to boiling temperature. Its a balance of efficiency, and production requirements.

Parallel cell electrolyzers inherently can be modeled as resistors in parallel. If a 1 kV source is applied across 5 1 kOhm resistors in parellel, the same voltage is across each resistor, but the current is divided amongst the resistors according to the parameters of current division. Because of this the addition of successive electrolytic cells in parallel will only decrease the amount of current flowing through each cell, which results in a decreased electrolytic reaction magnitude.

Conclusively series cell electrolyers are more practical considering the effect of electrolytic cell addition and subtraction; the electrolyzer can be more tailored to production or economic requirements. Whereas the parallel cell electrolyzer is either unstable or under-productive. In general the series cell should be the design parameter of choice for efficient and productive electrolyzers.

Brown’s Gas is common ducted oxyhydrogen; oxyhydrogen produced in a common ducted electrolyzer. From a practical level, what can visually observed, Brown’s Gas is indistinguishable from oxyhydrogen. The only sensory distinction, that can be observed, is the apparent temperature of the Brown’s Gas flame as compared to that of oxyhydrogen. Considering this obvious and duplicable phenomena, common ducted oxyhydrogen reasonably shares the vast majority of properties with oxyhydrogen, but possesses several distinctions.
