Bob Boyce High-Efficiency Electrolyzer

### 101-Plate Series Cell Design Bob Boyce designed a series-cell electrolyzer consisting of 101 precisely prepared stainless steel plates, laser-cut to fit slots in a heavy-duty acrylic casing. Because the plates are in series, the 120V or 240V DC input is divided across 100 individual cell chambers (~2V per cell), minimizing heat generation. ### Plate Preparation and Conditioning * **Cross-Sanding**: Clean 316L plates are sanded with 80-grit sandpaper in a 90-degree crosshatch pattern to maximize active surface area. * **KOH Conditioning**: The stack is filled with 1% NaOH or KOH solution. Current is cycled systematically for 48 hours to form a stable catalytic layer. * **Resonant Driver**: Driven by a PWM3 triple-oscillator board through a custom toroid transformer. Three mixed frequencies (gated waveforms) are applied to trigger resonance in the conditioned plate stack.
