Hi everyone.
I gave George Peroni of the hydrocap corp a call
today (305) 696-2504 and told him of our discussions regarding vacuums forming
in sealed battery pods using hydrocaps.
Here is what George told me... "On DISCHARGE
the hydrocaps are non stochimetric and give off more hydrogen than oxygen and
the hydrogen has to take ambient oxygen from
the pod to reform water". This creates the
vacuum.
"Non stochimetric" mean't non equal according to
George. He said on DISCHARGE this is ALWAYS NON equal and hydrogen ALWAYS
outproduces oxygen on discharge.
George did say they would have to be discharging
for awhile for this to occur and was susprised that anyone actually had a vacuum
form but
that this would account for it.
Also he said..."On CHARGING, the hydrocaps give off
more hydrogen than oxygen on the first part of the charge and on the final part
of the charge the hydrocaps give off more oxygen than hydrogen".
He also told me I don't need a forced vent air
system for use during recharging but that a simple open battery pod vent on
charging would be adequate to release the pressure from the hydrogen formation
during charging.
(I still might install one just for safety sake to
blow the hydrogen out quicker rather than let it seep out, couldn't
hurt.)
It had nothing to do with the oxygen bonding and
becoming a lead oxide to account for the oxygen loss.
So now we know why the vacuum forms in a
sealed battery pod using hydrocaps and understand just that much more about our
systems.
I Told ya I would bulldog it out Stan. I'm finished
with my bone now. Lol.
Kindest Regards,
Bill Akins.
