Operating Diagram Characteristics

1.- The electrodes separate the hydrogen from the oxygen in the lower tank by electrolysis. This is done by electrodes, which are platinum coated titanium grills, one connected to a positive pole in contact with the water in the lower tank, and the other connected to a negative pole in contact with the upper water, in the base of the jug.

2.- There is a membrane between both electrodes, which only allows hydrogen ions through, as they are much smaller than oxygen ions.

Hydrogen ions are hydrogen atoms without electrons, which gives them a positive electrical charge. These are attracted by the negative pole above the membrane, which causes them to cross through into the jug.

3.- Once the hydrogen ions are in the jug, they take the electrons from the negative pole, converting them into “active hydrogen” atoms.
