On a long shot this afternoon, I contacted the office of Dr. Robert Dopp, President of DoppStein Enterprises, holder of 40 something patents in the realm of ultra efficient electrolysis units. I got his secretary on the line, thank you google, and asked her if DoppStein Ent. had a standard website or resource that they referred individuals to who were asking about home electrolysis unit design. She actually went and got the president of the company on the line! He said I had lucked out cause he had just a couple of free minutes, and proceeded to talk to me for almost 10 minutes about the ins and outs of cell design and the greater issues of automotive application in general. He said that he, too, was skeptical about all of this business because no one had, as of yet, produced real figures or any kind of reputable peer-reviewed publication on the matter. He also said, however, that the lack of data hadn't deterred him from personally investing into the matter, because a lack of data only proved that no one has yet proved it. It doesn't disprove it, it just fails to prove it. When I commented that I was surprised he was taking the time to talk to me he said, "Well, clearly you've got me talking about something that I'm passionate about." He told me that he's currently working on the same project as I am right now, with automotive application, and asked me to keep him updated! What an honor, huh.
Well, that gives me a bit of hope. If any of you would like to check out his website, its here: DoppStein Enterprises.
I also talked to him about what sort of materials I was using, and he said, "There's no reason why 316 and 304 grade stainless steel should work as well as it does... but it does!" That's also comforting, since I just dropped $20 on a roll of it. :)
Well, I get the Rover back today in about an hour and a half. Hopefully it will start this time!
