Conditioning the hydrogen cell

I found this information, which is for a slightly different HHO cell structure (tubes), and requires a Stanley Meyer pulse unit... so I can probably not do this myself without having one of those gizmos.. (anyone has one)?

A very important part of the cell build is the conditioning of the electrode tubes, using tap water. This is done as follows:

1. Do not use any resistance on the negative side of the power supply when
conditioning the pipes.
2. Start at 0.5 Amps on the signal generator and
after 25 minutes, switch off for 30 minutes
3. Then apply 1.0 Amps for 20
minutes and then stop for 30 minutes.
4. Then apply 1.5 Amps for 15 minutes
and then stop for 20 minutes.
5. Then apply 2.0 Amps for 10 minutes and
afterwards stop for 20 minutes.
6. Go to 2.5 Amps for 5 minutes and stop for
15 minutes.
7. Go to 3.0 Amps for 120 to 150 seconds. You need to check if
the cell is getting hot...if it is you need to reduce the time.


After the seven steps above, let the cell stand for at least an hour before you start all over again.
You will see hardly any gas generation in the early stages of this conditioning process, but a lot of brown muck will be generated. Initially, change the water after every cycle, but do not touch the tubes with bare hands. If the ends of the tubes need to have muck cleaned off them, then use a brush but do not touch the electrodes!! If the brown muck is left in the water during the next cycle, it causes the water to heat up and you need to avoid this.
