Parahydrogen  or "brown's gas" Generators

Through a process known as electrolysis, digests water into its basic elements: Hydrogen and Oxygen. These two elements exist in a diatomic state naturally, that is to say, each atom of Hydrogen or Oxygen must be paired off in order to maintain stability. So Oxygen atoms are always found in pairs (i.e.. O2), and Hydrogen atoms are also always found in pairs (H2). They are never found as single atoms.

Water = H2O = 2H2 + O2 (diatomic)

But keep them in the same chamber maintaining the same pressure under electrolysis:

Water = H2O = H + H + O (monatomic)

Normally the - cathode is a carbon rod and the + anode is a copper rod or plate, but the - cathode and the + anode can both the Graphite Rods or Stainless Steel rods. most use 3/8 to 1/2 threaded stainless steel rods sense they are easy to come by and you can use stainless steel nuts and washers to fasten them to the top of the electrolysis unit and fasten the DC + and - wires to them as well. you can also thread carbon rods and fasten them using stainless steel nuts and washers as well.

 The reaction chamber is filled with water and a catalyst like Lye Potassium Hydroxide, or sodium hydroxide is added to the water.
