well after thinking building and rethinking it and rebuilding it like five times (everytime i settled on something i read something better here) i give you my first offering, its an eleven plate set up +nnnn-nnnn+ plates are 304 .060 thick roughly 2.5" x 6" spaced with .060 washers, 5/16 nylon hardware holds it together and the washers were cut in a shim maker so there OD is only 1/2" (stock they were almost an inch and seemed to take up to much plate space)
K now for the "tar".... its actually not tar but liquid electrical tape (home depot " $6) its a little tricky to work with cause it wants to glob up, and you need to realize its not gonna go on like a paint but several think coats being dabbed on seems to be the way to go, I set out to build a rock soild setup with a goal of 1 to 1.5 lpm, while im not too worried about amps keeping heat down is a big deal to me, this lead me to thinking about all that stray current just running off the edges, after thinking of ways to keep this from happening i came up with this and while its not the prettiest cell, Im betting most of the current will be forced through the plates which is a main reason i went with four neturals, after I have it set up and i can check voltage I might even add a fifth.I plan to run it in a seal plastic "pasta" canister in a completely flooded system, with electrolyte coming into the canister through a barb fitting on the bottom and leaving the top of the can through a hose running to a reservoir where the gas can be captured and the water will leave to run through a large SS 3" pipe with capped ends to be cooled then through a fuel pump and back to the canister. k well i welcome your questions and remember I still havent even hooked it up yet so I dont know about output, if you got a guess Id love to hear it. and please be easy on me its my first attempt lol,
