Use 2" Diameter tubing 24" in length. The plates will be 1-1/2" x 20" long. (30 sq. in.)
(Everyone says that plates should be short top to bottom)
For contact and for support, tabs out the bottom and bent 90 degrees.
SS screws and seal washers through the bottom of the tube.
Now, here's a possibility; A T on each end of the tube.
A short clear hose connected to a SS tube with cooling fins attached locate below the main
cell tube.
Gas out of one T, blowout on the other T.
The cooling tube may be any length that will fit the vehicle.
No pump, just the thermal siphon effect
This idea is 90* from convention but I can see some real advantages.
It takes advantage of length to grow the plate area.
Also, taking the contacts out the bottom, shortens the connecting straps to almost zero and at the same time give support to the plates.
BTW the 2" tubing was chosen as the cheapest and easiest to find room for.
Suggestions?
