Hey, total noob here..
Yeah, it's a Wet cell(I KNOW...:()
Anyways, the setup...:
http://home.comcast.net/~ogrex/setup.jpg
its running on 160dc~volts rectified 120v AC + 300v, 5800mfd capacitor..
plates like so:..
http://home.comcast.net/~ogrex/tape3.jpg
+ 22 neutrals - x 3 in series...
the plates are only 4"x11/16"...
KOH electrolyte.
The cells were are only producing on 3-4 plates on either side.
drawing around 4amp total cold,so I tried wrapping the plates in electrical tape...
http://home.comcast.net/~ogrex/tape.jpg
this dropped the amps to about 0.82..
it definitely increased efficiency..(I think?)
maybe 4-5 plates in each cell actually "producing"...
I think I'm just going to tear these apart... I was having Much more "luck" with just 6 plate cells running off of 12v computer PSU's......
Any Ideas/thoughts/opinions/flames/spam would be much welcomed.
I'm quite drunk atm, been wanting to post though... let me know if you need more data/#'s etc.. after I sleep this one off... lol?..
