The "BOYNTONPOT"
I have started using pot (New cell design I am working on)
All suggestions/comments welcome.
I am building a new cell using a 7" diameter x 4" high SS pot as the container.
(BTW 304 SS = 18-8 SS normally found in SS pots and flatware.)
I have collected several additional pots of smaller diameter and I am in the process of cutting 2.5" tall cylinders out of them.
The inner plate will be about 5" Dia x 2.5" high ~ 40 sq in.
It appears that the spacing between cylinders will be about 1/4".
My question is whether 1/4" with a high KOH % is equivalent to a tighter spacing?
Hopefully this pot won't boil!
Should heat become a problem, I have plans on how to cool it.
With 40 sq. in. as the minimum plate area, how many plates/wiring would you suggest for a single brute force cell?
Guesstimate the output using 25 Amp?
It is also possible to use a 2.5" wide strip of 304 and make cylinders of various sizes from it in order to make additional plates with tighter spacings.
I can visualize a method whereby no welding is required to make these cylinders. I would use a plastic spacer/connector to bring and hold the 2 edges together and against the adjacent cylinder.
