i had been experimenting constantly with different plate setups and i have to say neutral plates really work well... ive seen much talk of whether or not to use them, and yes u should... as long as u have solid positive and negative connections at each end of ur neutrals, they will produce
upon first testing i was skeptical because when i plugged it up i was barely getting any bubbles at the neutrals and was only getting them at the ends and middle (+NN--NN+ X2)... after letting it run a bit (20 or so mins), temperature leveled out MUCH sooner than it did when i was running an alternating pos and neg all the way across (+-+-+-+-)... after testing i put it in my car with distilled water that i had in my fridge... even with water that made condensation collect on the outside of the generator, it still pumped out a solid .5 lpm, which at max temp should pump out about 1 lpm (guessing)
im running two packs of 8 plates (+NN--NN+) with 1/2 tsp lye in a gallon of distilled... mpg results will be posted soon along with pictures once i find my camera that has been misplaced... cheers
