O K so I started off with a W4G design, and I don't have enough money or knowledge at the moment to build a whole new generator, as everyone says W4G isn't a good design. SO reading about plates I saw neutral plates would drop amps, therefor decreasing heat. But the actual neutral plate is just a plate not hardwire to a source voltage right? So wouldn't a separate strand of wire on the electrode tower count as a neutral, assuming its not touching the other wires?
If that neutral wire was placed between your positive wire and negative wire such that the current traveled through it, then yes. However getting wire to line up perfectly is the problem. Any offset in the wire will allow for stray currents around it. A most impossible task.
i believe that there is no need to use a neutral wire because wires dont pull as many amps as plates. there is more info on the "SS wire or SS plate?" thread.
if you have extra wire just wire the cell + - + - + -
