production at neutrals

[sm0kin]

should i have production off my neutral plates -NNN+NNN-. from the looks of it while running i only get production off the negatives and positives. also i get production from the outside of my negatives. i was under the impression production takes place in between plates. I am testing the cell at 8volts and 5.5 amps

Even at that low input, yet you should, AS LONG as you have the curcuit built correctly. I suspect you don't have a charge at the N plates.


It should go - (NW)N(SSW)N(NW)N(SSW)+(SSW)N(NW)N(SSW)N(NW)-

NW= Nylon Washer
SSW = Stainless Steel Washer

i cut 1/4" hose into 1/8" pieces and used thos for spacers. no ss washers tho. i have
-(spacer)N(spacer)N(spacer)N(spacer)+(spacer)N(spac er)N(spacer)N(spacer)-

How is it a neutral plate if there is a charge at it????

This isn't continuity between the plates seperate by the nylon washers..... it's not a direct charge. It's not as if 12V DC is being applied to the electrode. There isn't an individual power lead running to it, it runs in series to complete the primary circuit.

the way i understand it. the electrolyte is like a resisitor being in series between the plates. so each plate will show voltage and current.
