i have been looking at diffrent designs and doing alot of reading.
I've been reading that we really do want a pretty low cell voltage(<2v) so i am trying to figure out what will get me that low?
my question would be if i were to make a cell like +NNNNN- it would lower the cell voltage pretty low and should have pretty good output if everything else is correct right? A lower cell voltage will also allow for less heat coming from the cell right?
as well if i were to use the above design with a larger N plate than the +and - plates would it really matter? or does there need to be more surface area on the + and _ plates than the N plates?
I'm just trying to get alittle more technical than the average +- cell design.
Using plates that are not connected to the power will help decrease voltage accross the cell. It will decrease production a little, but not a geat deal. It will also reduce amp draw and heat generation. If you really want to get the most bang for the buck, seal the edges of the plates on the sides. It will reduce leakage. Basically if forces the current to go through the plate rather than around it.
