After a long time I have a working system. I used plates wound in a spirial and described here:

It looks like I am getting 10 to 20 percent increase in mpg. My 97 saab has a built in mpg meter and this helps a lot. I cleaned the plates by running them through the automatic dishwasher to get grease off them. I think any grease and oil, even fingerprints, will combine with KOH to form soap.

4 cells in series
PWM - 7 headlight bulbs with all filliments in parallel
current 20 amps at 14 volts
1 LPM output


I have a problem with dry cells as i think they have a built in short circuit. In my design the shortcoming is too large spacing between foils ( about 1/4 inch )
