    If etching the surface creates more gas production, it's probably the surface area. Thanks very much for the help, I think I understand these devices much better now, and may build some electrolysis...

    I fully understand everything but the last bit and the conclusion that should be reached.

    Here's where I'm confused: Say you have 4 gaps with length 1 unit and resistance 2 ohms. Take out the...

    Ahhhhhhh, the reason I was so skeptical of the copper wrapping is because I had your terminals backwards in my head. I thought you were putting a copper wrapping around the positive terminal in the...

    I understand why you'd run a bunch of circuits in parallel to lower the current, or a large resistor or a bunch of resistors in series to lower voltage, but by adding in the neutral plates, you're...

    GND is ground, certainly. But in a DC circuit (which I think is what you're planning to use) ground has zero potential, unlike in an AC circuit where it is negative.

    Are you planning to run AC or...

    Aye, in a parallel circuit, voltage across each resistor is equal to the equivalent voltage.

    Running small series circuits inside of them causes the voltage across each resistor to drop, such that...

    There is no benefit to placing a copper layer inside the stainless steel, the additional path the current must flow through will only increase resistance. But you could make such a copper wire...

    Copper will oxidize to Copper(II) hydroxide at a...

    Copper will oxidize to Copper(II) hydroxide at a potential about .34V, so it is not recommended as an electrode material. I have observed this, and the blue scum is not pretty (and it quickly becomes...

    To me, I see an electrolysis apparatus like it's a circuit diagram, so solution is just a resistor. Anyway, something I'm still confused on is the whole reason for having bipolar plates. They seem...

    +, -, N circuit diagrams

    I'm terribly confused by things like this: "+NNNNN-NNNNN+NNNNN-"

    Attempting to draw that out, I get something like that looks like two series circuits in parallel. Is this correct? By my...

    Silver nitrate is an insulator, but is soluble in water, and therefore will form a conductive solution. It is also not as conductive as many other readily available electrolytes. Silver nitrate is...

    I am a newbie, but I think I can see what's going on here. You're feeding an almost perfectly stoichiometric mix down a line, past a check valve, and igniting it. If the flow velocity cannot overcome...

    Newbie Electrodes Questions

    I'm just starting to get into electrolysis, so if I seem a complete dunce, try to bear with me.

    If one must remove the chromium from the surface of a stainless steel plate to use it as an...
