    or double

    -UUUUU+UUUUU-
    -HHHHH+HHHHH-

    anyone know what the minimum large spacing is between neutrals?
    I know the small spacing is around 2mm. smith is using 1" on the large space, but would 1/2" work just as well?
    I put together a Plumabob/Smith setup. Mine are in the trunk(room no issue) it produces better and cooler than any other setup I have tried(7 different gens so far).The only other gen that out produced it was my tero.

    So far I've tried these configs:
    1) +-
    2) +n-
    3) +nn-
    4) +nnn-
    5) +nnnn-
    6) +nnnnn-
    7) +nnnnnn-
    8) +-+-+-+-
    These nxt configs I also switched polarities
    9) +n-n+n-n+ switch -n+n-n+n-
    10) +nn-nn+
    12) +nn--nn+
    13) +nnnn--nnnn+
    14) +nnnnn-nnnnn+
    15) +nnnnn--nnnnn+
    16) +nn- -nn+ +nn- -nn+

    I use the same electrolyte & 13.5v power supply....

    So far the best has been #12

    I just built #16 last nite & we'll see how that works out today.
    Oh... there's a 1/4" spacers in between the cells that why theres a space between.
    I'm running the #15 configuration. Good results once wraped. W/O wrap temps got too high too fast.

    i havnt done any wraping myself yet, but some are using black electrical tape, some liquid black electrical tape, some are using and inertube for a tire, theres probly more.

    the idea is so the current doesnt jump to far away from the plates.
    and that way u get good power strait to the neutral plates

    i think im lost, again, what is the wrapping for? if its for heat, why not just use exhaust wrap off of summitracing.com, its pretty cheap there, and can lower the temps under the hood a good amount if you finish up the headers

    ^^^^^Hmmmm???? That's an idea homeless!! I'm going right by the Summit Store in McDonough, GA. today..... maybe I'll pick-up that muffler wrap & try it out.

    Bossman don't live far f/ there I'll try his config #15 wrapped. I ain't good @ rapping but I'll give it a shot.... hahahaha

    also include KOH concentration.
    Yea... it would be... gotta get a flowmeter & a more precise Amp meter then I'll bust thru those configs again & record the results.
