24 plates configuration

[JonDoh]

until now.....
the most plates I've use in a cell was 8 plates configured +nn--nn+
Works flawlessly.... cool.... low amps..... but not a big producer.

so....... I just got hold of 24 plates & have no idea how to configure this.
I don't want to do +-+-+- etc b/c it pulls way too much current & gets too hot..... any successful suggestions from those who have experimented already.... I could possibly go up to 30 plates... please let me know....

If you are planning on running it in your car and using either KOH or NaOH then use a 21 plate configuration. +NNNN-NNNN+NNNN-NNNN+ This will give yo a 2.4 to 2.7 voltage drop across each cell.

I hate to say anything contrary to what u are saying, but with the testing i have done shows that its better to have more negative plates.

I would go -NNNN+NNNN-NNNN+NNNN-.

Please correct me if im wrong, but i get better production with more negatives.

Either way, I tried both and didn't notice any difference in production levels or cell efficiency . YMMV

Hmmmm???

Which plate produces the HHO gas?

+ or -?

Does the neutral produce anything but used as a barrier for current flow?

Since my current configuration is +nn--nn+

Would it work as +nn--nn++nn--nn++nn--nn+??

Or should I just make 3 seperate units?

The plates have tabs @ the ends so to make them neutral I have to cut the tabs.... I want to have it right the first time from the advice from experimenters that have tried whichever configuration.

The negative plate produces the hydrogen while the oxygen is produced by the positive plates.

I wonder about neutral plates, if they are used as a barrier to current flow then wouldn't they also cause voltage drop and should be calculated into the "number of plates equation"? So with 12 volts wouldn't you only use 6 plates, even with neutrals, such as +NNNN-?

Here my config suggestion:

"|" = non-conductive spacer plate.

+nnnnn-|+nnnnn-|+nnnnn-

So, then you will have (3) 6 cell units in one. Just be sure to wrap or seal the cell properly. Neutrals divide the voltage while closer gapping helps current.

If I were you, (and I have already done exactly this).........

I would set up three separate gens -NNNNN+ wired in paralell, but with separate breakers, and you should end up with an approximate 3 - 3.5 LPM (combined output) if your plates are anywhere near 12 sq in, per side (mine are 4.5 by 3, with pole plates slightly higher, for connections.)

I have 8 plates 2" X 6" and 7 of 1/4" (2" x 2")spacers, can anybody tell me if there is any video that can help me to do the connection of +, - and N ?
I need to know how to do the configuration of +NN-+NN-.
Tks

u would better to -NN++NN-
and N's arnt wired, just +'s -'s are.

and it would work better +NNNNN-
