If i have the +-+- configuration and let's say i put 20 plates in series ( 12 Volts ), it means that there will be 10 cells in series and the voltage of each cell will be 12/10 = 1.2 volts. Am i correct?
I'm gonna make a HHO generator for my class project. Your inputs will be much appreciated.
Not quite...
Remember that you measure voltage across each + and - so in your configuration of +-+-+-+- while you do have 7 cells, each one has 12v across it. It's the neutral or unconnected plates that give you the voltage drop.
+- = 1 cell 12v ... +-+-+-
+|- = 2 cells 6v ... +|-|+|-
+||- = 3 cells 4v ... +||-||+||-
+|||- = 4 cells 3v ... +|||-|||+|||-
+||||- = 5 cells 2.4v ... +||||-||||+||||-
+|||||- = 6 cells 2v ... +|||||-|||||+|||||-
Does this help you understand a little better?
