It is critical to make sure every plate is exactly the same. Things are a lot different when using nickle plates or a combination of nickle and stainless. Testing is on going in this area.
All of this changes the formula as far as optimum resistance per square inch. Each reactor is different and one most be able to tune it by controlling the electrolyte as I am not a PWM person. Measuring temperature accurately and production is critical to find the sweet spot. There is a definite sweet spot which can be found with some effort. The whole object for me is to get the amps down and the production up with a gas that works with the cars ECU without the use of electronics. It is a challenge but has been done just needs simplifying so it can be duplicated easily every time and under different conditions. Some cars are more of a challenge than others and results vary.
