"N" Plates?

[Carolinablue]

To all Neutral Plate users:

Build a 3 plate cell in an otherwise wmpty and dry glass aquarium.

A Positive, a "Neutral", and a Negative.

Place 200 Volts between the Positive and the Negative.

Would you hold the "Neutral" in one hand and either the Positive or the Negative in your other hand?

I would not hesitate to do it.

Add electrolyte until you get 10 Amps flowing.

Would you repeat the above?

If not, why would you be afraid of holding a truly Neutral plate?

Would you touch the glass side of the aquarium?

Glass is a neutral non-conducting insulator and it is therefore safe.


No Neutral plates exist in a conducting electrolyte.

Stu I'd say you answered your own quarrel here. In building a gen. be it dry or wet there is no electrolyte during the building just the plates with the + and - leads and your neutral plates and the N plates are discussed only in design aspect. So +N- plates is a very well put description.

Terrific!

You will not have to hold your breath long before another person again asks, "What is a Neutral plate and what does it do?"

hey stu... what's a neutral plate?

Go ahead and change the name. Now we have to explain the purpose to both novice and experienced members what a "U", "B", "D", "N" plate is.

Let's add "M" for "mildly producing HHO" then we can call them, collectively, "DUMB" plates.

Mildly?

The Unconnected plates produce exactly the same as the connected plates.

No one gives a ****!! Drop it already!!

i agree... Thank You.. (and yet we keep reading it )

Compare this in a wet cell to a dry cell:

In a dry cell, they produce just as much.

In a wet cell, production on the N's (when the cell is unwrapped) is visually less.

I do believe you're taking this discussion too seriously, my friend.

Science is neither serious or humorous.

Science is measuring what is.


Science is independent of personality.

Have you measured the "N" plate production of a unwrapped wet cell with the Plumabob configuration?

A comparison would be nice.

Your friend,

P.S. The seal is working!

My first wet cell experiments used the plumabob style, I also used 10 gauge wire to connect each neutral pair, rather than relying on the electrolyte to conduct over the inch of space. N production in this setup was almost on par with the charged plates.

Check out my early youtube videos, you can see this setup in operation.
