I guess that by increasing the distance between the plates that are actually in use, the resistance in the water increases since the electrons would have to travel further or something like that. If that is the case, then why is a plate needed at all? To slow down the flow of electrons even more?

I'm going to go with a +-+-... design until someone can explain why using neutral plates would increase production. If it gets too hot I suppose the best solution might be to cool it in some clever way.
When using neutral plates, each neutral plate drops inducted voltage, by 2 volts.

Without using neutrals, you are inputting 14 volts (approximate alternator output), and 12 volts is exiting the negative. Any voltage over 2 (per plate) is wasted, for HHO production, and only goes to increase heat, in the generator......

However, using a set up such as +NNNNN- (dropping 2 volts at each negative plate), you voltage drops like this...........

14 12 10 8 6 4 2 with 14 volts representing the positive input, and 2 representing the negative (volts out)!

You could also double the set up as: +NNNNN-NNNNN+, and get the same electrical drop from cell to cell, but double the HHO output.

Or, even run multiple generators in parallel, set up as shown above with the 13 plate design.

And, note to Brunet, you should be measuring your calalyst as level teaspoons - Not tablespoons.
