+- +- +- +- +- . Now heres some great news at idle it's pulling 18 amps after an hour of driving and producing 1.2LPM. I imagine it would be more at higher rpm's. So it's official this more then doubles what my original
+NNN-NNN+ plate setup was producing at a much lower amp draw. You do have to add a little more Sodium Hydroxide but it runs a lot cooler. Now if I can just get the computer to behave I should see a nice mileage increase.
This is very strange, my original design was a +-+-+- set up, I switched to the +NN-NN+ because it ran much cooler with lower amp draw. I admit it doesnt produce as much, but it can run allday at 9 to 12 amps and produce 1lpm. Of course the design is larger and uses two cells run in series. My current design in my truck is 4 cells set up as +--+ with no nuetrals. It produces good, but gets hot very quickly.
