How to run brute force cells.
If you choose to go parallel in a bath system, it's best to divide the voltage before the cell. That way you can use as much plate surface as possible. I found that using two 1 ohm 225w resistors in parallel before the cell drops the voltage to about 3 volts at the cell and locks the current at approx 20 amps. It's current that makes the gas, and the cell sees it all. The resistor network can be used as a heater for the cell if mounted correctly. My latest cell has 21 2x6 plates (+-+-+-etc) in a 4" pvc case mounted horizontally for better flow. With this basic and cheap set-up, I have NEVER had an over heating problem. Actually it's just the opposite, especially during the winter months. At three volts I can run for hours and hours and barely hit the 115Deg mark. This is a simple option over the series dry cells. It's good to have options, eh.
