cant say ive ever seen one quite like that before.

Helz, I believe I know the kind he's talking about. If I'm not mistaking (imagine that), it's the old style where you take 2 sheets & roll them up together with nylon spacers (zip ties) in between. There are no neutrals, just 2 large powered plates in a single cell. As you can imagine, the draw is outrageous & most of the output is steam.

yea, thats it up there in the pictures. He emailed that to me to upload for him. so yea youre right about what it is only instead of the zip ties he used the nylon bolts, i bet it has a high output of gas but highly inefficient and can boil very easy.

Yeah, you posted the pic. the same time I was adding my 2 cents. As soon as I posted, the picture came up! How bizzare! Does that mean that we're starting to think alike????

I spent a lot of time with flat plates and this is far better. I still have to check it for heat produced. It seems to need very little NaOH ( less than 1/2 teaspoon for 3 quarts distilled water)

thats because there no nuetral plates to give it the resistance it needs to reduce the volts being fed to it. its just anode next to cathode. you could get HHO bubbles from a table spoon of any e-lyte in 2 gallons of water with it setup like that. basicly what you have there is one cell thats what? 7" x 20" ? just coiled up.
you have 12 vdc in one cell. its ideal to have 2 vdc for one cell.
In order to make that type cell efficient you would have to give it 2vdc and mix as much e-lyte as you can in the water to get the amps as high as you can.

You might be right but we will see. In any case thanks for posting the picture.
