I unfollowed your advice but improved a bit my approach, as you've suggested, improving the weakest point of the ss wool, which is the precise spacing.
What doy you thing about enclose the ss wool in ss mesh, with 0.246mm of inter-leave (for making the ss mesh porous) building a cushion stuffed with ss wool, and placing pvc mesh between cushions (see garden's pvc, or anti-rabitt meshes for trees)?
I mean, place the following on a stack, and wrap it building a cushion:
A.- PVC mesh, around 1mm clean space between squares, 0.2mm of thread thickness (this will be the "precise" gap between cushions)
B.- Stainless Steel Mesh, 0.246mm space between squares, 0.140mm of thread.
C.- Stainless steel wool, 0.03 thread, crafted using branded technology for avoiding cracking. Approximatelly 0,7KG of SS wool
Another B. (actually the other side of the wrapping)
Another A. (actually the other side of the wrapping)
As per my calculations, 6 of those cushions will produce same LPM as 40-plates dry cell, weighting significantly less (maybe I am running short on my calculations). Ok, ok... this is not a dry cell, this is a wet cell...
I assume there will be heat. I will fight it using heat shrinks, pumps, heat exchanger and radiator. That will keep the water on an acceptable temp. Maybe any circuit for activating the pumps by temperature threshold... but it's a tricky thing to deal with KOH...
