It seems to me that if you build plates that are an exact fit of the container, you would minimize stray currents that flow around the plates. My understanding is, this would be good.
I am thinking of something the size of a regular car battery, with plates arranged that fit the square dimensions exactly. You can't make the plates water tight so electrolyte will still equalize among the plates. Having this design means stray currents are minimized.
Kindda like the Bob Boyce electrolyzer design except that each cell would not be totally independent. The electrolyte is still shared.
Why aren't people building something like this? Am I missing something here?
