Graphite Plates?

[djerickd]

Anyone experimented with Graphite plates? A local craigslist ad promises benefits:

Here's a source that's way cheaper. You'll have to attach your own leads. but it's worth $90 difference in price.

I received my graphite plates Sat. and drilled them out today. What an easy material to work with.

Ther is a new forum that has started up. I believe it is going to be a major source for Graphite plate generators. I will be posting my info there. There has been some post here about graphite and it seems to be shunned the people here

Here is the link:

I have posted some good info I have grathered from other people there already.

You can get Graphite Rods by taking apart a used Lantern Battery. 4 or 8 cells. Do not snip the wires already attached to the graphite rods. They can be used for connectors instead of having to figure out ways to connect electricity to them.

What size plates, what thickness, how many, and what is the cell configuration?

What size plates, what thickness, how many, and what is the cell configuration?

I got 6 plates, they are .250"x4"x6" and the config will be +-+-+-.
I'll be using a PWM (modulating the plates at about 28khz)
and a EFIE along with Vacuum.

I'm baseing all this information on the works of a person that has been
using Graphite plates for over 3 years.

I get real uneasy with ads that have numerous misspellings, as the graphite gen listing on craigslist has. The technical aspects are omitted, also.

I'll stay on the sidelines on the graphite issue until I see some concrete successes.
