Most of you know that I put together a cell with a slightly unorthodox design. The electrodes are not parallel to each other, instead they radiate out from the center of the cell like spokes on a wheel. This has led to some curiosity about the production distribution of the cell, mainly whether the electrodes produce at the center more than the outer edges. I finally got the cell (well, half of it anyway,) into a clear container so I could see the actual production and get pics of how it was distributed. I was surprised by what I found.

The only container I could easily come up with was a two-liter soda bottle with the top cut off of it. It only had the capacity to hold the bottom half of my cell, so during these tests I cut the current flow down to a little over half what I've been running. These shots are taken at 12.5V and 10-12A.

This is a shot of the cell approx. 2 seconds after startup.



This is a closeup of the cell from a low angle, it shows how the production is surprisingly even all the way to the outer edges of the electrode plates.



This is a shot after about 30 seconds of run-time. I just threw it in for illustration.
