my 4 plate kettle ... made in 2002 and the controller in 2003 before i knew about the 2v water thing, so should work well of an old 5v mainframe 5v/100A computer power supply with only two of the plates wired ... will run warm off 12v/14v.

was always to scared to ignite its output, but have filled lots of balloons with it with 2 minute dynamite fuses and blown them up which is fun (i go to my friends farm ... he has a dynamite licence)

if i were to follow chris' thinking, i should build another 5 or 6 cells, and wire the 4 plates as two parallel pairs

the elctronics (my first successful electronics project) evolved after i tried replicating the "spirit ot ma'at" circuit diagrams which didn't work for me ... i made a mosfet version but the mosfets kept melting, so i had to go for the most indestructable mosfet (150A continuous) i could find ... so all a bit of a learning curve

my background; 13yrs schooling; 5 years university (law degree + 2/3 arts; mainly in social history), working part time in an autoelectricians (cleaner boy, rebuilding starters, generators, alternators) and in a speaker factory; then working full time as a technical assistant to a couple of firms of patent attorneys for 4 years, qualified as an attorney; 1988 stock market crashed caused career change to computer animation with an artist friend, specializing in 3D.cg tv commerials, now working for national television broadcaster looking after 30 computer artists

nearly there, but then i decided to change out the inner pvc core to one that had a flange on it at one end, so slide out those four plastic rods, and start again

prior to rolling, again, you can see the old core (right) and the one i replaced it with (left) this was necessary becuase the old core had too small an internal diameter, and it interfered with the brass fittings i used in the container which were about 20 - 25 mm in diameter

oblong rubber spacers are placed and each end of each plate, but the ones closest to the electrode posts (not shown here) are only half as wide
