my new design in a nutshell is a simple staggered plate array (as is quite common) with a poistive and negetive bus along each side. With 10 cells we can expect 1.2v in each cell with a 12v power source
still nothing spectacular here but here's the cool part. on the west side there is an inlet pipe that goes through the center of all the plates. this pipe is connected to the pump. in between the plate each pipe section has 8 or 10 small holes drilled through to create a kind of sprinkler system. Then jets shoot out inbetween the plates pushing the bubbles away and at the same time filling the reactor with solution and mixing up the electrolyte. At the East side of the reactor there is a overflow pipe that dumps the constantly rising water into the bubbler. at the bottom of the bubbler a pipe pulls solution in through the pump to perpetuate the cycle.
The bubler therefore become not only a bubler but a reserve tank as well. Bubbles sticking to the plate is no longer a problem (hopefully) nor is electrolyte settling to the bottom of the reactor because of the constant flow provided by the jets.
Questions:
1. can anyone give me optimal plate dimentions for standard automobile current and voltage?
2. what are your thoughts on this design? If built correctly it could be a decent match to anything on the commercial market out there.
3. this design whas intended for brute force dissociation although "pulse" controllers are an easy addon. is a pulse controller nessicary for a unit such as this to be installed successfully on an automobile?
Requests:
If you use this design or take ideas from it please give credit where credit is due. Ive thought about this design for a long time and made many refinements to it.

Chris this site rules and your v6 electrolyzer is pro. as you can see I have adopted your "no weld" technique to work with this design. thanks.
