Stainless mesh idea

[jdcmusicman]

Take D3's word for it Mesh is not a very good idea, I tried SS screen way back when I first started playing with HHO and it sucked ...here a list of things i tried that sucks for production of hho ..
Screen sucks really bad
Tubes alright but still sucks
Wire sucks really bad
Switch plate covers(wet cell),were alright but not great ..
Switch plate covers (dry cell) was better but still not great ..
The most efficient cell I have ever built is the Dry cell  with 6"x6" plates ..or 8"x8" plates

Just my 2 cents  on stuff I have  tried

for efficientcy i am sure that per cm2 mesh would suck as the active surface area would be less... you would only use the mesh if you were looking at using porus style electrodes...

OK, I see that everyone is thinking of just one layer of screen for each pos or neg "plate"- I used several layers of screen folded over itself for each "plate", as the goal was to create more effective generating area for a given amount of space. I sat down and did the math based on wire circumference x total length in the X and Y direction x 19 (strands per inch). It worked out to be significantly more surface area than solid plate of the same overall size

More surface area is great , but the more holes the more current leakage there is and therefore less electrical efficiency.The more holes the more heat is created..I'm just saying electrically its not efficient...

  OK, I'm feeling a little bewildered here- current leakage from where to where? Sorry- I know I hate explaining myself to others that just don't seem to get it, probably because I'm not a fast typist...
