Hey Herby
I went ahead and drilled the 1/8th holes at the bottom of my plates. I have a punch but nothing that can handle 16 G SS.
I was thinking of somthing and I would like your feed back on it. I was thinking that instead of putting holes on the top of each plate for gas escape why not just bore a small notch (maybe 1/2 or 3/4 on the top of the acrylic. It seems like that would allow for more plate area and electrolyte, also the slosh factor would be much less. I know that by doing that the unit would no longer be self contained and air tight but do you think that is a way to bring the amps and gas production a bit. By my calculations if you count each side of each plate you would gain about 36 Sq inches if plate space that you didnt have before. 3/8in x3inx18x 2.
Worth trying?
