So, mate, is it a case of power factor, the Boyce circuit utilzes a phase-shifting approach that masks the actual power being drawn from the grid?   I've heard of that, but not completely understood it.

Night shift rules- while the rats are away the turtles will play-

I work alone.

There won't be any field generated around the outside, only power applied to the end plates.

I also have a 61 plate of 3" x 3" 22 ga 304 assembled to test, but I need to seal up the bottom with a perf plate for e-lyte flow.   Hope to drive it with something Boyce as well.

Also, I'm gonna drive to meet Bob and take the cells with me to get his preferred driver.   But that won't be till I git everything assembled and tested on straight DC so's I have a baseline.

P E is focused on Meyer stuff and I'm building four con tube cells for him.  I'm also gonna spool up his torroids and VIC... that oughta be a challenge.

Pretty busy, and 60+ hours at work only heps the research budget, not time in the lab

I'm in the process of assembling a large cell with two rows of 61 plates, 6" x 7" 14 ga, but they're 304, not 316 SS.

Cross sanded one batch, but I think I'll polish the other set to compare.

ALready got the UHMW milled, but it bowed so I gotta relieve the back side.

This is heavy-duty stuff, with heavy duty turtlebucks spent so far.


It all takes lotsa time.
