The Joe Cell plans call for a 2 inch diameter cathode
surrounded by three concentric floating cylinders
3 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch, surrounded by the 6 inch diameter anode.
For water with Megohm-meter resistivity (rho) between the cylinders
the resistance R = rho*spacing/Area acts as a resistance-capacitance
divider allowing small current flow at 12 to 15 volts DC.
OTOH, the electric fields at the Metal-Water Interfaces
(about 0.7 Square Meters Area) with the 4 cells
dividing the voltage into electrolysis cells with about 3 volts
across each, approach over a Billion Volts/Meter (1.5 volts/nanometer is used for
high field emission of electrons)
which can allow Autoionization H3O+ or H+ Cations to pull electrons
from the metal cathode, or allow the metal anodes to pull electrons from
the water Autoionization OH - Anions.
This mechanism can allow copious production of O, OH, and O2 gases
at the anode surfaces and H and H2 gases at the cathodes of the four series
cells mixed with H2O vapor that can be drawn into the ICE cylinders
where compression-combustion occurs. It Burns Water. :-)
