No explosive boiling. Acts just like the control.... Jones, how
did you microwave your charged water?
An eye-dropper of liquid in a shot glass - very simple. Water
boils but the treated water flashes violently in about half the
time it takes for the water to boil in the control.
In looking over the differences in the setups, the primary
difference is the net electrical input per unit of water - but
perhaps the large speaker magnet (ceramic from a 15" woofer) on
which the cell sits contributes to that; mine has much less water,
no plates, some electrolyte (NaCl), more current and a noticeable
vortex motion in the water caused by the interaction of electric
and magnetic fields. My latest cathode is a tube formed of nickel
wire woven mesh - lots of surface area but still few bubbles.
Here is a video of the closest approximation I can find on google
in the JC realm, but he is apparently using FAR more voltage than
is optimum for precharging (getting way too much bubbling) and has
placed the magnet in the water:

Try gradually adding electrolyte to get the current up about
ten-fold or more. I think your larger plate area is a benefit if
you can get more current through the liquid. I am surprised
conductivity didn't increase from the leaching - but maybe it is
not a conductive colloid - maybe oil from the manufacturing
process of the plates ?
Since my cell draws about 30 times more current per unit of water,
that is the primary difference.

Do you call your cell the Medusa ... or the Don_King special ??
