With 16 plates you can probably use 20 volts. Do you have a wall-wart near that level? Some of the HP large block transformers that they used to sell with their printers are 24 volts ... What about using two wall-warts in series? you have so many free wires you could use the plates one and sixteen (like now) and the attach the second leads to plates 5 and 11, or some such series arrangement.
Okay. I have a hefty 24 V xfmr and two twelve volt batteries. I'll finish out the week with the present config and put the sample in storage. (Masonic jar? <eg>) For sample two, I'll kick it up a notch to 24V with distilled water. I've found a volunteer to test the final hydrobooster in one of his fleet vehicles which gets 17.1 mpg. He said if I can get a 30% boost in his mileage, I can do all his fleet for $600 each. His drivers go 30,000 mi/yr. His fuel cost is $5200 per vehicle per year; so, his savings would be $1,560 per year. I figure my material cost would be around $100 per unit. All the parts (and day labor) are available at Home Despot. :-) Terry "You want franchises with that?"
