[Vo]:Mesh electrode cells and light

[Horace Heffner]

There would be an unusual amount of recombination in a mesh cell with  
positive electrolyte on one side and negative electrolyte on the  
other side of the mesh.  The area of comparatively sheltered neutral  
potential within the mesh would support large ion conductivity in  
opposed directions, cations one way anions the other, due to  
concentration gradients, and thus large amounts of recombination  
would occur of the form:

   H3O+ + OH- -> 2 H2O
within the mesh.  I think this should give the vicinity a visible  
blue-white glow.

Best regards,
