Why 6 inch plates? We are talking 120 volts here. We are
going to need an AC power source and convert it to DC power; rectify it.
Lets go easy on our utility bill for now. Also keep in mind, our power
source may be coming from an Inverter that is powered by a 12 or 24 volt
system. 6 inch plates have enough surface area to handle up to 18 Amps
without creating excess heat. Safely put this puppy on a 20 amp circuit
breakers. It is the number of plates that increases our HHO production,
not the size of them. Size more or less regulates the heat via the
amperage (current density restriction).
My calculations show that 1 amp will draw 120 watts from
our power source, and it will produce 637 ML or 0.637 LPM. That equates
to 10.61 ML of HHO per water cell, per amp. Not bad. How
close are my calculations?

What could this monster be used for?
If you want to make even more LPM, then increase the
size of the plates. 8x8 plates will allow up to 32 amps. That can make
20+ LPM, at 3840 Watts. Use my Cell Configurator for a better
understanding.
