i also have being thought a lot about building one!
however i also think that maybe stan didn't used one... but after seeing those sparks i wanted to give a shot too... that why i had those ideals of what to do with it..
i'm working on multistage lc vector generator and on spiral too....
i guess the idea is if voltage perform work how does it accomplish it and where!
i was thinking can you think a way to get around those 1,23v of the cell to make electrolysis?
i was thinking about inverting the vectors with a couple of sandwich cells to see if could cancel this electrostatic minima...
you may know that the main problem on electrolysis is this build up of charge, in the end it is a capacitor...
