I seen where you stated that you still got high voltage across the cell without the chokes, But you didn't say what type of water you was using. Distilled water allows high voltages.
Do you get high voltages across the cell when the cell contains TAP water? Is your tap water cleaner than the normal?
Try the step up without the chokes on "Tap water" and report back, Then try the same with chokes.
I stated for yall to use the chokes on Tap water, or a "conductive" water load, And with HV light in parallel. The lite should light proving high voltage across conductive water. If you remove My choke, The light should Not light.
Leave the conductive water, and the lite in parallell and then try your own chokes to see if they are worthy, I doubt most of the chokes you have will work.
GET THE BULB TO LIGHT IN PARALLEL WITH THE FUEL CELL CONTAING A CONDUCTIVE TYPE WATER. HOW MANY CHOKES DO YOU HAVE THAT WILL ALLOW THIS?
Of course, voltage will go high on distilled water, "its not very conductive."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Gas Production is not important, You're looking at the voltage across the Conductive Tap water. How much voltage can you put across the tap water? And,,,,
Can you Do it without the use of my choke? Meaning Try your own chokes with the lite in parallel to see if its what you thought.
Again, Leave the Distilled water alone until you're on the right track, distilled or clean is confusing you.
