Brian it can indeed work, but you will end up with lots of aluminum oxide, so its not practical. Stan said his voltage zones should duration be 10thousand years.. .
If you use it as the negative electrode and there is no electrolyte it could be useful i'm not sure but i think aluminum is attacked by acids and bases too.
As i explained in the other thread it will desorbs ions to achieve electrostatic equilibrium thus it is indeed a cell as free electrons will build up in the aluminum in contact with the water. but this is due to faradaic reactions, chemical interaction not physical.. . stan clearly stated no chemical interaction occur, i about ionizing and deionizing or stabilizing...
just some thoughts
I would like to point you to the right direction, although i don't know what it is... yet i'm almost sure what isn't.. I believe that the injector is a step further, not an initial step... I mean of course you will learn some working at it, however it requires more than good will to make things work.. I don't want to discourage you anyhow, but would like to ask you if you really think you can put it to work, before a resonant cavity cell?
I mean i know you work at this for a long time... me too but for me i could only get to design something if i at least have some confirmation of my parameters effects by previous experiments... I tried the other way... well i spent over many many thousand euros in that approach, and although i spent now yet more in my new perspectives, since i decided to study some more, i found that i learned much more and got much closer than before-
