You miss-undertood
I used 2 TV transformers to create about 50KV potential between water.
so the Positive of one transformer was on one insolated plate, and the negative of the other transformer was on the other isolated plate.
the other 2 wires were just floating, not connected to anything, and it ionized the Air, I could smell it.
I also connected these two flowing wires to ground, to each other, only one to ground, the other to ground, using chokes, bifilar chokes, smoked some chokes. everything I could think of.
I did countless tests with HV and isolated electrodes. Not even one tini bouble. So if some people claim breaking water using isolated plates/tube they either have leaking insolation or they lying.
By the way, why do you think my screen name is Electrojolt ?
