the center tube must be connected to somewhere probably to the amp inhibiting coil

the spacing gap is not exactly the same for each of the tubes but would be for flat plates

But what intriguing me is whats the benefit of a ground plane there in the middle?

should it be a perfurated plate to allow ions contact?

Yea see that's why I question it cuz Stan used only 2 tubes and he has the water labeled as "ground". So if you ground the center-tap and connect the +12V lead and -12V lead to the tubes, the cell doesn't see the voltage as being +12V and -12V....it just see's it as being +24v. I'm going to build a small +12v and -12v power supply and connect it to the two tubes and measure the current and voltage.

Here is a example of a dual voltage source being applied to capacitor and resistors in parallel which resemble a fuel cell, that are 2 sets in series (2 fuel cells in series) . Between the 2 sets in series acts as a common giving me a negative and positive voltage reading from two probe points.

This is what I mean by what the cell would see.

Here is a example that looks more like what Stan's picture pf output for the crossover vic.. The circuit is not the same, Im sending a AC wave into the primary of the center tapped transformer. In the simulator there isn't a way to simulate a fuel cell with 3 tubes.. More or less a 3 tube cell is similar to the idea of 2 capacitors in series..

This example is nothing more than a dual voltage supply transformer that does not have big enough capacitor values to filter the output properly... If you increase the caps to 1000uf you will see the output turns into smooth steady dc voltage..

Yeah but what I'm talking about is the cell having only 2 tubes/plates and not ground connection in the cell. The only connections would be the +v and -v to the two tubes/plates.

The only reason why I have a ground connection in the cell for this set up is because the simulator will not recognize that point as the reference point for its scope readings.. technically that ground symbol would not be there in the real circuit.. and it doesn't effect this circuit in any bad way for the example..
