It's simpler than that: Just have one side of the plate be the (+) for the cell on one side of it and the (-) for the cell on the other. You put a stack of plates in the water and only electrify the ones on the end. For 7 cells you'd have 8 plates and hot up the end ones while the ones in the middle float (electrically). By being equal sized and equal spaced they equally divide the voltage drop.

When I was looking up "brown's gas" on google I found one of his patents for a gas generator that worked that way. He had an assembly suspended completely immersed in water:

- a generally horizontal and rectangular insulating housing with:
- vertical plates as dividers and:
- A hole at the top of each "cell" to let the gas bubble out and:
- A hole in the bottom of each "cell" to let the water come in.
- The whole thing suspended in water (in an non-conductive container) with power wires connected to the end plates.

The whole thing sets up a potential gradient along the water and most of the current flows between the plates down the stack of cells rather than around them or in-and-out the holes. (You could extend the insulating housing or nearly close it over the end plates to minimize the current going end-to-end around the cell - and also minimize the galvanic corrosion of the wiring to the electrodes.)

I've also seen it done where the water is first boiled into steam from the radiator or a heat exchanger. Then it goes thru a long tube with a bunch of metal screens in it. Each screen is hooked up electrically. Apparently its way faster and less energy to crack steam into hho since its already partly cracked by heat.

well to make it even more effiecient this is what you do...

Plate-water-plate-water-plate-water-plate

Now its sealed at each plate so that the water can't move between each "cell."

Now this website has good information about creating a cell however it is a website that believes in "ou" power. and thats why I left and stopped going there.lol http://www.oupower.com/phpBB2/
They do get annoying for all their ou power crap. REAL ANNOYING.

Hopefully that helps... Plus many of their designs can be cheaper easier and more compact. And Effeciency can be better(with or with out "ou power".ha).

Good Luck
