AIM.

To get the plates in ‘ equilibrium ’ ( as Joe calls it ).

THEORY.

According to Joe, both sides of the neutrals have to be in equilibrium. To achieve this, he drives the negative to the positive and the positive to the negative. 

In the above, Joe’s use of the word drive indicates his observation of the bubbles and water formation as he manipulates the applied potential’s on the various cylinders, thus he is ‘ driving ’ them.

Comemnt.

A longer term means of observing these ‘ potential’s ’ on the plates is observing the build up ( or lack thereof ) of an oxide or ‘ colour ’ on the surface of the plates.

As mentioned in my manual, the cylinders should stay clean on a working cell. The danger of this statement is, that a shorted or incorrectly functioning cylinder will also display this characteristic.

However, by the observation of the resultant bubbles, water forms and of course the cell function, you will easily distinguish between good and bad cylinders.

METHOD.

1. Connect your negative to the inner, central tube.

2. Connect your positive to the first neutral ( next tube ).

3. Shift the positive from the first neutral to the second neutral.

4. Continue this process until your positive is now on the outer tube ( or container of the cell )

Notes.

A. Leave the potential on the tubes until you obtain the ‘ right ’ bubble production but no longer than 
    1 minute no matter what the outcome. If it does not ‘ work ’, look for problems elsewhere.

B. Clip your leads so that the negative connection is always in line , but as far apart as possible from 
     the positive connection. For example, clip the negative to one end of the one inch tube and the 
     positive to the diametrically opposite end of the two inch ( next ) tube.

C. You can swap and change the above sequence and polarities until you achieve the desired effect, 
     BUT always end up with the negative to the central tube and positive to the outer.

D. The ‘ right ’ bubble formation is unfortunately an observational skill that comes with a lot of 
     practice, and would be next to impossible to write in words.

For beginners, you will have to use the very crude method of igniting the bubbles to differentiate amongst the various gas types until you get the ‘ eye ’ to see.

REMARKS.

This note is required at this time, as there seems to be quite a fair bit of disinformation ( deliberate or otherwise ) circulation on the Web.

Please read my lips, hear and listen, no matter if you live on the North pole, South pole or anywhere in between, on completion of start up, you must leave the negative connection to the middle of the cell, ( the most inner tube ).

Now there seems to be many ‘ advisers ’ recommending negative to the outer tube ( case ), as they get pretty bubbles, vortex actions and similar. That is all great, BUT do they have a working cell? 

No, they do not, I can guarantee it, as you must have the negative to the central tube to do so.

I will give you a very short reason, so at least you will tend to believe me, but in reality you have free will and you can do what you like. I am merely an advisory sign, to be used as you see fit.

Electricity is always trying to destroy it’s dipole, it is constantly trying to eliminate the positive and negative potential differential. Magnetism on the contrary is forever trying to establish a North and South magnetic pole differential ( as far apart as possible ). This is an endless and balanced battle between electricity and magnetism that has been going on since the start of creation.

As a result of this ‘ battle ’, negative is a contractive energy and positive is an expanding energy. As we are trying to accumulate a force and thus create a ‘ frequency ’ with our cells, it is obvious ( to me at least ) that the contracting force should be inside and the expanding force on the outside. How else can you possibly draw anything in?

Reverse the potential’s and positive ( the expanding force ) in trapped in the middle of the cell by the contracting negative force. Not the way to go! No wonder that you have pretty signs of this battle. Similar to the sign ( smell ) that you get when you drive your car with your handbrake on. <g>
