I used stainless rod and washers stacked with plastic in between for Maximum surface area. That went into a cylinder of stainless. This assembly also had plastic spacers so it couldn't ground itself to the central rod/washers.

This whole thing went into a 3" pvc pipe with a cap glued on the bottom and a female thread fitting on top. The "generator" was connected to the male thread cap, and my electrical connections and gas out came thru the cap. I used a pcv valve as a check valve on the gas out.
It held about 1.5 liters of electrolyte I didn't take pictures (pre smart phone). I did notice a small improvement, but I didn't have an mpguino back then either, so it could have been a placebo effect

Thanks,
Victor
