[I've experimented with] cells doing very
meticulous computer data acquisition systems that run
these cells for long periods of time, turning them off and
on in all kinds of conditions and parameters and all kinds
of adjustments that optimize the power output, and the
power density and trying to determine the economics and
cost effectiveness of various configurations,going into 1-
watt cells and 10-watt cells and 120 watt cells --we ran
for about a month and a half and then we moved onto this
cell with a thousand watt capacity. ...We have a thermal
unit and we've been studying that for about month anda
half now and we're ultimately going to produce this one kilowatt
heater for household use."
Further,Dr.Mills comments [1], "I was quite surprised at
how rapidly this scaled up and actually it was because we
had done all the groundwork. We had done about 500
experiments with this very accurate computerized data
acquisition system, where we had six of these
electrochemical power cells running simultaneously
around the clock and we just kept changing in and out all
sorts of things and just keeping it going, manning this
thing all the time, just keeping it [experimental progress]
going as rapidly as possible. And then once we
determined all these parameters it's very straight forward to
scale it up and I see no limitation to how much power you
can get out of this thing" [electrochemical power cell].
