I just uploaded 3 videos:

Three uniquely different cells, but all at the breeding stage.
I built the 3 cylinder cell after seeing the BNE video, sorta using it as a
model.
Both the three and four cylinder cells were built about 3 weeks ago. The
video is the second chargeing cycle for both cells. They were filled with
water that had been charged in my chargeing cell.
The five cylinder cell is my original "car" cell. It's the one shown in the
old http://www.avianacres.com/phenom.wmv video. I had just four cylinders
for many months, and I added the intermediate cylinder as an experiment
about 3 months ago. Doing so didn't appreciably change the bubble action.
But I think it might have made it more stable. The video above was the the
first chargeing cycle after it was completely disconnected from any power
for 2 weeks, so it seems to hold the charge well.
Having worked with these calls, I can't help but come to the conclusion that
it's not necessary to build highly elaborate car cells, if there is another
method available to prep the water. If I'm not mistaken, the BNE cell bears
this out, because I think that Joe provided the water for it. In fact, some
of the cells that Joe has demonstrated, seem to bear this out as well.
Now all we need is a good (and cheap) method of measuring the water charge.
