Exactly, Pete. This sort of current limiter is a standard application of voltage regulator chips. You'll find a circuit for it in just about every data book listing. We all worry about voltage, but the real actor in this process is the flow of current. We will need to do some pretty detailed studies of the behavior of the system in terms of particle size and production rates vs. electrode geometries and current density. Then we'll know what kind of circuit or setup will work the best. Even if we end up re-inventing the wheel and discover that the "best" arrangement is already the most popular, the whole process will be out in the open and documented on the web for everyone to see. That will be a good thing. Be well, Mike D.
