Morning Ed,
I found the original message. It was WAY back up the line.
It did not qualify the question in any way, shape, form or fashion.

I feel that the available current will be divided and may not have an
effective flow since added electrodes would consist of a parallel circuit.
It would be rare that any circuit loads a voltage source to the maximum
current available. Very poor design if it does.
With a constant current device, your statement might be true,
Actually the original statement or question should have had more
qualification. Possibly it did.
With simple generators, ( no regulators ) your statement would not be
correct. No wonder many get confused.
More voltage would have to be used to have the same current available at
each anode. This is my limited opinion. Ed.
More or higher voltage will produce higher current in any case.
You may be confusing current capacity of the supply with voltage.
Depending on the current capacity of the voltage source, multiple
electrodes can be used. 3, 10, 50, or 99 if the mechanics are suitable.
I think, in Terry's system, he uses one supply and multiple electrodes, and
multiple containers. I feel sure his power supply will work with more
containers if he ever wanted to do so.
Of course without a basic understanding or Ohms Law, all this is Greek and
meaningless anyway.
As I have said before, people try to understand things without the proper
background, become confused, get a headache, make mistakes, and think some
of us are crazy that do understand it.
12 volts DC will make CS. I have a regulated switching power supply that
will deliver 100 AMPS. Care to guess how many electrodes and containers
that would power simultaneously ?
If anyone is going to try to understand Voltage and Current, take a few
minutes, a few hours or a few days ( or whatever it takes ) and understand
Ohms Law or else forget trying to understand it, make changes, modify
circuits, including CS generators.
Doing otherwise cold be hazardous to your health.
Due to a house fire nearby, I put together a short article on electrical
safety.
It should benefit some people. Take a look. It is not too technical and
some of it should be understood by most.
