A '''Joe-Cell''' is an electrically powered electrolysis cell which transforms water to hydrogen for energy production. It allegedly reaches a physically impossible degree of efficiency. Joe-Cells play a role in the [[Free Energy]] and [[Water-fuelled car]] scene. The construction plans are said to be the work of an unknown inventor, whose first name was "Joe".

A '''Joe-Cell''' is a device which, with the help of electrical energy, produces hydrogen from water through electrolysis and allegedly achieves physically impossible degrees of efficiency. Joe-Cells play a role in the [[Free Energy]] and [[water-fuelled car]] scene. Construction plans are said to go back to an unknown inventor of whom we just know his first name, Joe.

Comparing Internet sources shows that there is no singular, unique description of the Joe-Cell, but various authors offer their own interpretation of the device. It is notable that the alleged physical mechanism, how the device is supposed to work, is described differently. The usual explanation is of [[Esotericism|esoteric]] nature.

Looking over internet sources reveals there is no consistent, standardized description of the Joe-Cell, but various authors contend their own interpretations of the device. In particular the alleged mode of action is described differently. Generally, explanations appear rather esoteric.

Various plans, drawings and even construction sets can be found in the Internet, but now Joe-Cell is known whose capacity goes beyond those of normal electrolysis cells. There is no evidence in particular for the assertions of the supporters that a Joe-Cell has a higher degree of efficiency  or can be powered with nothing more than water (see [[Water-fuelled car]]). Such a device would be a [[Perpetual Motion]] device.

Although various step-by-step instructions, plans, and even construction sets are circulated in the internet, no Joe-Cell is known featuring characteristics exceeding those of conventional, commercially available electrolysis devices. In particular there is no evidence that – in contrast to claims of supporters – engines may be operated at an increased degree of efficiency with a Joe-Cell, or even simply with water (see [[water-fuelled car]]), thus representing a [[Perpetual Motion|perpetual motion]] device.

A flourishing trade with Joe-Cell construction kits is possible among the [[Free Energie]] and [[Perpetual Motion]] device believers.

Joe-Cell construction kits are well suited as products allowing a flourishing trade among supporters of Free Energy who persist in notions of functioning perpetual motion devices.

A typical Joe-Cell consist of several concentric stainless steel pipes which er filled with water. Various different properties of the water are given depending on source. The length, diameter, number and ratio of the diameters are said to be important to guarantee correct operation. Usually 4 cylinders are used, which are also called stages. The pipes are connected with a cable to supply voltage, usually a direct-current voltage like a car battery.

Joe-Cells typically consist of several steel pipes arranged concentrically in a water quench. Details given regarding the consistency of the water vary. Length, diameter, as well as the relation of diameters of the individual pipes are said to be crucial for proper functioning. Usually there will be four concentric pipes in a Joe-Cell, also called stages. The pipes are connected to the supply voltage with a connecting cable; generally supply voltage will be a DC voltage source of 12 Volts (e.g. a car battery).

Various derivates of the usual construction plans exist, e.g. a so called "Moe-Joe-Cell" and a sperical device with onion skin "pipes".

There are modifications and derivatives of the most widespread assembly plan, so e.g. a „Moe-Joe-Cell“, and there are further onion skin and spheric versions known.

==Pseudoscientific and absurd claims about the phsyical mechanism==

==Pseudoscientific and absurd claims regarding the functional principle==

Several hypothesis about the physics behind the device are given. The cell is said to be able to power engines with unspecified "regulatory powers" or through implosion (instead of exploding gases as in regular combustion). Among those who believe in Orgone energy, the Joe Cell is believed to be an Orgone Accumulator. A further claim is that an engine powered with a Joe-Cell does not heat up and is allegedly more powerful than the same motor powered with regular energy.

Some strange hypotheses about the functional principle are circulated. The cell is said to be able to run engines with unspecified "regulatory powers" or through implosion (instead of explosively expanding gasses as in a regular combustion engine). There are also claims a Joe-Cell was something like an orgon accumulator, and that a combustion engine powered with a Joe-Cell will not heat up, although the motor capacity is said to exceed that of conventional fuels.
