It was (is) just a standard analog hour meter using line voltage. Run in series with your power supply line side. The one I use came off an old compressor control panel that I demo'ed a while back. I set it up so that when I switched on the power supply it would engauge a relay and begin...

Having the cover on my set up helped ,also I used magnet wire (26 ga.) you might try shrink tube also. On the end of the electrode where the wire attaches I used hot glue and shrink tube for some protection and tried routing the wires up and away from any obvious problems. At about the halfway...

PH Meters... Glad to hear that it produced for you! Please let me know how your devices turn out. In my case I was able to achieve some spectacular results. One problem was getting the Al processed to a fine enough mesh. If it is not you end up with a fountain instead of a "BANG". BE CAREFUL...

Dry skin you are correct, dry skin is the Electricians buddy, and the chances of taking on the full 1800 W load is unlikely at 120v. What about 277v or worse yet 480v? I know from experience that 277v will grab you (or rather you will grab it) and the only way I got loose was by falling off a...

Time,Duration,and Path are the determining factors. More people are damaged?injured? killed! by 120v 15a than any other combination's of Volts and Amps.

Amps Try varying the distance between or or one block deeper than the other that is one way to adjust I,.through the resistance of the cell it self. You may also want to try a piece of stainless steel wire or ? for your Cathode. Did you look for the 5v/25A through the pin connector? the case it...

Saturation... I believe that in order to achieve the correct saturation the solution needs to be brought to a boil and the NaCl added until no more will disolve into it. Once that is achieved you would obtain the required amount. How did you come out as far as electrodes are concerened?? I...

Great! The I(Amps) should change once you get it into a saturated solution of NaCl,And the proper electrodes attached.I'm going to try and attach a pic of what I have gathered together.Well, I have to shrink the file size before I can upload it. Once I figure that out I'll send it along.

Electrodes... No, the one's in that link are not the correct type. The Electrodes I used are used for carbon-arc welding, appx. 3/8 or 1/2" Dia. 16" Long, they are carbon rods that have a copper foil coating on them. I have heard them called gouging rods. I believe the length is fixed but the...

I believe that you want the PG signal and it's associated wire Orng and Blk,try to jumper between them. You don't have to cut up the plug just insert the wire and turn it on. If that dosent work you could go ahead with the green and black I don't think you will damage anything as it would have...

Power supply Many apologies for not getting back to you sooner. If you look on your PS the connector that goes to the mother board will have a green wire with a black wire on either side. If you jumper the green with the black to the left of it you should have a fan kick on when you apply the...

Look for Vogel's "Practical Organic chemistry" I downloaded it using Lizard tech deje-vu as a reader. I found that there is an Adobe version also. If I can locate the link I will post it. It has a great wealth of lab set-up information along with diagrams of the apparatus.

chlorate production I used a 2 Gallon container, 1600g of NaCL in a saturated solution,8 carbon arc rods that were connected with magnet wire to the cathode,some stainless steel hard ware for an anode. the power supply was one that I picked up at a discount computer store for $10.00. I ran it...

chlorate production Hi,new member here! I have had some success with chlorate production by electrolysis using an old computer supply and carbon arc rods. Most of the information I gleened from the web. Visser's site being one of them,another site was rouge science(no longer available?) The...
