Building My Electrolysis Tank | Part I

- Building an electrolysis tank to clean antique cast iron cookware. This tank has four anodes in it in order to totally surround the piece I am cleaning. This is part one of this adventure! This video shows the basic tank once it is completed.

This is really slick. Thanks for the ideas, 8 years later.
I love the idea of an internal "cage"! That's slick!
One of the best built tanks I've seen on here! Good job
I applaud how well thought out your tank is. It is overkill for me because I am lazy. Thank you for showing me what I could accomplish if I were not lazy. 😂😂
Man you are ocd. That is the best neatest set up I’ve seen.
Wow You Sir are the Boss. Nice setup, I always love watching your channel.
Awesome. E tank done right.
That is a really neat and clever set up!
excellent tank build
Thank you!
Simple and smart solution for a basket, great idea on the tank and how you wired it +++
I have watched a lot of videos on this and you are the first I have seen put a basket so the piece doesn't touch the metal plate (anode?). Everyone else just says to be careful!
Very nice tank build.
Thanks for sharing you did a great job and it works really well I got to make me one of these.
songsingingman - Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Very nice job!
Great video! Love it!
You certainly don't do things in halves! For the record, the danger of the iron pan touching the plates isn't explosive or the like (even though this does produce flammable gas); rather, the current flow through the plates would corrode your iron pan. That's what we don't want, so the pan should not touch the plates. Outstanding setup!
Wow! Impressed
Also, the flammable gas (oxygen and hydrogen) is dissipated by regular airflow when you do this in an open space, such as outdoors. Just be sure no one lights a cigarette when standing close to the tank. :)
I keep the garage open and keep a box fan running towards the tank to dissipate the gas.
Good design
Love your set-up. Can you please tell me what size your plastic tote is, and where you purchased it?
I heard you say something about graphite before you said you bought the steel plates? what do you mean by graphite?
Great set up! I'm gonna solicit the help of my brother to make me one. Thanks for sharing.
imasurvivornthriver - Thank you for watching!
Great set of videos; thank you. Where did you get the steel plates?
I got the steel plates at Lowe's.
You are amazing.
where did you get your charger?
I could be mistaken, but isn't electrolysis 'line-of-sight' dependent? If so, then you may not want to stack them in there so that they are blocking each other. Very nice tank otherwise!
I haven't tried it yet, but I have seen other people hang multiple pieces in their tank at the same time and it does just fine. I have heard several things about electrolysis, and after building my own tank, I have found that some of them just aren't true.
not really line of sight but the current will flow "strongest" to the closest anode with 2 or more anodes you won't have any major "shadow" areas.
can this use with wax prototype ?
Great though, my question to you is how were you able to connect the wiring around the tube? Did you places hole in them as well to touch the metal plates?
I made a loop out of the wires and connected them with the round electrical connectors coming out of each port.
Roger is it necessary to clean the steel plates and if so how do you do it?
Electricity will take the path of least resistance anyway, therefore, only the plate in the shortest route will be utilized.
hey Jeff do you have links to all the parts you used?
Excellent video, ... sometimes you just make the rest of us rookies look stupid, :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Lol!!! Thanks for watching.
DUDE REALLY!?!?!?!???
It took me a while to be sure Einstein hadn't been reincarnated as a Black guy whilst watching this video.You're on an entirely different level of Genius.Granted I have not seen very many Electrolysis tanks/setups yours (IMO) is the Best,most compact,cheapest to make one I've yet to see.Great video Brother Seriously! You earned yourself a new Sub with me.Keep up the great work.
what did you used to cover the wires and where did you get the plates and what kind of battery charger did you use
Scott Hysell - Hey scott!!
+The Culinary Fanatic great answer lol
I got a bunch of old old cast aluminum skilletts that are really bad rusted,will this work?or eat them up?Thanks in advance.
Bonita Wilson - I am so sorry, but I don't have the answer for this. I don't know how or if it would work on aluminum.
Bonita Wilson Aluminum doesn't rust. If there's rust, it's some type of iron metal.
Where did you find the small jumper cables?
I made them with wire I got from Auto Zone. I got the connectors from WalMart.
Nice
can this be used to make bleach?
I wish I could trade a garden box for one of these. I don't want to make one of these. I would like to buy one or trade for one! Does anyone sell them? I will check eBay.
40 amps? Did you measure that? What’s your voltage? Are you using a variable power supply or you think you are pulling 40amps because it says its rated for 40 amps on the box? Voltage is directly proportional to current draw, meaning the higher the voltage the lower the amperage and visa versa. Too much electrolyte will cause less resistance therefore higher amperage. You don’t need to be drawing 40 amps to get the job done. Make sure your power supply has a DC voltage adjustment to bring that amperage down. Also suggest you look up ohms law and understand what your doing before you melt everything down cause a short circuit and explosion. Sometimes over engineering something when you get your engineering degree off of RUclips isn’t the best idea. Keep it simple, efficient and it will work, do not rush the process.
Your over thinking something simple, it's not as complicated as all this. The milk crate will make a shadow on your skillets too, it's really unnecessary. Just use a dowel and hang the pan with a coat hanger wire. The surround effect is good and will save time. :)
I have cleaned a ton of pieces and have never gotten any shadow effect. How am I over thinking this? You do it your way and I will do it mine. We end up at the same happy destination.
+Joe Cwik your way is lazy
unless the pots were really close to the patterned plastic and the current high there should be and major "shadows" - shadows are "enhanced" by using more current than necessary. Turn it down and go slow . . .
really nice design!
