easy electrolysis,,,, the clean way

Simply brilliant, rust removal with electricity, redneck, oh! no, we are talking about the fourth floor here, simply brilliant, derusting with electrolysis, Edison, Tesla, Ford, Maytag, this process goes way back, I think this block of carbon I am using for the anodes is impregnated with a high percentage of graphite, I am thinking a composite of these and probily with additional ingredients, unknown to me as this block was an el-cheapo, estate sale buy, it does conduct electricity very good, fill a plastic bucket with five gallons of tap water, throw in a couple of hand fulls of sodium carbonate, (arm & hammer super washing soda, you get it at the grocery store, in the laundry dept.), carbon for the anode, part to be cleaned is the cathode, hook-er up to a 12 volt battery charger, use a jumper wire to connect the anodes together, set to 6 or 8 amps., plug-er in and have patience,, lots of it, it's in the sun all day, yes! that's solar heating, use it to your advantage, I do my part, leave a comment, subscribe, pass it on,, the technical part will be left up to your own research, as I do not have a clue as to what the answer is,, what?, just yesterday the duck tape girl said to me, 'a hippie don't get above your learning, now where is the half dozen old rusty cast iron skillets she done saved from the scrap man?, no name, made in the USA, atomic number six, get back dog! get back! from here on the east coast of Arkansas, the show goes on, thanks, shopdogsam

Damn that video made more since then anyone I've seen good one

Thanks Sam. Been doing electrolysis myself but didn't know about using carbon. I just use the usual steel plates and rods. Must look for some carbon.

You seem to have a knack of making things so simlpe and easy to understand and i thank you for that. All the best sam from the deep south of New Zealand

This works great. I been cleaning parts for about 2 weeks now, everything from old cast iron pots to engine parts. Just thought I'd give ya a shout out I'm from south central arky

HI SAM, I HOPE YOU FARED WELL WITH THE IRENE STORM, AND DIDN'T SUFFER ANY DAMAGE. I TOOK ON 24" OF WATER IN MY SHOP AND LOST SOME MOTORS AND TOOLING. IT CAME TO ME THAT YOU HAVE USED THE ELECTROLYSIS SYSTEM TO CLEAN THOSE ENGINE PARTS. I HAVE A BUNCH OF TOOL STEEL THAT IS JUST RUSTED FROM RIVER MUCK. YOUR VIDEO ON CLEANING WITH ELECTROLYSIS HAS LEFT ME WITH 2 QUESTIONS, IS THAT A 12 VOLT CHARGER YOUR USING AND IS CARBON THE ONLY CATALYSIS I COULD USE. ANY HELP PLEASE, THANKS TONY G.

Actually, the workpiece should serve as the anode (positive terminal). Unless you're plating.

Or am I missing something?

[NoSkates]

So simply put. Thanks for the vid.

Thanks Sam. I've been using electrolysis for about 5 years now and agree with you on how well it does work. I have been rebuilding a John Deere B the last few

years and have used electrolysis on it on every piece that I could, including the

main frame of the tractor by dipping one end at a time in a large plastic barrel.

Keep up the good work Sam, enjoy your videos. Sometimes I think sure that I

can smell that good cooking clear from here. Forrest

Hey Sam, just sitting out in my back yard shed giving your electrolysis a quick whirl.

I put a few seconds of video on my channel, I'll let you know how it goes!

Thanks Shopdog. Great video!

shopdog I am very curious what is your back ground what did you do for a living! I love your work i have learned so much. do you read or is your experiance OJT, school, ECT, all of the above. i am a electro mechanical and HVAC technician OJT and school educated. just curious thanks for the great stuff. P.S. your cooking segments are great cant wait to try some of your recipies.
