Anyone Ever heard of Electrolysis ???

Max my trickle charger can do is 10 amps

Cant monitor it though since the amp gauge on the charger is busted lol

Can always put the heavy duty charger on it lol!

This getting pretty interesting. Before this thread I'd never heard of this

Hell yeah, crank that bitch up. I wanna see some iron cook to brand new condition. This is why I got that 10/40 160 amp charger. Its a heavy duty and I hope to run it at 40amps instead of 10amps. 4x the cooking power. And I hope it will unseize a Pancho 400 that sat in a pasture uncovered for over 10 years.

and then sell the block to me

This rusty old 75 Pancho 400 ???

If the chemistry experiment works!

 

[HotRodPC]

Ahh man !!! I was gonna sell it to you cheap as it sits complete, less the brackets that were taken off. Price gotta go up if I work on it. To many projects so little time !!!

Thinking about using some steel rods for electrodes

Kinda hard maneuvering the copper coil in without touching the manifold now

I've seen people use rebar, as long as it sticks up out of the water, you dont want your wires in there it will oxidize the copper wires too quickly.

This sounds too cool, I am thinking about doing a small scale expirment with a 5 gallon bucket if I can find some 305 manifolds at my pops house.

Use anything you can get, just no alluminum, cuz it will disappear.

I need to get me a 55 gal drum next time I do this though

The little trash can im using sucks

 

[Irishman999]

What would happen if you use a metal trash can and just hook you ground up to the trash can?! Like one of those galvanized ones.

 

[crazy4offroad]

If you use a metal trash can I wouldnt use a galvenized one, not sure how the zinc would react. Trash cans like that arent really designed to be filled with liquid and may leak, but a 20 gallon steel drum would be ideal for smaller projects. You would have to insulate the part, let's say a cylinder head, from the bottom of the drum with a piece of wood or thick rubber mat. If the part you're working on, which is connected to one lead, comes in direct contact with the metal drum or rebar or whatever you're using, you get the nice fireworks display MBP was talking about, or an overheated/burned-out battery charger.
