How to build your own electrolysis tank

So we were asked to post the instructions on how to build your own electrolysis tank. Silly me. I should have done that in the first place. Here are the instructions on how to do it for yourself.

Materials
Large container (water tight)
Copper wire bendable
Rebar
Wash soda
Eyelet screws
string or zip ties
trickle charger (6 amp)


First you will need to position the rebar as seen in the photo above. You can even add two more pieces about midway.

Drill holes in the side of the container to run the eyelet screws, putting the eyelet around the rebar snug. Run the screw through the hole and secure it with a nut on the outside. Run the copper wire all the way around the rebar making a circuit.

Fill the tank with water and wash soda (about 3 cups of wash soda).

Put the part into the tank that you want to remove the rust from. The wash soda and electrolysis process will remove the rust and grime. The rebar will attract the rust to it and off the parts.

Connect the positive terminal to the rebar and the negative to the part you are cleaning.Plug it in and monitor. Be careful with aluminum parts. They don't need to be in long and too much time will cause damage. Steel is ok and may take hours to complete the process. Good luck.
