morning azonenberg you know stuff on electrolosys ? was wondering how the sollution gets most amp's trough it for example with computer psu so far it seems based on mass off whats conted but there probably a sweet spot for electrolsis solution
<soul-d>
conected *
<azonenberg>
What are you trying to do?
<azonenberg>
I've done electronchemical etching, which is close
<azonenberg>
electrochemical*
<soul-d>
creating rust iron oxide :)
<azonenberg>
Haven't done that
<soul-d>
solution is sodium carbonate
<azonenberg>
generally higher concentration of electrolyte would mean lower resistance
<azonenberg>
but there is also a limit of how much you can safely dissipate in the bath
<soul-d>
yeah ph alrready was 14
<azonenberg>
before your PSU starts to overheat or the liquid starts to boil
<azonenberg>
you also want to be careful about gases
<soul-d>
only 0.700 runs trougg
<soul-d>
700ma
<soul-d>
12v
<soul-d>
in open shed ofcourse ventilated
<azonenberg>
you don't want lots of H2 and O2 to build up
<azonenberg>
lol
<azonenberg>
and how much more power do you want to push?
<soul-d>
max amps :P
<azonenberg>
8.4 watts is still quite a bit
<soul-d>
yeah someone calculated that 1amp generated 50gr oxide in 24h ~ bbut still have to get back into that
<soul-d>
this time i want to create lots of oxides or mostly all stuff that once was used as paint pigment
<soul-d>
first the lesser toxic ones ofcourse
<azonenberg>
i see
<soul-d>
and tried a bit of metalworking so ofcourse now i need some tamahanage steel wich japan doesnt export :P
<soul-d>
so best is to have lots of oxide's yourself and some trace metals and cook some steel yourself
<azonenberg>
you want to make your own steel? o_O\
<soul-d>
anyhow on electrolsys i see lots of people talk about using x/y lots of amps but als long as source can provide it
<soul-d>
not by making the oxides myself :P
<soul-d>
but i do someday
<soul-d>
in japanese style oven
<soul-d>
basicly a cube oven with air forced into downwards loaded with coal and then loaded with coal and ore from top
<soul-d>
then you do that every 15 min
<soul-d>
for a day
<soul-d>
why did i say 2 times the same thing ?
<soul-d>
lol
<soul-d>
maybe time for coffee

soul-d: buying rust is much cheaper
<Sync>
iirc it is commercially done by heating fine steel powder
<soul-d>
i know just experimenting wasnt serieus about the part to make own steel with that but do want to make pigments for paint
<soul-d>
iron should able to provide red black and yellow
