ok guys some of your cells have the symptoms of reverse polarity .
If you hook the positive to the tungsten rod you will get little to no arc and the rod will dissolve.

You must hook the Negative to the Tungsten and the Positive to the Screen

Ok so I was wrong...I posted earlier that my electrode had no "erossion" on it, I was wrong, took another closer look and right in the middle on the top of the rod there is a small pin hole..

And another thing ummm is aluminium ok in this cell with just water? ummm I forgot and ummm, well hey can I have brass in the cell. lol I need a fitting to hold the screen and I can get a brass one. Frickin small towns, never have anything ya need.

I see, said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw...

That's what did it! And good news, folks;

I jes got hooked up with a sheet metal shop that'll make stainless cylinders fer us. Gots a can of 304, 'bout 6" dia and 8" tall, TIG'd together. Looks nice.

If there be an interest, might take my big sheet of 316L (0.048 thick) down yonder, and slice, roll and TIG weld till I run outa cash... <grin>

Any sizes to recommend?

Also got more green rod and screen... hopefully next week will see some progress.

Thanks fer the guidance, IronHead!

Stainless 304 screen at Walmart in the form of a kitchen strainer set- 3 pcs ,sm,med,lg for <$10 USD . Methinks it's 304 cuz is slightly magnetic, but it ain't made outa aluminum.

My screen is 304 aswell but it is the nozzle that is attached to my screen, that is aluminium. Peicing another one together...hopefully get another test done in a few days.

Thanks guys.
