See if you can get some heavier copper or aluminum wire and try that as a conductor.

That is interesting stuff there. I never thought of doing that.

Sweet.

The black wire (from the charger to the electrode) is 10 gauge and is actually bigger than the charger wires are, so that wont do much I imagine. I'm looking at getting a bigger charger to try out for a day or too (25 amp, borrowed just to test it out) to see if that makes a difference.

Right now however, I'm working on my hot tank project, and figuring out if it will be feasible to buy another one of these stock tanks for electrolysis. Just need to make space in the garage to put it all together. 8)
