Cannon ball in the electrolosis cleaner - 10/7/2009 5:05:36 PM    privvydigger Posts: 2597 Joined: 7/16/2006 From: Heart of the Coal Regions Status: offline Well with the help of Slake's uncle I put together a make shift electrolosis cleaner and have the cannon ball in there now.  Seems to be working.  I will say my heart is racing a hundred miles an hour.  Everything seems fine.  I've been told it was safe by several smart guys who know their ****.  I am wonder if I can submerge the whole thing.  I filled the inside with water? any help would be appreciated.  I check on it with a cast iron pot on my head and two frying pans strapped to my chest with a vest.  I'd take a picture of myself but I've been laughed at enough in my life time. here's the set up Attachment (1) _____________________________ thx privvydigger gtr'dug Collector of all Coaldale & Lansford, And love digging Summit Hill, Mauch Chunk & Tamaqua, Pa. sodas, beers, milks.....

Status: offline dig Yes cover the item completly, If I was you I'd be using a plastic heavy duty bucket, something like a 5 gallon paint or mud bucket. I assume you have it hooked up to a battery charger? As long as she's boiling you OK, I'd check it after 24 hours, and the about every 12. Good luck with it. (in reply to privvydigger) Post #: 4

Status: offline you're producing hydrogen gas, and in confined spaces it's explosive, and ain't to good to breathe either[:D no offense taken sometimes humor does not come across on these type boards As far as size of screw the ones you see on electrical applances, switches, plugs, those type things. Drill it on the bottom it will be hidden when you display it. Also check to see if anything is still left on the inside of the shell. Some of those held case shot someone mentioned in an earlier post. They were usually lead balls or scraps of other metal. The electrolysis will dissolve the lead.
