My DIY Electrolysis Machine Still learning but proud of how far I’ve come

Right so, I’ve been working on this electrolysis machine I built myself mainly for de-rusting tools and metal parts. I’m still pretty new to all this stuff and just figuring things out as I go, but I’ve tried my best with what I’ve got lying around. It’s made from MOTs I rewound myself, and I’ve set it up with bolt terminals so I can swap the cables quick, added some fans for cooling, and even stuck on a breaker for safety. One side has PC fans blowing in and out, and on the other side I flipped two fans so air just pushes straight through the machine. It seems to be working well now. I did just find out I was using zinc-coated Unistrut inside the tank, which apparently isn’t great for this sort of thing, so I’m gonna swap that out for plain steel soon. I know it’s not perfect or anything fancy, but it’s working and I’m proud of it. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else is into this sort of thing or has tips to make it better. submitted by /u/Mindless_Dummy [link] [comments]
