soul-d | 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 | 09:31 |
---|---|---|
soul-d | conected * | 09:31 |
azonenberg | What are you trying to do? | 09:32 |
azonenberg | I've done electronchemical etching, which is close | 09:32 |
azonenberg | electrochemical* | 09:32 |
soul-d | creating rust iron oxide :) | 09:32 |
azonenberg | Haven't done that | 09:32 |
soul-d | solution is sodium carbonate | 09:32 |
azonenberg | generally higher concentration of electrolyte would mean lower resistance | 09:32 |
azonenberg | but there is also a limit of how much you can safely dissipate in the bath | 09:32 |
soul-d | yeah ph alrready was 14 | 09:33 |
azonenberg | before your PSU starts to overheat or the liquid starts to boil | 09:33 |
azonenberg | you also want to be careful about gases | 09:33 |
soul-d | only 0.700 runs trougg | 09:33 |
soul-d | 700ma | 09:33 |
soul-d | 12v | 09:33 |
soul-d | in open shed ofcourse ventilated | 09:33 |
azonenberg | you don't want lots of H2 and O2 to build up | 09:33 |
azonenberg | lol | 09:33 |
azonenberg | and how much more power do you want to push? | 09:33 |
soul-d | max amps :P | 09:34 |
azonenberg | 8.4 watts is still quite a bit | 09:34 |
soul-d | yeah someone calculated that 1amp generated 50gr oxide in 24h ~ bbut still have to get back into that | 09:34 |
soul-d | this time i want to create lots of oxides or mostly all stuff that once was used as paint pigment | 09:35 |
soul-d | first the lesser toxic ones ofcourse | 09:35 |
azonenberg | i see | 09:36 |
soul-d | and tried a bit of metalworking so ofcourse now i need some tamahanage steel wich japan doesnt export :P | 09:42 |
soul-d | so best is to have lots of oxide's yourself and some trace metals and cook some steel yourself | 09:42 |
azonenberg | you want to make your own steel? o_O\ | 09:45 |
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 | 09:45 |
soul-d | not by making the oxides myself :P | 09:45 |
soul-d | but i do someday | 09:45 |
soul-d | in japanese style oven | 09:45 |
soul-d | basicly a cube oven with air forced into downwards loaded with coal and then loaded with coal and ore from top | 09:46 |
soul-d | then you do that every 15 min | 09:46 |
soul-d | for a day | 09:46 |
soul-d | why did i say 2 times the same thing ? | 09:47 |
soul-d | lol | 09:47 |
soul-d | maybe time for coffee | 09:47 |
Sync | soul-d: buying rust is much cheaper | 20:41 |
Sync | iirc it is commercially done by heating fine steel powder | 20:41 |
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 | 21:06 |
soul-d | iron should able to provide red black and yellow | 21:06 |
