A curly one and a problem that has me stumped .
The bucket of my loader is rusty inside , to clean this I filled it with water after blocking up the pin holes with corks and set up a standard electrolysis circuit .
Negative of the battery charger to the bucket , positive to a scrap of steel plate suspended from pieces of timber , no contact between the two .
Ordinarily when this is set up in a plastic tub it works well , 5 amps has the object to be cleaned fizzing away in a few minutes and clean as a whistle in two days .
Here is the problem , despite having everything connected the right way and polarity correct the scrap plate is fizzing [ being cleaned ] and the bucket is getting rustier !!
Only difference from normal is I am using the bucket as its own bath , I am losing sleep over this one .
