Palladium I'm curious if you have any plans to patent your cell design. .

Ralph are you near me(florida east coast)?
I have a monster variable supply that came out of a naval destroyer a few years back.I don't know if it works,but you can have it.

Anybody got a comment on the top one. http://www.nitrorcthunder.com/Power%20supply.htm

Hi Guys- I don't speak much, just listen. However, we were asked for a reply re: power supplies and I feel obligated.

1. You can use a computer power supply to get several voltages. By inserting a wire jumper between the green wire on the 20 pin or 24 pin power feed block you will turn on the power supply. Removing the jumper turns it off.

2. One of the best cheapest power supplies for Cell work is a 6 or ten amp battery charger. It has a 6 volt output and a 12 volt output (High and Med)
To get the exact voltage and therefore current you want all you have to do is use a piece of nichrome (a toaster heating element wound on an electrical insulator will work with some fiddling with a clip for one of the leads with the end being connected to your load. If you want larger currents you can wind a SS coil with space between the coils to place your clip to get the current you want.

3. If you need a lot of current you can use a "Buzz Box" type electric welder going through a high amp Diode bridge. A trip to the Junk yard will usually provide a large diode bridge from a DC welder that will be more power than you will need for most jobs... unless you want to electroplate.

Enjoy.

Well here i set with all kinds of parts to start this but i still am not satisfied with my design concept. I don't like the contact problem. My main market for this will be for jewelry of course, but that is the field i am least knowledgeable in.

The shor concept uses electromotive forces to generate cl at the anode which happens to be the gold surface. This puts it into solution. If you have a short or bad contact it all comes to a halt. What if i had like a column and it was packed with gold shot or cornflakes. Through that column cl gas is passed over the surface of the gold in essence making the gold shot the packing material. Am i to assume that i could get just as good a dissolution or even better with cl gas as i would using electricity? But without the connection problems associated with direct electrical contact.
 
You never know what you might run across in your research.

Interesting :idea:

Measurement of Pore Diameters In Membranes

When the membrane is saturated the diameters of the largest pores can be measured according to the method used by Bigelow and Bartell. This consisted in connecting the cell supported with the bottom up, to the pressure tank and gauge, covering the surface of the membrane with water and gradually increasing the pressure, noting that at which bubbles appeared through the openings in the plate. This pressure represents that required to displace the water in the pores by air. From it, by means of Jurin's law, the pore diameters can be calculated.

This law may be formulated as follows: a2 = hr where o2 is a constant (14.823 for water at 20°), h the height to which water would rise on account of capillarity and r the radius of the pore. The appropriateness of the method has been discussed by Bigelow and Bartell.
