bog standard soda from tesco or where ever is what i use. for the long stuff use long rods for electrodes each side rather than short ones at the end as wel

Electrolysis? Doesn't that need some high current power supplies and the right material for the anode and cathode? I'm not sure what cola has to do with it? Confused here!

[Swarfing]

Cola? Soda crystals wally :-)

A car charger and steel will do, just need to clean them off once in a while.

[Tenson]

Not the sort you want to drink then!

[Swarfing]

Lol defo not

OK, just a quick update

so, last week I done some experimental electrolysis with small tanks to establish best results.

I stopeed off at the farm on way home from work friday and removed a rail.



Stole a bit of gutter off one of my sheds to create a long tank...

Those rails and bearings look like manufactured by SBC (Take a closer pick of bearings and I'll tell for sure) and if so then I think I've got some bearings kicking around if not I've got access to getting some if you ever need any.
