Rustolysis - I Built My Own Electrolysis Rig

[@davidhathaway9527]

Very impressive Miguel!!! Very cool..

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you Dave, I appreciate it.

[@emilevoyer123]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@DugMcClure]

Impressive results! Thanks for sharing!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I have done a similar project in the past but it didn't have any voltage control. I like this version a lot better.

[@davidcarlisle3384]

Watching live 👍😊

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it

[@davidhathaway9527]

This'll be interesting.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

It's ALIVE... it works pretty good too.

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Cool job 👍❤️👍 congrats

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you Lisa

[@IDGARA]

That was a very cool idea. Now I want to make myself one.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I would say on a scale of 1 to 4, this project is a skill level 2. The main thing is to make absolutely sure everything is wired correctly.

[@Jerry-Parker]

Awesome project , very nicely done ! 👍

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you. I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching

[@upnorthadventureswithccc]

Mike that is fantastic ! You are quite talented :) Everything turned out beautiful ! Great job👍

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you!!! It was fun to build. I am happy with the results too.

[@ladybluegrass4173]

Wow! That's amazing!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Electronics is fun. I am better at component-level electronics than I am with computers

[@jackgallman3100]

Hello from Marion North Carolina,That is awesome, thanks for sharing

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you Jack, I am glad you like it.

[@jerrydineen2827]

That is pretty impressive Mike. It did an amazing job on those relics!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I agree, to avoid pitting of the metal, low current is the way to go. On larger iron relics like horseshoes, the current can be bumped up a bit. Iron pits anyway. Because of the risk of pitting, I do not use this on coins.

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

That does an awesome job!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you! I saw similar items on the market, but since I am an electronics engineer, I made my own for a fraction of the price.

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

Very nice!

[@Sturika]

Very cool! You're like the Bill Nye of our community. Keep up the great videos, and thanks for showing everyone these super interesting things Mike! 😃

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

It was a fun project to build. I am very happy it works! LoL

[@WeDigIt]

Mike, that's amazing, I have a healthy respect for electricity and those who can work with it. Have a great week brother!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you very much. I taught electronics for 14 years so it only makes sense that I should build my own.

[@williame8202]

Interesting. When does it hit the market? 😁

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I appreciate your interest in Rustolysis. This is a prototype or a proof-of-concept. More safety features will be integrated in the next one. Timers, auto shutoff, short circuit protection, Thermal protection if the components get too hot etc.

[@ClarksCoveDetecting]

Awesome looks like it works great, thanks for sharing.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

It works really well. I am an electronics nerd anyway so why not build my own? Thank you for watching.

[@craigrogers2562]

I love it.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you. I will bring it along when we meet up for our Veteran's Day hunt.

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Loved watching your process of building your own electrolysis rig, such a great and intuitive idea. enjoyed seeing it in action too, it cleaned up really really well. Thank you Mike!!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you for the fantastic comment. I wanted to make my own for a long time and finally got around to building one. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

[@PinnedonPlaces]

@Metal-Detecting-NC such an interesting process. Can only appreciate your work!

[@jbibro]

This is incredible. The effectiveness of the machine is impressive, and then there’s the craftsmanship. I also enjoyed the guitar work. 👏🏻

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you Joe. I re-engineered the circuit to include a bypassible timer and short-circuit protection. I am building version 1.1 now.

[@itsallgravy7]

So this isn't for hair removal. It looks nifty brother Mike. I didn't know you were and inverter ❤

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I turned it on and all my hair fell off... just kidding. It sure does get the grime off relics though.

[@itsallgravy7]

​@Metal-Detecting-NC what would it do to a Triscuit?

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

@@itsallgravy7 🤣🤣🤣

[@ronsdigginthemidwest5502]

Weird, I lost the live chat

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I hope you get it back. Thank you for watching

[@DigginWithDeej]

Wowzers Mike! That is fantastic! The relics turned out great! I want one! Bring yours Thanksgiving please. I have a small decorative window opener I need to clean up for property owner, please.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I will bring it. It is very easy to use. I am still experimenting with how long to let an object "cook" without causing pitting.

[@Keepinyoungdiggin]

Seems my comment got deleted, don’t know why. I’m a big fan of electrolysis and your prototype is very impressive. I have one home built for cannon balls and another purchased one for smaller finds. This looks like a well built unit, I’ll continue to keep a close watch on future modifications. Good luck!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you very much. I haven't tried it on large items like horseshoes yet. I haven't found a cannonball in ages.

[@fencejumpers]

yeah buddy my mate made one of them, and it worked a treat ❤

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I was too cheap to buy one, so I made one. It was a fun project

[@talcadetector4018]

Saludos cordiales desde chile para todos ustedes amigos 🙋‍♂️🇨🇱🤜🤛💍👏🗝️⛏️😊

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you, I appreciate your support. I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[@mimi060955]

2 thumbs up ! You are the MacGyver of your group. Impressive smarter than you let on.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you, I have been working with electronics for a long long time. Sometimes it is better to make it yourself. Than you for watching.

[@fencejumpers]

bro my mate made one of them and she works alright.... shirt in the mail bruv...it landed in America yesterday. hey your an electrician buddy nice. very very cleverly built mate....

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

YESSS!!!! Thank you for the update. I will keep an eye out for the only Fence Jumper shirt in the USA.

[@Swamp-Fox]

That turned out great Mike! Have you ever tried Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda (soda ash) to make your electrolyte? It looks like you set the maximum output voltage to 9 VDC. Does the current draw increase as the electrolysis process progresses?

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Typically the voltage and current proportionally increase. The brine does have some resistance so if I were to move the object closer to the positive anode, the current will increase. I use Arm & Hammer for large iron objects that I would put in a 5 gallon bucket and let it go for several hours. Pickle juice and lemon juice work well too. Anything with a high pH will work.

[@suzettefree129]

Very cool. I’d have electrocuted myself lol.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

It is safe as long as you don't let the two electrodes touch. On my next one, I am integrating more safety features

[@Coin_Tales]

I planted rose number [43] in your garden. Don't forget to pay me a visit!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you very much, I appreciate your support.

[@IndianaTones]

great job!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Thank you. Much appreciated

[@MegaSilverStacker]

Nice work brother💯👊 If you would be interested in selling the Diamond T badge, I have a special someone who might enjoy that for Christmas 🎄 😊 lmk

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I usually don't let my finds go, but give me an offer via email and I will let you know. My email address is on my About tab. This is the video when the badge was found. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5LTgayQYrF1jq8si=k6C23ESPni4tAnIB

[@IndianaTones]

Where can i get that box and all the components?

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Do you want to build your own or would you like me to build one for you? I have all components except for the project box. Email me.

[@IndianaTones]

@@Metal-Detecting-NC build own. Will do

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

@@IndianaTones I can send you the schematic and the parts list.

[@joeybrown2089]

Hey, brother. I got your mail today. Thanks, the challenge coin looks cool. I cannot find your challenge coin video. Do you have a link or video name?

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

You arecvery welcome, I'm glad you like it.
