[NewCandle] Joe Cell Running

Well here's the setup:

It's being fired by a wall wart rated at 6VDC which is actually
putting out 9VDC with considerable ripple.  Probably just a xfmr and a
rect.  Only the end plates are energized.  The one facing the camera
is the anode.

The container is a teflon coated bread pan confirmed to be fully
electrically insulated.  It holds roughly 1/2 gal of water with the
cell.

There was no current flow in the cell until I poured in the distilled
water and I immediately saw it rise to 0.8 mA.  After 5 min. it was up
to 1.5 mA and seemed fairly steady.  I'm keeping a log.

I plan to charge the water for 1 week if I can keep the cats out of
it.  There will be plenty available if Vorts want a sample.

PS Interesting note:  After about 10 min., the only bubble formation
was on the anode near the base at the teflon.  Aggregrated
microbubbles?
