Gotto make the You Tube video and blow something up to make it really successful. Hmmmm.

I got a potato canon in basement. I got my new Flux Capacitor rust remover that removes rust and produces hydrogen gas! Potato Cannon => hydrogen gas!

If I can get Techntrek to hold the camera, this could be big!

OK Leo, results are in. I took them out of my Flux Capacitor tank earlier and decided to put them in a vinegar bath to see what that would do. Not much, but they are definitely cleaner than they were when I started. I used a toothbrush and baking soda to remove the acid from the vinegar. The tank did take off a bit of the metal paint skin on the one plug.

I will give them both a go on Squam Lake in July and post the results! In the meantime, now I got neighbors bringing me their rusty tools. Ha! Works great on mower blades!

Beer, electricity and pea. This sound dangerous...and painful!

So I lifted the lures out of the tank. They're cleaning up, but go a ways to go. Maybe because they got such a small surface area, they're taking longer. We need an electrical engineer to 'splain it to us. I'm not an EE even though I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.

Hey, that's a good idea Leo!

Just put a couple of plugs in the tank. Let's give them a 3-4 beer soak and see what happens!
