Trem, Sorry but I hve to disagree with you on constant voltage and round wire. All of the variables can be wrapped up in one neat package and eliminated with polarity switching every minute with 1" spacing, #14 high purity silver, 3-1/2" wetted length in 16 oz of DW. In a 28 hour run the max current was 7.2ma. There is no runaway currents in polrity switching.
I have attached my pcx file for those who want it. I will supply charts and data if requested.
