andy, I had 3' wire, cut in 3 = lengths, got a cookie jar [about 8" tall x 5ish} that has a thick wooden top [1"-ISH], drilled 3 holes across [thru the top] just big enough to slip the #12 wire thru. 3-holes, 3 pieces with a bitty curl at the top end. 2-outside wires connected together go to +, middle goes [duhhh] -,...of my single 9v alk-batt. with clip leads. The 3 wires hang down to near the bottom and thence each is bent upwards [ U-shapped]. the wire = #12, .9999 [arnold beland] The whole outfit, inclu wire, batt, cookie-jar and 87cent gal DW was less than $15. .........it probably took longer to write this than it took to get my first batch cookin. regards, davido

Before that, I used to throw toggle switches to load the accumulator, compiler and registers. Those were the good days of magnetic core memory and paper tape readers. Anyhow, I better keep this on topic. I've got about 3 feet of 9999 - 12 ga. wire and I want to build a simple CS generator for someone. This is an AutoCAD person so I have to keep it simple. I'll obviously be using something less than 3 feet of wire in the vessel to allow for headroom and a connection area. Any suggestions from you or anyone else on the list regarding current limit, brew vessel size, wire spacing, etc., would be appreciated.

If not, there are plenty of free equation solvers on the web. I don't use the latest Windows software so I can't tell you how good they are. I may not be able to answer any questions about the Windows versions, but I'll do my best to try to help. These are wonderful programs. Best Regards, Mike Monett
