loose parts

I finally found a use for science! I got the idea of using some of the electrochemistry I learned last year to take the work out of the tedious removal of corrosion from the chrome parts. By hooking up the rusted part to the cathode and a chunk of expendible metal to the anode I can reverse the oxidation process as long as there is some kind of electrolyte in the solution the two bits are in. Right now the chrome from the lower left fork is being cleaned by a a useless old cell phone charger in my basement sink! It's only generating a current of .6 amps at 3 volts though. If I really wanted to get cooking I could use a car battery charger or something at 12volts.
