Well done on the electrolysis. I've been using it for quite a few years with brilliant results - IIRC I saw the instructions on Instructables.
I use an ATX computer power supply to power mine. If you short the green wire in the motherboard plug to any black wire with a paperclip, the power supply thinks it's connected to a motherboard and will happily deliver 5 and 12 volts from the Molex hard disk connectors at pretty high amperages.
I've heard dire warnings against this but have never had any problems over a period of years . . .
Thanks again for the write-up.
