    This forum is going to end up on some watch list (if it isn't already) for destroying currency.

    Lucky you, guys, just think about people like me, living in the european community... our "nickels" are yellow, brass made

    Meanwhile, as my ex-wife requested my help for putting out his old dishwasher, I am seriously considering about extracting some nickel plated pieces before taking it out to the recycling/disposal area.

    Have you considered taking a tour to your local waste disposal area? Lots of electro-appliances for home use are rich in nickel plated parts and/or stainless steel.

    My only problem by now is how to manage to recognize parts plated with CHROME, as formation of hexavalent chromium compounds inside the electrolyzer is very possible and is one of the last things I would like to happen close to me...

    Any ideeas on how to recognize Ni, Cr and other related metals?

    Thank you.

    Look for non magnetic metals, nickel is non magnetic, and good stainless is not very magnetic, chrome is magnetic.

    Actually that is a very common misconception. There are three common magnetic metals. They are Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt. There are other very rare elements that are magnetic but they are very rare.

    Up to 14.5 MPG with no enhancers. Still testing the effects of lots of HHO and no electronic enhancers.

    ok my bad - didnt look at the years of the coins - the 99.9% are magnetic.

    ok Tried the 99.9% nickel money and very little production.

    my 304 switch plates did way more production, same electrolyte and same voltage.
