First run of the tests on still pics, not that bad. I think that this was the 25 amp setting. You can see that the brown scum starting already.

You can see here(you'll have to look hard) there is some smoke coming off the positive clamp of the battery jumper cables. This battery is the one that I got from Bob Boyce(THANKS BOB!). The battery I must say is far better than trying to use a standard car battery. This battery is one of the solar battery bank batteries he had.

Here is the production from JUST the battery charger set on the 2amp setting. It is pulling 2.8 according to the battery charger. You can see that the production isn't much.

This is the production on the 10amp setting. It was actually pulling 10.2 according to the battery charger.

And this is the production from the 25amp setting. It says it was pulling 25.8amps. I am not sure if this is right, I really don't think it is, next time I'll use my multimeter to measure the amp reading. After these pics I left to take care of trying to get a job and get it's necessary things squared away. When I came back the tank was really covered int he browm scum even though I had flushed the tank. I flushed the tank again and started the battery charger up again. This time the charger took a dump on me even though I had a heafty charger. After that I hooked it up to the Mirage and ran the car on idle for a couple hours. It covered the top in scum again and I realized that it also killed the battery after I shut it down to see what the production would be with just the vehicle power. I started let the battery run it and when I went to start the car it couldn't. So I left it for the night to recharge the battery alone. I'll try again tomorrow with the tests. I'll also be working on the top of the tank as well to put the electrical pass-through connections in, as well as the two 1/4NPT fittings for the gas output and the water input. I had a hard time finding everything in stainless and I still have a few more things to get to finish it up right.
