Hi Kevin,
You could use the inner tube as a neutral electrode...by not connecting it with anything at all and connect the inner rod to the negative and the outer most pipe to the positive. From what i've read and seen neutral electrodes work...Joe's cell is a prime example of this.
Has anyone seen someone using neutral electrodes with voltage potential? well I havent.... looks like you have a new idea Kevin.... Definitely worth a try.

Hi Hydrocars,
Well youre almost spot on! the resistance wire restricts the current draw into the WFC. Try it before the inductor and after the inductor...see which gives the highest output. You dont need the resistance wire during the conditioning of the tubes its only for reducing the current draw.
Even I didnt know what this was for.....Dave told me that it would reduce the current draw when used.
Tell them that you need a bright anneal in nitrogen or argon atmosphere. Annealing is done after every cold work operation and at the finishing stage to reset the lattice structure. As we are cutting the pipes and slightly finishing the surfaces with sand paper to remove any imbedded impurities during tube drawing....its all cold working....so you need to relieve these induces stresses in the lattice through annealing. Im a metallurgist Hydro so you can stay assured about this. Its normal manufacturing procedure.
Which grade of SS are you using?
What are thicknesses of the tubes?
Are they seam welded or seamless pipes?

Let me mention this again:
The best grade of SS to use is 316L
Next preference is 316,304L and 304.
L stands for Low Carbon in the SS alloy.
316L composition: %
Carbon : 0.03
Manganese: 2.0
Phosphorous : <0.45
Sulphur : 0.03 max
Silicon : 1.0
Chromium : 16 to 18
Nickel : 12 to 14
Molybdenum : 2.0 to 3.0
316 SS nickel range is 10 to 14% and carbon being 0.08%
304 SS has lesser % of Nickel and Chromium and doesn't have Molybdenum at all.
so judge for yourself which grade you would want to use.
