- Worth noticing
- The membrane recipe uses water-softener cation-exchange beads, PVC cement, and fiberglass cloth; the page reports a 90-minute pH difference after power-off.
Field notes
The dip-bar write-up traces the work from dimensioned sketches through shearing, press-brake forming, welding, deburring, and a loaded test. In the electrochemistry section, the author explains how water in the resin-and-PVC mixture helped it spread across fiberglass cloth, then describes a two-chamber cell with nickel electrodes. The reported pH separation after power-off is presented as evidence that the membrane kept the chambers apart.
