ok. I still don't know about the cloudy business. It may be something
in the water to start with.
Why didn't the bulb light? Does it work at all...

I used distilled water from a store.
They were about 3 inches apart and then ~1 inch when I moved them. I
used a piece of plastic and cut slots to hold them the inch apart.
I turned off the light to shine the laser.
I used a plan that calls for a light bulb in circuit but that never
lit.
I do have a multimeter I can use and would love to find out how. I'm
using a pickle jar to make some more at the moment.
Thanks,

Cloudy? What kind of water did you use? How far apart were the
electrodes at first, then how far apart when you moved them? Did
you use the laser in a dark room or was it well lit? If you don't
have a meter to check the conductivity of the water, do you have a
multimeter to check the current flow and voltage?
