Hi Renee, Thanks for the comments. What on earth are you doing with coax? That is very unusual to hear. Yes, I agree, there are many problems with a housewife trying to solder connections. Even a solder pen requires the proper flux and skill from experience that not many housewives will have the time or desire to learn. It is for these reasons that I will list many alternative ways of getting the connections properly soldered by an experienced person. For example, a local high school or university may have plenty of people who are willing to do it for nothing. A local ham will be pleased to help. Any electronic engineer will be very happy to do it, and many plumbers may be willing. The only problemis they must use rosin flux instead of acid flux, and a small iron instead of a propane torch. There will be many experiences and interesting tales to tell from this simple problem:) I hope you will join in the experiment to make your own Silvercell generator!
