Russ, The cloud coming off the neg electrode is 'silver' gas bubbles which dissapate when stirred. If you are insisting on using salt then the grey cloud coming off the pos electrode is silver particles. Not theory. Just did it. Neg is connect to - on the battery and pos is connected to + on the battery. Tony
