I also previously developed a method for running standard electrolysis and attempting to trigger LENR with pulses. The way it works is to place the active cathode (say some type of nickel) in between two additional electrodes in the cell. In this case, the nickel electrode would be placed in between the welder electrodes (resulting in the current going through the water to go through that cathode). With a control system, the electrolysis can be turned off for that brief period of time when the pulse is fired and immediately resume after the pulse stops. I can program the frequency with which that happens. Of course those high levels of current are likely to be destructive to the nickel.
