Robin, Some quick sniffing around produced this site,
http://www.proton21.com.ua/articles_en.html If you can find anything relating actual experimental proceduces, rather than results and sample analysis, please note it. I've never used copper as an electrode, as it tends to disintegrate with such ease that one ends up with a one shot spark gap. Perhaps if I did I would be more familiar with the destructive effects on the anode like what we see here.

If you look closely at the bottom of it, you can still see the remains of a small sphere, though there appears to be more metal present than would fit in a sphere. Perhaps the remains of the sphere shrunk? I must admit however to being a little wary of this whole thing. If true, it is a major discovery, however I'm curious why this sort of thing hasn't turned up previously during heavy arc welding. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk All SPAM goes in the trash unread.
