The Teflon pan may not be the best of containers to try your test in, I might suggest a liter beaker or some HDPE container. What I have observed is that a passive metal container is part of the circuit, if connected or not. Over the years many a SS container has suffered microscopic pin holes when being used in this way.
Well, well, well. You were absolutely right. When I finished the experiment today and stored the water, I noticed some very small bubbles forming between the teflon and the aluminum. Doesn't look like it totally erupted, however; but, I think I'll seek out an HDPE container for stage two. Also, the adhesive gave out on one pair of plates. Further research indicates that 3M does not recommend it on SS. Go figure. I'm trying to decide whether to put a rubber band around it, tie a string around it, or just skip the 24 VDC test until I can rebuild the cell. Terry
