   Well, that's  2 Ohms, 648 Watt.   
      
      
   Brine works, although you must measure the Amps   
   and regulate the electrodes manually.   
   Make sure not to short circuit the current.   
   One bucket of water, 10 liters, and 1/4 Kg of salt.   
   40 cm of aluminium rod electrodes.   
   Starter cable of the Olde Times, not the Chinese ones.   
      
   Done this a 1000 times.
