Re: Homebrew Anodizing

This bit, The Formation of Anodic Films (for electrolytic capacitors) may be a source of inspiration.:

The appeal of the microplasmic process I linked to before is that, compared to type II anodizing, microplasma produces a much harder, less porous, more corrosion-resistant film, faster, with benign electrolytes and almost no equipment. That's my interest, anyhow--I may experiment homebrewing, time ever permitting.

Interesting reference. As I was reading it, I began to wonder when it was written--especially when I came to the photos and the part about "some nine or ten years ago, copper containers were in general use..." Aha, first edition copyright 1938. That explains it. Interesting bunch of practical stuff in there, though.
