Not just me then.

As usual the devil is in the details, things like flushing pressures
and dielectric pressures but it does have a lot going for it indeed.

For some inspiration have a look at:

http://www.ugatu.ac.ru/ecm/detali_eng.html

The stuff they have made is ammazing. For such details a pulsed
supply seems to be needed, they discuss some of the technicalitites in
"essenses of the method".

Oh and for a bit of a lack have a look at my "attempt":

http://www.indoor.flyer.co.uk/ecm.htm

With simple salt no filtering and a current limit of only 1.5A
combined with no reading of current I didn't stand much of a chance
but considering that its encouraging.

I'm working on EDM at the moment but the basic "engine" is very
similar so it might be worth experimenting again but with some better
equipment.
