DO NOT TRY THE FOLLOWING AT HOME UNLESS YOU ARE CONFIDENT WITH LARGE CURRENTS, IMPLOSIONS AND ELECTRONICS
Suppose we make a solution of Cobalt(II) Nitrate. Rather than electroplate(this requires a multiplex of testing and operations to reach small particles, we can utilize electron guns, such as those found in television sets, in order to precipitate the metal within a beaker.
First make a solution of the substance with a relatively high molarity. This ensures that the production of the desired metal is the primary electrochemical reaction occurring.
Any ray tube, either from a television or a computer monitor etc. should have internals that function as follows:
For standard purposes the cyclical beam set in the middle of the diagram makes contact witha florescent screen. For the Electron Ray Precipitator (ERP) we will replace this screen with the target solution. Now there are steering coils in television sets, we won't be needing these, so simply do not wire them.
The CRT Display can contain poisonous coatings so be careful when removing it. Note do not simply pull it off, very large screens will cause quite the implosion when the vacuum seal is broken. I recommend a very small tube for reasons I will explain in the final setup.
The volume of space between the tube and the beaker must be evacuated which can be done by placing the solution within the flask then sealing the cathode ray to a side arm flask with epoxy and than evacuating the flask.
Once the Ray is aimed at the beaker place it inside of a PVC Tube, and wire a long control switch from which you can operate the ray. Have the contraption in a place far away from anything living and precipitate.
