Oh, what fun to be had! One place I worked a while ago did a similar
thing with a 4CX1500. It was great except that the fluid circulating
through the anode made a great Van de Graaf generator and eventually
there was an almighty spark in the heat exchanger. The project got
abndoned just before I joined so I missed the real fun :-(
