Hi,

The problem is - what in the world is 
a   ""Clay/tone""   ????    It really means 
'nothing' in English..  A number of net 
translator engines get "small" out of it 
too...  The original key word, with the little 
spots and all lost, is "Tonröhrchen"...  I think 
this is one of those terms only locals that 
really speak the language all the time 
understand.  So we need some German person to translate it for "sure" ;-))

There is a city named Clayton, but I don't think it would fit in the tank...

Cheers,

       Terry

Hi everybody,
The German phrase below translated into english is:

Into a beaker filled with seawater rise up   two 
electrodes, whereby the one by   Clay/tone tube 
is isolated from the surrounding water.   If high 
voltage is applied, then flows for 0,15   Seconds 
a river by the water, strong up to 60 ampere.

Have a nice day,

   As the old saying goes "There's something lost in the translation.".

   Wonder what transliterated English looks like 
to someone who speaks only German?
