Copper cleaning process with electricity

This is the process i use to clean my copper pieces after using heat to braze or pour ingots. I wrap copper cable aaround the piece that needs cleaned , in the past I would wire eaach bracelet individually but I have moved on now to stacking the bracelets so I can clean more at one time. I use the voltage straight from my river turbine and put it through a bridge rectifier that changes the 3 phase AC electricity to DC that is needed for this process. The electricity draws all the impurity out of the copper and leaves it very dull looking, in this video you can see a scum appears on top of the water where the cleaning has taken place , this will be soot from the weld and copper braze I use. The darkness is aa dust that covers the copper and it is very easily taken off with a nylon brush in my small drill. This gives the copper a lovely shine and it does look good, im not sure if better would be a good word to use here because I like the 2 states of the copper so with the ingots I will keep some raw the wat the come out after pouring . After the nylon brush I use a polishing pad in the grinder to lift the shine even more. I believe this will stop staining of the skin when used in holistic healing jewellery. I'm not saying it definitely wont stain but it will be pure copper that is touching the skin so staining will be minimal. So when someone asks how long it takes to make one its very hard to tell as each bracelet must go through the whole process and this part can take up to 3 hours from the bath to the finished clean.
