ac power
Is an a/c power supply viable, or is d/c necessary?

The use of Alternating Current (AC) will not work for any electroplating or for anodizing.
This is because in AC the negative part of the cycle effectively reverses the anode and cathode connections. While AC will plate on the positive half of the cycle, it unplates on the negative half. You wind up with nothing.

ac?
its been my experience that ac and water dont mix... EVER! that would make a direct short and with ac a direct short... in my experience has always been associated with some sort of quick and loud pop.
