The downfalls of conventional electrolysis - and how to fix them

[oswaldonfire]

Not exactly - but you're getting there.

I already said that sodium bicarbonate is not the salt we're looking for, and neither is Sodium Chloride (table salt). There is one more popular salt that contains sodium that can be used as an electrolyte.

You are right in suggesting that we would need a whole lot of whatever salt we're using. The increased surface area of a single sodium atom/ion will only be useful if we create a supersaturated solution of it.

Read up on magnetic induction. Wikipedia summarizes it nicely:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

Once you understand the basic principles of induction, you will see why a permanent magnet will not work - or even an electromagnet for that matter. Induction will not occur if there is just a static magnetic flux.

ill read it-but i got tell you just before i posted the last message
i could see a glass food mixer spinning the solution round with
magnets strapped to the sides

[oswaldonfire]

Yes, as long as the magnets are moving... but there is an easier way.

Remember when I mentioned a coil?

You are right about the coils. I will tell you that using a coil is the way to go. A SINGLE coil will provide for the entire process.

Sodium Nitrite, is an electrolyte, which would give us our sodium atoms, and dissolve safely with H2O.

it must be your basic generator then
its got magnets and coil

magnets strapped to the outside of mixer
metal coil attatched to the spinning rotor should produce
electricity enough
