I am just digging around for some new and fresh ideas on how to increase the production of hho via electrolysis.
Reading through most of these forum postings it is clear that stainless steel is recommended as the best and “cheapest†option for electrodes. Other postings also recommended more exotic materials like Tungsten etc.
My question is:
Is there anybody on here that tried Mercury?

The use of Mercury would concern me very much in the area of toxicity. I could just imagine liquid mercury bubbling vigorously from the gases produced around it, vaporizing into tiny droplets, and ejecting upward into whatever vessel that the hydrogen and oxygen are destined for. This would mean that vaporized mercury would collect in these destinations, perhaps become airborne and fall into any liquid runoff or be ingested by breathing it into a person's lungs. This is not good and can cause serious chronic ailments. High temperatures would make this even worse.
Look up the toxicity of mercury and you will see what I mean.
I suppose now that we are stuck with using CFL bulbs in the United States we will eventually all develop some type of mercuric poisoning due to the inevitability of breaking them.
Hi ResinRat2
Thanks for your comments and warning to the dangers of Mercury
I feel it is always good to invoke some sort of a discussion for people to share their ideas and concerns.
