Comments requested on viability of "boyancy generator"

[Mike M]

  I'd love to see the Tesla work if anyone comes across it!

  I wouldn't begin to suggest this necessarily for individual use (although a nice deep backyard swimming pool might work for a concept model if you dump enough salt in it ;-). (or rig a J-tube "trap" to contain the electrolyte and electrodes away from the fresh water when it is operating, via a "gas gap".)

I was thinking more on the scale of a major national project placing generators offshore on platforms like oil dereks where the ocean is deep enough and then delivering the H2 to a pipeline and the excess electricity to the national electric grid via underwater cables.

If it works, not only would we have unlimited nearly free electricity, we could be burning cheap, clean, renewable H2 in our cars and homes some day instead of Natural gas and gasoline.
