The downfalls of conventional electrolysis - and how to fix them

[oswaldonfire]

Jikwan - you are correct. That's the answer you are looking for.

Compututor - you said:

Atlantex suggested metalic powder,
sounds silly at first, right?

He is on the right track. What kind of surface area does a powder have? What makes the powder have such a huge surface area??? And knowing that, how can we increase it even further?

You also said:

(Solid particles suspended into boundary layers by resonance in fluids)
would create "Virtual Plates".

Replace the word "virtual" with "liquid". And trying to arrange the particles into "plates" would be too much work.. and is not necessary. Why not just let the "particles" be evenly disbursed within the solution?

This will also work with other metals - Potassium, for example. Is anyone starting to see the connections yet?

lithium ?..........temperature disasscociation....at a molecular level???...just thinking out loud

For now, let's focus on the metal SODIUM. It will also work with potassium and maybe even other metals, such as lithium.. but let's keep it simple for now. Sodium is the metal of choice. We have already established that we want to create a "liquid" electrode. We have also established that a single sodium atom will provide the greatest surface area possible.

So.. what's the most logical step to take next? Fill a container with a zillion sodium atoms. Bingo. Problem solved.

BUT - a single sodium atom is so reactive that it will immediately combine with the water in an endothermic reaction to produce Na+ and OH- ions. Na is a metal. Metals are affected by magnetic induction. Sodium is affected by magnetic induction....

However, let's consider a single atom of Na reacting. No explosion - there isn't enough heat to ignite the hydrogen and the surrounding SOLUTION  absorbs the heat.

What word is spelled right out in bold letters? It's the key. It's made from a common electrolyte.

Are ions affected by magnetic induction? You tell me.

I've practically given it away now... it's really very simple.

what? dump a kilo of sodium bicarbonate into a litre of water
and position magnets around in certain places.....and it
would give off hydrogen?

might have to be pretty strong magnets...electromagnets
