But if you are going to light it, may as well mix the O and the H but a nice pop.

Mix of H and O that is nice and explosive. More fun than using DC electrolysis. But if you used a model train transformer you probably made browns too.

Yes very slow. I used the transformer from my model trains as the power source, and I was ok with just setting it up and walking away while it slowly filled a balloon with gas. The biggest annoyance for me was not the speed of the process, but the fact that my electrodes kept corroding away. They were made of balls of tin foil....If I was cleverer back then I would have yanked a big bolt out of the garage and used that instead. I sure hope I can get my kids to play with stuff like this. Even if the only incentive is to make stuff go boom, I think a few singed eyebrows are worth the learning. ------ Original Message ------ From: "That One Guy /sarcasm" <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> To: "af@afmug.com" <af@afmug.com> Sent: 12/5/2016 10:57:03 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 1000hp, 1,200mile range truck - hydrogen no, chuck, drain cleaner and foil is something you put in pop bottles and throw On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 9:32 AM, <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: Quick way to make hydrogen is to put some foil in a water solution of sodium hydroxide (lye) drain cleaner.

Is zinc still a thing in battery production? That could be a good secondary market for battery recyclers. I used hydrocloric acid because i had it, but sulfuric would have been more efficient, so the sla recycling could be combined with the other battery recycling to generate hydrogen. my method created a shit ton of toxic byproduct I had to disappear, but i assume that could be addressed at scale On Sun, Dec 4, 2016 at 9:04 PM, That One Guy /sarcasm <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> wrote: Interesting perspective I can see the cord cutting component of consumer demand putting it on the purchased service from a provider, but I just cant wrap my head around government rebates on "green" tech being a component of pure capitalism since it demands that unwilling participants kick into the kitty for individuals to gain benefits, that sounds more socialist, even if it only benefits those wealthy enough to buy green tech On Sun, Dec 4, 2016 at 8:26 PM, Josh Reynolds <j...@kyneticwifi.com> wrote: "just like cord cutting, and all the newest bestest greenest, efficientest, its always on somebody elses back" - capitalism Although you could replace from cord cutting to efficientest with "everything" and it would be "samesies" On Dec 4, 2016 5:53 PM, "That One Guy /sarcasm" <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> wrote: capitalism has no mandate to offset others costs through forcible taxation that im aware. unless we are talking about the exchange of responsibilities via voluntary taxation of mileage in exchange for access to group resources like federal taxes. still not sure id call that strict capitalism On Sun, Dec 4, 2016 at 5:26 PM, Josh Reynolds <j...@kyneticwifi.com> wrote: You realize what you just described in the strictest sense is called capitalism, right?

Depending on how far you can go just on batteries and how long it takes to recharge on solar, you could pace your travels to be darn near free driving. The one thing that governments are starting to struggle with now is the road taxes that are technically owed. Right now they collect it as the gas/fuel pump for every gallon of fuel you purchase. I know in NY state technically if you own an electric car you are supposed to calculate your mileage driven on electric and then enter that on your tax return to calculate how much you owe in road taxes that you did not pay at a gas pump. I am sure that is honestly reported by citizens just like they are supposed to report all of their on line purchases that did not have NY state sales taxes collected.......
