Patrick, My post was prompted by my interest in anecdotal evidence of the functioning of the Joe cell. There is a school of thought that it is 'merely' an ultra-efficient low voltage electrolysis cell However, such a theory is at odds with reports of the actual physical functioning of t

To recap a bit. The distilled water in the 12 wall-plate cell (12 volt 10 floated plates)  gave a reading of about 2 milliamperes, adding a small amount of baking soda (NaHCO3) boosted the current to about 20 milliamperes which figures since no matter the amount of NaHCO3 in solution the pH lock

Blowing O2 over the cathode of a water electrolysis cell allows simultaneous production of OH at the anode and cathode. Or you can shut off the O2 and produce H2 at the cathode and OH at the anode.   Simultaneous HO-OH (~ 80% Hydrogen Peroxide) decomposition and H2 combustion makes an attractiv

Nice! How much does a used unit cost roughly Fred, and what's the valving system and the "pressure swing" for? If it is just a sieve letting smaller molecules through as they describe a simple bleeding of the O2-depleted air should work shouldn't it? (that's the way reverse osmosis systems work)
