Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered: Just a thought I have here. I have no idea of the feasability of it though. What if you were to measure the mass of the electrodes before and after generation, or posibly the mass of exactly 1 liter of water before and after. The difference in mass, all be it, micrograms would be equivalant to the ppm? This would only work if the process did not generate enough heat to
drive water off though. James Houston-McMillan. "M. G. Devour" wrote: > > Shouldn't there be a way to perform some regular wet chemistry test > > to determine PPM?
