This produced apparent (but false) excess heating of up to 50% in several of my experiments. Is this analysis sensible? Not so sure that this analysis is precise - but apparent gain could be due to iron as a consumable and must be eliminated. If iron is leaching, then gain would be due as much to oxidation as a change in heat capacity (a bit of both). There are ways to check. Simplest: you could use a nickel anode to cross-check. or plate the stainless or a copper anode with nickel or Pt or Pd. For an complementary anode - which may be as active as a nickel cathode - success has been seen with what is called MMO or "mixed metal oxide" coated titanium anodes . which are used in swimming pools and spa chlorinators and not too dear. I see one on eBay now for 15 bucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MMO-coated-expanded-titanium-mesh-anode-2-by-6-/1710 58056592?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 <http://www.ebay.com/itm/MMO-coated-expanded-titanium-mesh-anode-2-by-6-/171 058056592?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27d3dacd90> &hash=item27d3dacd90 Jones
