It’s a good point. Electrolysis produces hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode, making separation easy. But columnar separation may also be efficient, as the hydrogen will easily float on the heavier oxygen. Not an expert, though.
- samatman 4y agoStoichiometric mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen are terrifying to work with. No thanks.
- ncmncm 4y agoSo, you separate it while it is still in the water.
- samatman 4y agoHow? What's your detailed suggestion for doing this.
- ncmncm 4y ago"Membranes, my boy. Membranes!" I just looked it up. Hydrogen is insoluble in water. Oxygen is quite soluble. So, circulating water through, the hydrogen will bubble out, while the oxygen will be carried away with the water. So, maybe no semipermeable membranes needed.
