The electrolysis rig seems a bit ridiculous, since it generates a bunch of flammable gas you have to deal with. A big resistive load for testing stuff seems pretty normal though.
- amluto 2y agoNot just flammable hydrogen gas — you are likely to generate chlorine gas, potentially in large amounts.
- thfuran 2y agoTrue, if it's very salty.
- typh0n 2y agoIt's not electrolysis, it's more like electrode boiling.
- cellularmitosis 2y agoIt is absolutely electrolysis. You can try it yourself with a battery and dish of water.
- typh0n 2y agoIt's absolutely not. I already tried it myself with a 3MW generator and a giant tank of saltwater.
- jml7c5 2y agoThe fun part: it does both!
- typh0n 2y agoI see your point, though we barely ever had to top the tank up with water or salt. The amount of gas created was minimal, at least with our setup - admittedly not as fancy as a battery and a dish of water ;)
