Now what does the Aluminium have to do with it???? THAT is the Biggest
question! That website...
http://www.newscientist.com/ns/980228/ncatalyst.html
explains either cuprous oxide or a special molybdenum catalyst is used to
split the water into hydrogen and oxygen. Notice though that Positive
pressure
of 500 pascals will stop the reation... but what about a VACUUM!!! That
might
even increase the Hydrogen and oxygen rate. You know it also got me
thinking
that CREEK water of the Joe cell.... might just have certain minerals.. like
cuprous oxide or the special molybdenum catalyst in it beside several others
that even excellerates the hydrogen and oxygen generation. Also... another
observation... the Monotonic Hydrogen OR Oxygen maybe combines by the
same catalyst or adheres to certain metals like IRON engines! Thus Alumium
engines and cylinders and pistons must be used.
Very good scientific experiments can now be formed based on the above
and already done research. Building a small alumium engine and fitting a
Joe cell to this.... with different minerals in Distilled Water... is
Cutting Research!!
The slight potential of the battery on the Joe cell also maybe helping the
catalyst
to work more efficently. The charging of the catalyst brings to mind the
COLD FUSION setup... which uses copper, nickle, and paladium charged
to generate heat in a electrolytic solution.
So.. in short... THIS IS A CUTTING EDGE R&D program that industry is
probably
working hard at.. and Joe had stumbled on!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
