Apropos electrolysis and water, way back in the day in high-school, my chemistry teacher showed us how to make Hydrogen peroxide using electrolysis. It was crude and not very efficient, and wasteful of resources.
Today, not so much. https://link.springer.com/article/10...A1017588221369 Under controlled conditions, other products are also possible. I suspect that is what Tennant was doing. Side Note: This teacher partnered with several of the history teachers. He had us collect 'night soil' to make gunpowder when we were studying the Civil War, we had to learn the 'secret code' whereby one could identify an American anywhere, any time (this _was_ the 1960s, remember), and we had to learn the ten (10) reindeer. In any case, a lot of very basic and very useful chemistry and applied science has stuck with me over the years. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

It's where lye and chlorine bleach come from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process and has been an industrial process since the 1890s. I'm sure there's bunches of patents... |

Not really. All water has contaminants. The water he has mentioned was fresh water with more or less contaminants. Still, it wouldn't be described as electrolysis of (salt)water if the interesting part was the contaminants. It would be described as the interesting bits dissolved in water. Are you trying to be stupid today? |

To the extent that I take any time at it at all, I still wonder if Ricky is any of these: 12 years old, or less. This would cover it all. Deep into the spectrum. However, these sorts tend to be savants at something. Really that ignorant, or just tweaking us. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
