It does look like a chili pot that ain't moonshine coming off nor is co2 ( where is the carbon coming from ) do the same thing by adding salt . I don't think naoh is developed the electrolyte when drained doesn't react with aluminum . The current goes from 1 amp to 15 amps after the bicarb is added to 20 amps as it heats ,runs good t 150 to 172 degrees F .The only reason I am posting these results is the possibility of powering a buch of stuff you name it ,torches , heaters , water heaters etc as well as vehicles and generators. I'll just post some results .The power figures I need more time to collect This might be a little hair brained .I 'm pretty crusty and I really don't care some do and don't some pay If I can make this work safely breakout the beans . I don't get enough wind to work with I do well with solar . Brings up the bank in a few hours and we don't drain it at night . We drive a lot and use a lot of wood in the winter the idea of on demand fuel from electrologists is very compelling .If it doesn't fit the bill in the forum it's not a big deal to me I can refrain . I'm heading out on a 500 mile work related drive tomorrow . The first 150 miles looks good the chili pot makes a good anode . The all thread cathode rolls the gas off and you can see the gas run up the side of the container I mean chili pot .I kinda like that . Needs a dryer for the gas I'm not going to use a bubbler just another vessel for a dryer and a check valve before the intake . I'll post the total fuel mileage and water used and average amperage And leave it at that . Then move on to a torch and water heater adaptations. Oh Cisco Oh poncho .

The carbon would come from the bicarbonate(NaHCO3). I'm still pretty sure that CO2 should come off, but maybe not if it doesn't react with aluminum. I'll see if I can test it and see whats up. I got some Stainless steel(just need to cut it at work or school). I'll turn it on for a while then check its Ph or atleast its "relitive" Ph to what it started at. So if its higher after the run that something is being changed to lower the Ph.
Good luck,
-Randy
