re: #500 LudwigVanQuixote

Thanks. Some chemistry I am looking up online is seeing if it is easier to split the H from methane or oil than water and grab the carbon as a solid, as in a fuel cell. I really prefer hydrogen to the other fuel gases. Carbon embrittles platinum. Bad for jewelry. No acetylene at our shop at all.

As you know I’m a layman in these things. It always seemed odd to me that nuclear reactors are just used to make heat. Not electrons directly. I’m sure that’s laughable really, but that is one fancy machine to just boil water.
