to Daniel_G’s post in the thread Plan to dump iron into the oceans to capture carbon.. Weather is not climate. The Hunga Tonga undersea volcanic explosion increased total atmospheric water vapor by 10%. That’s a helluva lot of a GHG that is 10x more potent than CO2. This came at a most inopportune time as a rare three plus year La Niña… -

He was discussing a question. I'm not sure there was any "hypothesis" to be disproved.

A proper picture of the zinc plated counter electrodes.
After 48H the carbon anode had lost a kit of material.
The carbon anode, a shadow of its former self.
This is the nickel mesh post-hydrogenation...
Everything gets dried overnight at 60C...
Apologies… -

I have estimated that the steam power generation cycle will be sustainable (without input from conventional energy) if COP > 5.0. this may require several years development. But, in near future, maybe within 5 years, a significant energy saving of… -

jox reacted with
to Alan Smith’s post in the thread Frank Gordon / Harper Whitehouse - the LEC -collected papers. I am reverting bak to using Ni Foam hydrogenated (no co-dep) in H2Co3 electrolte for 48 hours as the working electrode (WE) and as mentioned above Zinc-plated steel counter electrodes.
This is the Ni foam hydrogenation set-up - carbon anode.
This is the… -

jox reacted with
to Alan Smith’s post in the thread Frank Gordon / Harper Whitehouse - the LEC -collected papers. I have plated the counter-electrodes with Zinc. Very simple, the electrolyte is a weak solution of Zinc Chloride and Acetic Acid in DW. Takes around 30 minutes - plated on the right, un-plated on the left. -

It is not too difficult to build a high voltage probe: just use a compensated voltage divider, featuring a high voltage rated resistor on the high voltage side. Since the voltage is not so high (few kVs), there is no need to use GOhm resistors and so… -

Hmm, you gave me some work here

My personal purchases are really meant to compensate stuff I didn't already have, and to aid me on trying to put together a test setup the way I imagined it. It is not meant to be at all… -

Quick status update for who is curious: unfortunately progress has been slow, very few hours spent in last months. My hope was by the time of ICCF25 publications are out, I'd have a setup ready to receive any last minute modification and produce the… -

This the surface, post plating and post hydrogenation. Looks pretty brown and boring, but I think I need to go dig in the camera settings to correct that - visually under the microscope this is brilliant silver. More of these plates are on the way, but… -

jox reacted with
to Alan Smith’s post in the thread Frank Gordon / Harper Whitehouse - the LEC -collected papers. The cathode on the left was my first attempt at nickel plating, the nickel deposit on the LHS is way too heavy, so I diluted the 'Watts' plating solution 50/50 to reduce its conductivity and lowered the voltage and current as mentioned above. The result… -

If you mean HCl that will certainly remove rust, but I prefer to use greener chemicals like citric acid- which is also easy to buy at high purity. For degreasing, acetone works very well but often contains quite a high percentage of water, which is… -

But I did some work on steel plate today, as well as making up the Watts-type plating solution. This steel plate has been cleaned /etched in citric acid and the abraded ready for a final clean… -

jox reacted with
to Alan Smith’s post in the thread Frank Gordon / Harper Whitehouse - the LEC -collected papers. The big gamble is whether the LEC chemistry works for me. Not really been done before - acid-etched and pre-loaded (hydrogen) mild-steel plates co-depped with Ni sounds promising, but may not work at all. And nobody built a stack before. -
