/// NO SPECIAL ELECTRODES OR HIGH VOLTAGE POWER
SUPPLY IS NEEDED -- ONLY ORDINARY WATER AND AN IMMERSION HEATER.
BY USING THE SETUP OF FIGURE 1 (WITH AN OHMIC HEATER ONLY)
STUDENTS WILL COLLECT DATA TO TRACE THE PINK CURVE (SEE FIGURE 2). ///
I read this and the preceding capitalized copy from Ludwik, and suddenly
realised
this would make a capital demonstration of the generation of energy from
thin air.
One would immerse a pressed metal powder cube in water, heat it to 95 degC
and then monitor its cooling rate.
Then, using the sintered powder as an electrode, one would impregnate
the cube with a gas, say hydrogen, by electrolysis and repeat the
cooling rate observations.
The cube , now provided with internal thermal impedance, would cool at a
different rate - one supposes, more slowly. If this were the case, how
easy
to argue that the cube
was demonstrating internal heat production....
