The key to MIT's discovery is a catalyst made from abundant materials that can make oxygen gas by passing an electrical current through water more effectively than previous methods.

I split my pants once. It wasn't solar. It was more LUNAR.

A MOON. :rotfl:

It had energy too ! I farted. :p

LOL:rotfl: Good one! Back in the day we used KOH (Potassium Hydroxide) for a catalyst to do this.

I don't even want to know! :o

Very skeptical.:roll:

I rarely read anything here that actually makes me laugh out loud. This is one of those times. I am home alone with my dog and she is looking at me with that look of "stop laughing and feed me".

Well done! :up:

No-no! I did not mean to produce farts. But to seperate the O2 from the hydrogen on board Subs.

Yep! I did a bad job in trying to convey what I meant to say. I need a beer to wake up.:up:

Its a breakthrough indeed and I look forward to more breakthroughs in storage.

Right now however, I still think it will be EEstor that finally breaks the back of the problem of storage for EVs.

In a few years ZENN cars will be all over the place.
