yes electrolysis can split water into hydrogen and oxygen but once the split occurs the oxygen and hydrogen atoms go to the anode and cathode individually..Now, after the split is done using thermal decomposition, even with small current, the atoms will go in there directions to the anode and...
Probably il make the separation through electrolysis. I don't know what anode and cathode i will use yet, but i will def let you know when i figure that out.
We haven't decided on what type of vessel to contain the H2O in yet, but we are counting for an 80% heat loss. With all the losses at such high temperatures, rather then working out every loss, we concluded on a 20% efficiency.
Its not the number which water dissociates, different percentages of H2O dissociate at various temperatures. 3000 is my goal, as i can get a decent 40% decomposition.
So for my semester project, I was given something that most scientists think is "impossible". Using numerous parabolic mirrors, i need to focus the reflected light onto a mutual point, and achieve a temperature of about 3000*C. Why 3000? That is when thermal decomposition of H2O occurs. What i...
