I expect that Don W. would be as able to explain the 2nd law of thermo,
as he is able to explain the lack of WMD in Iraq.

But Don W, welcome back.

Fred, have you any experience with radioactive electrolites?

I only ask this, cos I am planning a study whereby I compare NaOH vs
Na-22-OH as electrolites.

You appear to have the background to belittle this.

My thesis is that the Na-22 will provide a substantial current increase,
and hence power increase, compared to the Na (23).

What do you think?
