Nonsense.

You are mistaken,I have provided the math.

Again you are mistaken.

Thought you said it was law, now you've downgraded it to theorem, very

That you know of, all my efforts to put you straight are in vain. Water
contains energy, else how is it made?

Hell no. I am grateful for my detractors since they have sent me scurrying
in pursuit of answers.

At last, a comment from Don that I agree with. Faradays laws are sacrosanct.
Are you aware of the Wein Effect - the means by which Ohms Law BREAKS! ?.
The trouble, though, with Faradays Law of electrolysis is that at peak
efficiencies it is endothermic however this state cannot be attained for
any length of time, the electrolyte cools down too much and the voltage has
to be increased awhile to warm it up.

Muses ain't facts.

Following the logic of the subject feild, it is better to try and fail than
to NOT try and succeed. Indeed all of the work I have put into this project
has taught me NOT to stop at the first explaination that appears plausible.
I was roundly criticised for asserting that Ohms Law breaks, until I
explained the Wein Effect and then everybody shut up. Good eh!
