Evidently this is a crackpot "Green Site" with no connection whatever
to MIT, and likely no clue.

The quote attributed to MIT is possibly the opinion of some
undergraduate student, most likely a freshman who with his limited
knowledge of basic science, and who is very unlikely to ever graduate
from MIT.

More likely it is one of the traditional MIT student pranks, just like
calibrating the Harvard Bridge in units of "Smoots". (If you are
unfamiliar with the 'Smoot' distance mearurement unit, Google the
term.

Trust me in telling you, I cannot imagine anyone, anyone at MIT
believing in any magic additive that will modify Faraday's rules of
electrolysis.
