RE: TC for Electrolysis?


If you try this, be careful of mixing hyrogen gas with really long sparks. Can
be somewhat detrimental to yr health :)

Hi Mike, 
Yes, I was thinking of electrolysis of water to get H2 & O2 gases.  Do you 
think a TC can do this?  Maybe with just one wire from a bipolar coil? 
Thanks - Mike
