[NewCandle] Rolled Al hydrolysis

[Jones Beene]

Hey Nick,

... is it unshredded rolls in alkaline?

BTW ... in a related vein. Just thought-up a wild 
Maxwell's-Demon-electrolyzer concept.

Two rolls of Al-foil, jelly-rolled into a cylinder but layers never 
touching, placed in an electrolye. Though the two layers are uncharged, 
there is a Marx-type diode and cap amplifyer in series between the two.

Will random current/voltage variations in the electrolyte be amplified 
enough to overcome the diode back voltage and drastically increase the 
H2 flow over a single roll ?

Doubt it, but it is a "new candle" kind of thing ... so what the heck....
