Ron I had a look at the paper. There is not enough detail to make it worth the trouble. Like you , I find the amazing thing is that it works at all in the MHz range- even if it is only (today) a very inefficient electrolyzer. This seems to be a case of intense non-ionizing radiation being

Horace I suspect H2 and HOOH is produced. If that were true then the process is more efficient than it would appear, unless the energy content of the peroxide has been included.

Hi, all. What I am thinking of are free-floating self-contained micro-gravity permanent space colonies for quite small numbers of people -- ten-to hundreds of thousands of people. These colonies could be produced in space on a modular basis, and, in the end, inexpensively. Once people started
