This whole thing sounds fishy. First of all, the patent was assigned
to the U.S. government and never belonged to this fellow. Second, the
patent expired long ago and is in the public domain. Also, the
patent mentions *near* superconductivity. So why would he be
demanding big bucks and be

This is an example of how a bunch of really quite intelligent people,
i.e., the people on this list, can launch off into something with
potentially disastrous results. What if the people on this list had
actual political power? What if they could implement this project on

But Robin, that's exactly the point. Unless you reduce the potassium ions to
metal, at least temporarily, you will achieve no concentration of potassium
ions at the cathode any higher than that of the whole of the electrolyte.
Otherwise, as far as I can see, no manipulation of voltage,

Hi Robin,
I assume you mean potassium carbonate in an aqueous solution. If that is the case, you won't get any potassium metal at all. You need a molten non-aqueous potassium compound in order to do this, such as potassium chloride.

In California we have ethanol mixed with our gasoline in amounts which vary with the
seasons, supposedly to control smog. The average ethanol content in California
gasoline is 5.7%. That's a lot of ethanol for fuel already.

But let's quit fooling
on this principle, using some sort of cellulose flour made from garbage and
agricultural waste. Not likely, I guess.
