I got email on the from a lurker about this too. Agree. In an
electrolytic cell, the cathode is the one connected to the negative
terminal of the power supply, and this is the business end for H2.
Yes, the cathode is supplied with negative voltage.

This was the point of trying a crude replication. It
requires nothing exotic to do this, and it appears that yes- there is
unusual heating with the US 5-cent coins as both anode and cathode,
with borax electrolyte, under AC power

The dissolving in salt water is a matter of course, actually. I used to
work on fixed sonar equipment. It's astounding - the first time - what
happens to dissimilar metals in salt water when there is a small current
flow for one reason or another. But quickly you just learn from your
elders: tell
