Gregoriev Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Electrolysizer? That's the word I have always been using....hate to find out I was saying something stupid all this time. try googleing electrolysis and water, should be some commercial products that come up. I bet that they would be called by the right thing.
raivo Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Hoffman apparatus is classic device to explore water electrolysis.
H2SO4 Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 is the hoffman device the thing with two columnn, each with platinum electrodes, and a bridge in between them. The whole thing is made of glass.
Mendelejev Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 is the hoffman device the thing with two columnn, each with platinum electrodes, and a bridge in between them. The whole thing is made of glass. Yes indeed !! With two taps, one for hydrogen and one for oxygen. Beautiful apparatus, but expensive
Bluenoise Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 electrolytic cell? For some reason that sounds very correct.
jdurg Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I always just called it a water splitting thing-a-ma-bob.
