I completely missed it when i originally looked on my phone. Tried to look up "Advanced Energy Materials" and had no luck. Only found it was linked later when i was at my PC. Figured you may have had the same trouble i had :)

>I sure hurt my head trying to parse all of that.

Ditto. Much of it is well past my understanding without spending the night looking up a heap of different side topics to get an idea on what's going on.

"Our investigations reveal a further dominant mechanism is at play: in the same way that the extraordinary surface acceleration ( m s−2)) (Figure 1b,c), local evanescent electric field ( V m−1)) and pressure (–1 MPa)) associated with the SRBW-forcing has been shown previously to drive free radical and proton formation,[31, 32] we show from an examination of the interfacial water structure via Raman spectroscopy, evidence for the disruption of the tetrahedral hydrogen bond water network of the neutral electrolyte."

???

We need an AMA with someone involved. :)

The cost savings with electrolyte and electrode i get. Sounds promising by itself. Would like some more info on gas volume produced per unit of energy input as a total system.

Nice one! A least you noticed early enough :)

The I guess more important figure:

Combined with the cheaper metals used it looks like an interesting development.
