Reading on Wikipedia about electrolysis of water, I find that people
use platinum or stainless steel as electrodes. However, on the anode,
if a reactive metal is used (stainless steel) the electrode gets
depleted. Since platinum is too expensive, do people use graphite for
on a production scale or is platinum the only viable option? |

The person who can answer your question is your Chemistry
book, look under Electron charge for each metal, Try to
understand "what makes Electrons move easier".. Then you will
be able to determine the best metal.
I must warn you, that you will waste your times and resources.
Hydrogen Generator will not work, you will end up putting more
power in the water than you will get out of it. |

If you do not understand exergy, you SHOULD NOT
be pisssing around with electrolysis.
If you do understand exergy, you WILL NOT
be pissing around with electrolysis.
Either way, the outcome is not the slightest in doubt.
Is running my car with lights on wasting gasoline?
The alternator seems to turn whether or not I turn on the radio, wipers,
etc.
If not, aren't these H2O scams just using wasted alternator output? |

Hey Folks, What are you arguing about? The Dom light has so
little or no effect at all, not worthy to mention, your front
lights have some effect, but the one that affects your engine
and alternator badly on Nissan is your Rear defrost heater.
I monitored car while it's running on the road, don't ask me
how I did it, because I can do anything a normal person won't
do. Also, on German Car, Rear Heater don't seem to affect the
alternator much, it all depends on Electrical load, in turn
Yes you will waste some Gasoline. |

Certainly.
Where do you think the light energy came from?

But the mechanical load created by the alternator varies with the output
current drawn. The more current used, the more load on the engine, and
the more gasoline destroyed.

No, the H20 scams are just using an alternator as a DYNAMIC BRAKE that
DESTROYS gasoline. Virtually all of the alternator output gets burned up
as otherwise unproduced heat.

Part of the 2% that the alternator is reducing the engine
by.

yes, but mostly never above 2 percent worth
of the Horsies.
You might draw more off by using "starter draw"
type voltage needs but I would think that would top about
5 hp at most only during such nastie draws of power.

Yes making hydrogen is kinda silly I have recently figured out.
Much better to use the electricity directly on what you need it for
