Look up an electrolysis chart, next get distilled water and a salt that has an anions and cations less reactive then OH- and H+, now you have a perfect mixture of H2 and O2 for that bomb you wanted (from sea wafted you are probably getting H2 an Cl2) (also a hand crank is not need, all you need is a power source)

But ya see, in mad max there is barley any water and it is set in a depleted sea with no water other than "morning dew", thus they just make gunpowder out of the ingredients to do so in the game, and if there was still seawater it will still be collected all into the strongholds and maybe gastown to let it's residences live, and they will hardly even know what half of this stuff is and magnets are definetly gone thus making it impossible to do any of that

06:50 - So, if the whole circuit was superconducting, there would be no resistance to turning the crank, as no "work" is being done heating up the wire? I think something else may be going on other than "work to heat wires". 🤔 Would it suddenly be free to move if it were all superconducting? EDIT: You could try using a super-cooled magnet sliding down a super-cooled tube to see if this is true. Eddy currents should flow zero resistance with superconductivity. Would be interesting to see the results.
@GumbootMan4 жыл бұрын
I believe the answer to this is: if all the conductive parts were superconducting, then there'd be no voltage and therefore no electrolysis. Remember V=IR and so if R=0 then V=0 too.

I'm no expert, and I don't know a ton about superconductors, but here's what I understand. The formula V= IR isn't true for superconductors. Think of superconductors as a circuit that allows current to flow without voltage (once current starts flowing it won't stop). Current needs to be flowing before the circuit is a true superconductor, and then it's value will stay constant. I think that the work in the video is proportional to the resistance, so I think that if he set it up right there wouldn't need to be any work done. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
@JimGriffOne4 жыл бұрын
Actually, comes to think about it, magnets have a harder time moving through superconductors due to flux pinning. But then what if the magnets were super-cooled as well as the superconductor? Hmmm... I've never seen that done before. I know magnets lose their magnetism when they get too hot but no idea whether it enhances the flux pinning effect when super-cooled.
