Thoughts
Problem: Copper wire will corrode when the electrolysis reaction occurs.
Solution: Replace copper wire with graphite or another conductor (tests provided) to allow for the reaction to proceed at ease.
- Two 12-volt batteries (or a bunch of 9 volt batteries) will be the basis of the energy for the electrolysis reaction. This should be sufficient enough for the reaction.
- How big should the submarine be?
- What materials should it be made out of?
- Aluminum Sheets
- Acrylic sheet for "window"
- How should the volume of gas be measured?
- What conductive material should the wires be made of to be the most efficient?
- Test reaction of each metal in the lab for greatest efficiency.
- Reaction happens, gas volume measured, THEN what happens to the gas? How is it released?
- In progress
