This thing has nothing to do with the difference between AC and DC. It
has a lot to do with not understanding the simple physics of an
induction coil placed in any electric circuit.
Randall, you are quite correct, it is sheer bunk. All it does is replace
an ordinary electrode with a coil, and the claim is that this alone will
significantly increase the rate of electrolysis of water, due solely to
"magnetic shears and stresses on the molecule". I don't recall all the
numbers (been a long time since I did any of this sort of quantum
physics), but the magnetic moment of water isn't *that* high.
Can we kill this now?
