Plain old sea water
Plain old sea water. I can likely get the Aluminum and magnesium no problem the hardest thing for me to get is the Plain old sea water. Isn't that so weird how something that is so abundant is so hard for someone to get. I live almost in the middle of Canada, would I get the sea water without driving 2,000 km to the ocean?
Not sure you can buy sea water on E-Bay maybe that is why the system never took off?

Yes the Al and the Mg are both used up in the process, although it happens quite slowly. The use of reasonably thick plates would be recommended in a full scale unit.
The best part about this system is that the electrolite is plain old sea water. Pacheco tested a unit that was designed for his boat. He installed an inlet that allowed sea water streight from the ocean to flow through the cells, continually replenishing the supply as it was used. In this situation water is no longer the fuel, but the annodes are.![]()
