It seems almost to simple... then again.. simple is good!
So to replicate this we "only" need:
- Cobalt (surface) electrodes ?
- water with dissolved fosfor ?
- 1.2v <> 1.6v ?
Thats it?
About the solar part.. It could be a smokescreen as mentioned.. But hey .. this is MIT.. It cannot be that those questions aren't asked before.. I guess this was the first question of one of the students.. or even his wife ;-)
I was thinking .. Just a long shot.. But could it be that a solar panel delivers a different "kind" of power compared to conventional means of power supply? That somehow something is different with energy created by solar panels?
Anyway, if true, wonderful news!
it could be that simple, as in the clip I linked Nocera claims to have built the splitter & the materials came to a mere $28, this would suggest no or little electronics are involved, I have had a search for phosphate, cobalt to give it a try, but to be honest I am not to sure exactly what I am looking for.
Re your comments on solar electricity, I feel this is what Nocera wants them
to believe as a work around the fact that his discovery is possibly OU
