Burning water is easy

I just had an idea, create hydrogen from water using electrolysis and store in in a tank or something… I know that it’s been done before, but I’m going to hook up some graphite electrodes to my old rail gun power supply…

It’s been running for 5 minutes and my eyes feel like I’ve been opening them underwater in a public swimming pool, and it also smells like it… I think I have successfully created chlorine and hydrogen… Now what should I use it for…

CPR

Mostly because of my parents, I have attended a CPR course kinda thing… I get the certificate on Wednesday…

I don’t know what the fuss is about that it is supposed to be able to “bring anyone back”, it’s more of a “keep the body alive so we can get the ambulance over here.”

Type of Arrest Return of circulation Survival
Witnessed In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest 48% 22%
Unwitnessed In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest 21% 1%
Bystander Cardiocerebral Resuscitation 40% 6%
Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation 40% 4%
No Bystander CPR (Ambulance CPR) 15% 2%
Defibrillation within 3-5 minutes 74% 30%

I hope I would never have to use it though but I might save someones life some day!

Learn CPR!
