That's pretty funny. I had an AP Chemistry teacher put a decent size piece into a beaker with water.... that was fun 🤣
Lol, did it flirt with disaster? I recall a flaming piece of lithium shooting across the room and catching a cardboard box on fire. We stomped it out before the fire alarm went off and demanded that the show continue. In retrospect, I can only presume that my home state has a strong teachers' union.
The beaker exploded (he had it behind a plexiglass sheet) the fire alarm went off, it was a class to remember for sure!
Unfortunately, it is looking like iridium-based catalysts are going to be the only practical materials for electrochemical water splitting (the most likely method of large-scale hydrogen production). You see how expensive it is.
Yeah that's cool and all but I want this one too.

Forget Kitchen Aid.
Buy the best - hand built in good old Blighty
(And only has a paltry 10%tariff - bargain!)
(However I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that they use internationally sourced electronics - but shhh! - don’t tell the Donald)
Hmmmmm, their website shows a production workstation, carrying on the proud Blue Peter [*] tradition of cardboard and packing tape.....
And, my dear, their prices! About 4 times the equivalent of other reputable makes, 6-8 times the cheap stuff.
Yes officer, I will hand in my British passport. It's only a burgandy-coloured one, not the old proud royalblue.
[*] Children's TV programme heavily featuring DIY projects.
Yeah - but they are pretty much bullet proof* - we've had ours for something like 20-odd years - and they make great toast AND toasted sandwiches!
* I did have to replace the timer-switch a couple of years back - but it was incredibly easy to do - and all the essential bits (like heating elements) are replaceable.
-and of course they are design classics.

I second this. I've had mine for over 20 years and haven't replaced a thing. But I live safe in the knowledge that most, if not all, of the parts are replaceable if they do go. You pay more, but it's been one of the most satisfying purchases I've ever made in the sense it just does what it does and does it very well.
It'll probably break tomorrow now I've said this...
