An examination of #Israel’s policy in the #Gaza Strip and its horrific outcomes, together with statements by senior Israeli politicians and military commanders about the goals of the attack, leads to the unequivocal conclusion that Israel is taking coordinated, deliberate action to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip. In other words: Israel is committing #genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
"Two leading human rights organisations based in Israel, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights, say #Israel is committing #genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza and the country’s western allies have a legal and moral duty to stop it.
[...] The two groups said Israel had targeted civilians in Gaza only because of their identity as Palestinians over nearly two years of war, causing severe and in some cases irreparable damage to Palestinian society."
President Trump gave a stark warning to European leaders over mass migration into the continent. READ MORE: https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/art...

MAGA: Making Animosity Globally Ascend MAGA: Misguided Actions Generate Adversaries
Again, problem isn't tariffs per se, but the incredibly imbecilic execution. After USA spent about a century coercing the current "free trade", to push its less desired jobs abroad with outsourcing, etc leading to dismantling of labor rights and protections worldwide, through its enforcement and wreckers like WTO, IMF, etc but also actual wars and coups worldwide, to get situations like NAFTA where USA's corporations and similar get the profits while the neighbors provide the labor, the Banana Wars (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana…), Pinochet, the Operation Gladio coups, etc, etc, all to force the globalization which devastates workers in especially but not only Southeast Asia with sweatshops and environmental devastation only have the output shipped worldwide for even more environmental impact, all to maximize profits for USA corporations like Nike, Coka Cola, Kraft, etc, BUT, this isn't like a common gradual push to restore buying local for union rights, the environment and so on, but is instead shock treatment, bullying and aggression, presented with aid of presumably intentional lies (Singapore's tariffs are AFAIK 0 instead of 10 and EU's around 1 instead of 39). There is NO time table to build prepared capacity in USA to produce what's now rariffed, so will just shock boost domestic stagflation.
I made a bit of list for you poor folks in USA likely to be hit by Trump's tariffs, what I would personally prioritize getting in approximate order of necessity when economy dries up or prices gallop away:
rice (both whole grain/brown for fiber and nutrition while also white for ease of use and price) dried/canned beans and similar (red/green lentils, kidney) salt (essential for body) cooking oil (canola) canned tomatoes (base for many soups/sauces) pasta (spaghetti, etc, preferably whole grain) rolled oats (quick food with low own sugar) low complexity sugar like dried fruits (raisins, date paste, dried apricots), plain sugar or honey spices (peppers, dried granulated/powdered garlic, etc by taste, for morale) nut butters (peanut, cashew, etc, quick high energy and protein) canned/pickled veggies (choose by price and taste, for variety) flours (if you plan on baking: also dried yeast) coffee/tea (sometimes a pick-me-up is needed) soaps (liquid, as generic as possible to enable same being used for body, floors, dishes, laundry) multivitamins (to attempt compensating for potential lack of fresh veggies and variety) with in particular B12
I am NOT a doctor. I have, however, gone 6 months on no income, then 6 again just after and had other similar experiences, sooo… I'm sharing my experience.
As economists and journalists I've seen so far have been just unable to find any real basis for Trump's claimed external tariffs being "responded to", mostly describing them with terms like "magic" or "apparently unfounded", here is the first person professionally within the relevant fields I've seen who claims to have a solid explanation for how the numbers were made, either astonishingly incompetently or more likely plain deceptively, from James Surowiecki (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Su…).
White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai claims that "No we literally calculated tariffs and non tariff barriers", while in its claims Trump-administration has reclassified EU's VAT (value-added tax) as a non-tariff barrier while that is just not true, VAT isn't a trade barrier but instead an evolved form of what in USA is "sales tax" mess which isn't mentioned in the other direction by Trump and representatives.
The exception seems to be when a place has no/very low trade with USA, so their crazy calculation can't be reasonably applied, they just declare 10% anyway, like e.g. Heard Island and McDonald Islands with population total of 0, except for Russia which isn't included and they claim it's because Russia is sanctioned so trade is low, but that didn't stop them from putting other places on the list.
Trump's tariffs keep reminding me of two other events when rulers compensated for field-relevant incompetence through increased authoritarianism instead of through decentralization so that those with the relevant competence, those doing the actual things such as farmers, factory workers, etc could with their deep knowledge decide how they should do things. It reminds me of the "Great Leap Forward" which leaped the people into the "Great Chinese Famine" and it reminds me of the first five-year plan of the "Soviet" Union imposed by Stalin resulting in the Soviet famine which included the Holodomor and similar devastation elsewhere.

Again, import tariffs are not "paid by other countries", they are added to the thing's cost at the border, so unless some corporation decides to be nice and give of their profit margin (hah!) that means the tariff is aimed at the domestic populace and WILL disproportionately impact the low income people for whom the price increase will be a larger proportion of their meager income for things they can't just "deprioritize", like basic foods, while the opulent can just decide to buy a yacht fewer that year.
Long term, some production may move to surrender to Trump's aggression (horrible idea, considering Trump's instability) but for important stuff like food, time it would take to mass-establish new farms at required quantity is definitely more than one season (often = year) I'd say and in some cases some products just actually can not be produced in USA so in such cases the economic inflation was just drastically increased because Trump has more experience of bankruptcies than understanding of tariffs.
Local production IS good, environmentally, income equality, labor rights, etc, but it CAN NOT be implemented at immediate whim of a decree. It is just not even theoretically possible, even if everyone in the entire world wanted it, which due to Trump's rhetoric is absolutely not the case now.

I feel like a lot of people have misunderstood who is the initial and most harmed target of Trump's tariffshit. It is not other countries. Other countries don't "pay tariffs" when it's USA's import tariffs. It is only indirectly, secondarily corporations and they can move to avoid being targeted (absolutely shouldn't, because Trump is unreliable and if you give in to extortion...) or shift their focus domestically or at least outside USA. That discourse focus is on this aspect is likely due to Trump's presentation as such but primarily because major news agencies, especially Reuters after being bought, has higher focus on finance-market news than on other news because finance-market organizations and gamblers pay more for news.
The initial and most impacted are instead the regular people in USA and the poorer the more impacted. The tariffs are added to a product's cost at the border, so unless some corporation feels like decreasing their profit ≥10%, then the cost for the people inside USA will increase. Most people can't just move to where they're not hit and can't just "focus" on elsewhere as corporations can. The less income a person has, the more of their income goes to mandatory things like food, which they can't just deprioritize because much of it just isn't grown in USA so gets hit.
Since we know that big charts held up for the announcement and all related claims of listed "Tariffs Charged to the U.S.A. Including Currency Manipulation and Trade Barriers" as well as the resulting claim of the tariffshit being "U.S.A. Discounted Reciprocal Tariffs" are just plain incorrect especially since we know how the first category of numbers were actually calculated (trade deficit for stuff from USA for each country, divided by the import from the country, divided by 2… which is in no way a summation of tariffs but a nonsense formula doubly indicating USAians want to and can buy more things from elsewhere than people elsewhere want to and can buy things made in USA, so USA could help those people up instead of tearing everyone down), therefore it is actual journalistic misconduct to NOT insert a notice in every report involving those claims, at first mention, that they are incorrect and a lie to the people in USA and the world. Doing otherwise is false information deliberately and covertly spread in order to influence public opinion and obscure the truth, the actual (Merriam-Webster) definition of disinformation. A journalist doing known disinformation is not a journalist, but either a propagandist or disqualifyingly incompetent and should not be allowed to continue as journalist.
It would be... interesting to see what would happen if say for example the EU as well as the countries Taiwan, Japan, UK, Canada, Switzerland, etc all declared that unless Trump stops the acts of aggression against them, then they will just stop lending money to fund the aggressor government of USA en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National… and refuse renewing already held "national debt" of USA.
Remember when the WTO, which traditionally has been USA's enforcer to impose "free trade" beneficial to USA to the detriment of everyone else pretty much worldwide, when they in 2007 shocked the world by ruling for the little guy instead of for the abusive bully? When they ruled that because USA had violated Antigua's free trade rights, therefore Antigua got the right to retaliate by ignoring "intellectual property" (allowed to "pirate" music, movies, software, etc) from USA at a total of up to $21 million a year (if not, here wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu…reuters.com/article/technology… ya go)? Well, Antigua apparently didn't what they were allowed to but instead wanted to just get reuters.com/article/us-usa-ant… paid, so USA just didn't pay, because bullying, but that's beside the point.
The point being... Hmm, wonder if something similar could be done related to Trump's current tariffshit? I bet that if a whole bunch of ignoring the "intellectual property" of USA corporations would be actually made legal, for like $billions annually, in say for example all of the EU, then some very influential corporations and their bribery, uhmm, I mean lobbyists, would probably stop backing Trump's dragging USA down the drain of authoritarianism. That would be interesting.

A sidenote: The word "tariffshit" is intentional, newly compounded by me and intentionally ambiguous. Depending on how you feel about it you can break it down as the first part being either "tariffs" or it can be "tariff", with the second part as a consequence being two quite different words, which you can see yourself... 😉
As far as I can tell through several search engines it may have been used as such maybe 3 times elsewhere online by others excluding typos and variants disambiguified and therefore not making my point. I just wanted to clarify that it's not a typo on my part, but an intentional statement. I don't do tyops. 😛
Because I had missed it, here for a more depressing-comedy-based coverage of Trump's tariffshit is the latest empisode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: youtube.com/watch?v=5zQ0WewZY5…
The system they are describing as "decades and decades old" and similar has been imposed by primarily USA since 80 years, increasingly latest 60 years and very aggressively latest 30 years, specifically to force others to become producers lower paid producers with less labor, etc rights for the purpose through that exploitation generating more profits for USA-based multinational corporations while keeping on enabling the disproportionately luxurious median standard of living for people in USA but also enabling the further crushing of labor rights in USA and further impoverishment of the working class in USA, which is why anarchists and other leftists militantly opposed the globalization with e.g. huge protests against WTO in Seattle 1999 (successfully en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Sea…) and so very many others (e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template…). That globalization is still killing us, but a reversal even at collective global consensus full speed would take years instead of Trump's demanded hours to months and Trump's isn't intended to end globalization but will worsen exploitation of most impoverished, both at home and abroad.
John Oliver discusses the ongoing chaos surrounding Donald Trump and tariffs, why the past week could have lasting repercussions, and why your grandma might ...
We warned in the late 80s, peaking in the 90s, through the 00s but forced to prioritize more immediate disasters from the mid-10s, that the globalization which USA and marauders like Thatcher forced on the whole world was intended to let Capital and Capitalists move freely, to let corporations leverage the worse labor rights, environmental protections, authoritarianism, &c against the productive classes in both the "developed world" and the "developing" through moving production from the former to where wages were lower, unionizing persecuted, devastation ignored, with only the absolute top tier econo-political elite long-term winners as those kept collecting the profits regardless who was exploited, "the 1%", while the poor practically are prevented from the same, amplifying injustices.
We were obviously correct, as is plain to see now through the huge increasing gap between opulent few and everyone else, climate change, wars, cold war, lethal borders for poor while exceptions and private jets for rich.
Now they do the same pro-corporate, pro-elite leveraging of forced disastrously rapid change in other direction, combined with automation and "AI", leaving all except the extreme elite devastated again.
You should have listened. Freedom for the people, not for exploitation against us all.

From my understanding, rice and lentils are a good combination for acquiring a pretty complete intake of essential amino acids (those humans can't make ourselves in our bodies so must get externally).
Whole grain rice and lentils would in combination with an additional ingredient provide all those essential amino acids when eating a lower volume in total and that would be some seeds, for example peanuts (a seed), sesame, sunflower (not the oil), chia and hemp, so in combination would could have 4dl cooked rice with equal lentils plus ½dl peanuts (alternatively 2-3 tablespoons peanut butter) and 2-3 table spoons sesame seeds (alternatively 2 tablespoons tahini). So, like an Indian lentil stew with peanuts, rice and a tahini-based sauce if in a combined serving, while of course they don't actually need to be eaten during the same meal because that is not how our bodies work, just… reasonably close together.
Other nice combos could be like • whole grain pasta (e.g. spaghetti) with a tahini sauce of proportions 2:1, or • hummus with bulgur (whole grain) at about 1:1½ to 1:1⅔ ratio
Soybeans are well known to be a complete source of protein, but some are allergic, they take VERY long to cook and are... boring (IMO).
Of course, a varied diet is always best, blah, blah... I'm still NOT a doctor.
The Mormons are big on 3month and 12 month (and longer) food storage preparedness. Even many prepper websites defer to their expertise. This is an example of what they suggest:
(Looks like the main things they have that you don't list are powdered milk and eggs?)
(Note: I'm not a Mormon, but I love teasing a few of my friends who are ex-Mormons about this. "Melinda? Why do you have like 50 packets of pasta in the pantry? Oh, that's right, magic underwear...)
An advantage of tinned beans and pulses (and most tinned food) is that it's already cooked. So at a pinch, you don't even have to use energy to heat them up.

Bernard Arnault fait de nouvelles acquisitions dans la presse économique. Daniel Kretinsky renforce son pouvoir à Libération et lance sa chaîne TNT. Rodolphe Saadé achète Brut. Nos oligarques milliardaires font leurs emplettes tandis que les macronistes pactisent avec le groupe Bolloré. Le tout dans un grand silence politique.
L' #antisionisme est légitime et souhaitable pour plusieurs raisons indéniables. D'abord, #Netanyahou, fidèle disciple de Vladimir #Jabotinsky, ne cherche pas à réaliser le rêve « sioniste » de Theodor #Herzl, mais celui « sioniste révisionniste » expansionniste de Ze’ev Jabotinsky : créer un « Empire juif » dans la ligne de « l’Empire khazar ». Pour cela, il utilise les juifs et le judaïsme, massacre les Palestiniens, tente d'annexer de nouveaux territoires en #Syrie et cherche à débuter l’occupation du « corridor de David ».
Ensuite, en #1948 le refus du plan de partage par les Palestiniens était juridiquement légitime, historiquement fondé et moralement juste car le plan n’avait aucune force contraignante. De plus, vouloir l'imposer violait le droit des peuples à disposer d’eux-mêmes. Il perpétuait également une injustice historique dans un contexte colonial. Prétendre que ce refus a entraîné la guerre de 1948 est un raccourci idéologique mensonger : la guerre est née du refus légitime d’un projet de #colonisation soutenu par des puissances impériales, et non d’un rejet illégitime ou injuste du partage. La guerre est né de la volonté des sionistes à vouloir imposer leur projet de façon illégitime et criminelle. Ce qu'ils ont fait, d'où l'illégitimité de l'État d'israel et la légitimité de l'antisionisme.
Un groupe exogène s’est installé sur un territoire habité, en a déplacé les populations autochtones de force avec des moyens terroristes tels que #massacres, #viols, #pillages, #menaces, etc..( #Nakba de 1948, + de 700 000 Palestiniens), puis a instauré une souveraineté exclusive fondée sur une identité ethno-religieuse. La “loi du retour” accorde la citoyenneté automatique aux #Juifs du monde entier, mais pas aux Palestiniens déplacés ou expulsés. Cela constitue une forme d’ethno-nationalisme exclusif.
D'autres États revendiquent une identité religieuse (Iran, Pakistan, Arabie Saoudite...), mais aucun ne combine ainsi : - #Apartheid légalisé entre citoyens : - Suprématie religieuse et ethnique inscrite dans la constitution, - Colonisation et oppression active d’un autre peuple. De plus #Israël se distingue par son non-respect de plusieurs obligations : - Pas de frontières définies (refus du partage de 1947). - Droit au retour des réfugiés (résolution 194) jamais appliqué. - Occupation militaire depuis 1967 illégale ( #CIJ, avis de 2004 + résolutions régulières de l’ONU.) Israël est le seul État au monde aujourd’hui : - fondé explicitement sur l’ethnicité juive, donc officiellement raciste : - avec un statut constitutionnel discriminatoire envers les non-juifs, - pratiquant une #colonisation continue sur des territoires occupés illégalement.
Voilà pourquoi l'État d'Israël tel qu'il est aujourd'hui est criminel, n'est pas viable, et n'a donc pas le droit d'exister sous cette forme. Et enfin.. la région n'était pas inhabitée quand le judaïsme est apparu et tout le monde n'est pas devenu juif. Aucun droit foncier historique fantasmé par des interprétations fallacieuses de la bible ne tient deux minutes : Pour ceux qui sont capables de lire la Bible : - La Bible ne fonde aucun droit foncier exclusif pour un groupe ethnique. - La Terre est un don conditionnel basé sur la justice, la compassion, l’accueil de l’étranger. - La “punition” biblique pour l’injustice est la perte de la légitimité, de la paix et de la terre. - Le peuple de Dieu, dans les textes, est universel : tout être juste peut en faire partie. Lévitique 26:33, Ésaïe 56:6-7, Ésaïe 1:17, Jérémie 7:3-7, Michée 6:8 , Deutéronome 11:13-17. La Bible hébraïque insiste sur l'idée que ce qui définit « le peuple de Dieu », c’est une pratique éthique, non une généalogie. Selon les textes, la conséquence du non-respect de l’alliance est l’expulsion de la terre, non la bénédiction.. La Bible est donc extrêmement claire : l’injustice, l’oppression, la violence et l’inhospitalité entraînent la perte du droit à la terre. ...à la lumière des textes, un peuple qui trahit les exigences éthiques de l’Alliance va perdre son lien avec la terre. Non par une force humaine, mais par le retrait de la bénédiction divine : conflits, instabilité, division interne, perte du sens, etc..

I might say that I believe that discrimination against the LGBT community is a major problem. But if I then turn around and crack up at the sight of a man in a dress for how ridiculous he looks, others will doubt my sincerity. It’s preferable in that case to enjoy more politically correct comedy, say insults aimed at bigoted Republicans instead. This isn’t a matter of pretending to find one kind of content funnier than the other. An individual’s sense of humor ends up being shaped by what their true values are, which are themselves the products of a complex mix of social incentives and intellectual conviction.
Kind of accidentally invented 2 types of electrolysis cells.
One:
A 3d printed frame holds 2 sintered stainless filters about 1-2mm apart, and water is injected around the perimeter between them. The H2 and O2 generated off of the disks is blown through the disks to the back side. An advantage of this design is it extracts H2 and O2 separately and it also does not need a membrane layer because the flow of water prevents H2 and O2 from combining.
A 54mm disk with 3mm thickness has 6871 cubic mm of volume. A 40um particle (assuming spherical) has 0.00003351 cubic mm of volume, so at full density the disk has 205 million particles. If it's 40% density which is realistic for a sintered filter, it would have 82 million particles. In the best case, each particle should have 0.005 mm2 of surface, so that's like 410,000 mm2, or 0.41 square meters of surface. I would subtract 20% because of bonded surface, so that's like 1/3 of a square meter per disk.
One cell should perform equal to 144 normal plate cells with 54mm circular plates.
This is more of a wild electrolyzer design, and I don't even know if it would work. The idea is you only have 2 main plates, but you mix 10-20% by volume stainless dust into the water. You use a pump to keep the dust in suspension, and basically every particle of dust is a floating electrode with an anode on the side facing the main cathode and a cathode on the side facing the main anode.
Electrode surface area in this design is absolutely insane. If you have, say, 300cc of liquid volume (volume of a beer bottle) in the hot space between your main anode and cathode, that's 300,000 cubic mm, or 8.9 billion 40um particles. At 10% by volume, that's 895 million particles, or 4,476,275 mm2 of surface. 4.4 meters of surface area in the volume of a bottle of beer.
In order to estimate appropriate voltage, you have to guess how many stainless particles the electricity will pass through. The optimal voltage per cell is 1.23v, but a 20 or 30mm gap could potentially give you thousands of "virtual cells". The ideal configuration would probably be a current limited circuit with a fairly high maximum voltage that is tuned to the plate gap. It's unclear how much electrolyte would be needed, if any.
Main challenge would be preventing the slurry from creating a short between main anode and cathode plates.
This design will produce mixed h2 and o2 which is a little bit less convenient, but it's still interesting because (if it works) it can punch so far above its weight.
The first design has a 2-8mm gap between the electrodes, this just can't be avoided because the electrodes are 3mm thick and you need 1-2mm of space between them to flow the water in. Thinner electrodes reduce surface area, and surface is what makes H2 and O2.
But generally, you want the minimum gap possible, because pushing electricity through water makes heat, which is loss. Also you can't push the voltage across one cell too high, otherwise you stop doing electrolysis and you just start boiling water. If you could put two plates 1 micron apart, you'd be set - but you have to figure out how to push water through that gap and get the gas out the other side - and it can't short out.
The mud-cell electrolyzer is attractive because you have gaps between your particles on the order of hundreds, or possibly tens, of microns, and there is zero impedance to incoming water or gas extraction because the mud with the h2 and o2 is just being pumped out of the cell together to be separated and the mud pumped back in...
Another cheap source of stainless surface area. For an HHO electrolyzer, this really couldn't be any easier, and it's probably the cheapest surface area you can buy - short of the mud-cell idea.
However, I would much rather generate the H2 and O2 separately because then they can be stored safely and mixed later. There have been some claims that HHO gas has special properties that mixed gasses do not, and that would be fun to test, but unless there's some very compelling evidence that HHO outperforms re-mixed gas, I see no reason to build an HHO setup unless it's the only way the electrolyzer can possibly work (as is the case with the mud cell design).
But putting separator membranes between the plates is an incredibly frustrating exercise. The separators must be made of a porous non-conductive low cost material that is strong enough not to flap around between the plates, and then you need to do a magic trick where the H2 leaves on one side and the O2 leaves on the other side, otherwise it's nearly impossible to build a header that will separate the H2 and O2.
All of this is quite easy if you accept for the separator to be more than 1mm thick, you can 3d print a frame around the membrane which will direct the outgoing gas, but distance between plates is the enemy of efficiency, so reducing that distance to sub-millimeter is really what you want.
For the boundary itself, proton exchange membrane (Nafion) is quite expensive compared to the stainless, but anything that will wet and repel bubbles is probably good enough, so regular 0.05mm thick fiberglass mesh is worth testing. Cross-contamination is okay at less than about 2 or 3 percent because that's not enough to be able to burn.
The ideal separator thickness would be around 0.2-0.3mm, and for making something that thin, I think the best process is probably to press plastic in a mold. However, it's a fairly complex shape and if there is excess material, it won't just harmlessly squeeze out of the mold, instead if is likely to soak in to the fiberglass mesh and spoil it.
I think probably the best idea is to laser cut shapes out of 0.1mm thermoplastic and stack them up with the mesh in the middle and a metal plate on the front and back. The height of different regions would be defined by the number of layers, but that definition would be further enforced by acid etching layers of height onto the front and back plates so that the pattern will be pressed into the plastic.
Ideal energy input should be able 150-300 watts per square meter, a square meter is about 35 cells of 300x100mm. 35 cells should be about 14mm thick, minus end plates and center electrode. A realistic cell should be at least 70 plates with 35 in each direction from a center electrode. This will make it 42-70v, so nominally 48v. Using 2 negatives and 3 positives, you can stack 2x 70 plate stacks end-to-end (600-1200w) while keeping the same voltage. 3 negatives and 4 positives gives you 3x 70 plate stacks (900-1800w). That should be in the neighborhood of 100mm long, which would make it close to having a square end. To get to around 300mm length, making it square the other way, you'd be looking at around 10x 70 plate stacks (3000-6000w). At this power level, it should be possible to drive it using a DC stick welder, which is a reasonably priced source of medium voltage DC (but caution re duty cycle)...
Method to produce thin flat plastic parts with higher and lower areas on them: 1. Acid etch the topology of the surface into two metal forms, this will be the stamping die 2. Laser cut plastic layers to make the rough shape 3. Coat the die with mold release and lay the plastic into the forms - you can entrap a fiberglass mesh between layers in this stage. 4. Close the die and squeeze using a hot t-shirt press. 5. Wait until the gap between the die halves has fully closed up 6. Cool and open the die to remove the part.
This should work for making the spacers for an electrolysis cell.
Well I'm not sure if I'd be able to make any money off of it, because the people who rig elections don't want anyone to know that they did it, and if people know it happened, they don't admit that it was THEM behind it. The winner of the election claims he had no idea it was happening.
But something like AI generated custom ads that promote the product in the context of things that the specific individual has shown interest in recently, that would be easily patentable and it's only a matter of time before someone decides to implement that...
Ahh yeah, the double-male. Would likely be rejected as obvious and/or already invented. You're not supposed to patent anything that you didn't invent. You might get away with it, but if someone can demonstrate prior art later, they can invalidate your patent.
Also, remember you have no power in China, they'll make anything that someone wants. The best places to do patents is on stuff that is owned and controlled by giant American monopoly corporations, like file a patent on using diesel fuel as frenchfry oil and then send a letter to McDonalds...
Hit an interesting snag... Apparently power will prefer to flow through water rather than metal, if doing so allows it to avoid doing any more electrolysis than necessary.
Should have figured, electrolysis is not free, so the electrolysis site and the path through water to bypass it are series resistors.
Of course this (very significant) issue is not discussed anywhere, and mitigating it doesn't seem to be a priority in ANY hobbyist electrolyzer design (HHO or otherwise).
To quote a particularly salient comment from the video:
> HHO has been such a dumpster fire of Bro Science and misunderstandings for so long
So anyway, the simple naive way to solve this is each physical cell can only have 1.2-2 volts, and if they're connected in series, they must have separate water/gas pipes which long enough to eliminate any meaningful power leakage.
But I *think* power leakage is unable to penetrate the holes in a screen because the whole thing becomes statically charged and repels the electrons, so for an HHO cell, just blowing water through a series stack of screens is quite likely to work.
I have absolutely no idea what this would mean for the mud cell. If the particles of stainless mud are uncharged, then they're a shorter path and the power will flow to them. Once they become charged, they'll act like a screen. The way I see it, correct voltage for a mud cell is going to be well into the thousands, which is enough to easily flow current through a few cm of water with just trace impurities, so the need for electrolyte will be virtually non-existent.

I don't know the physics behind it but I suspect the plates can act like diodes. As in, it may take a constant voltage drop to move an electron between an ion and the plate
I tend to agree, or more specifically I think the plate/water interface acts like a diode which causes the water around the plate to act like a capacitor that becomes charged and then doesn't want to accept any more charge.
My instinct is that if you're okay with making mixed HHO, there are a lot of ways to do it. For example: Porous ceramic with embedded nickel nano-particles which is basically a chemistry project to make.
But when you require the gasses to be separated, then everything becomes a painful engineering problem because you need to make sure every anode connects to the O2 exit and every cathode connects to the H2 exit.

I think for separated h2 and o2, I gravitate back to my first idea, but replace the expensive sintered disks with cheap screens and either 3d print, or laser cut and then press, the framework.
PEM is expensive enough to be annoying, i.e. it becomes the dominant cost of the whole cell, and while it does let you get the anode and cathode hundreds of microns apart, you still need to flow water into the gap and you still need to evacuate the H2 and O2 so I don't see a huge advantage in it.
I think it'll work fine to just push water in around the perimeter of the gap and rely on flow to shove all of the H2 and O2 out through their respective screens. It's probably possible to achieve a 500-1000 micron gap and still make >=99% H2 and O2 (i.e. pure enough that explosion is a non-issue).
If I happen to need 99.99% H2 for reduction reactions, I can always clean it by passing it over hot copper to burn off the remaining O2.
Interesting, it looks like they're relying on the coal to participate in the chemical reaction somehow.
They're using a membrane to keep the H2 and O2 generation separate, so it's a single cell with just 1.2 volts across it, and they must be using a lot of electrolyte to make the water conductive enough.
My idea is borrowed from the Brown's Gas generator concept of using "neutral plates". Each cell can only be 1.2v for physics reasons, more voltage and you just boil the water, but if you stack a bunch of neutral plates in the middle, it acts like a bunch of cells in series - so you can power it with 12v.
So I'm just thinking of taking to it's absolute most extreme possible - a mud of particles, each one behaving as a micron-scale neutral plate, allowing hundreds or even thousands of volts across the "cell" without killing off the electrolysis process.
