I'm not looking for hydrogen, I'm wondering how the AprilAire model 60 tank in a model 600 humidifier doesn't generate tons of hydrogen at 120VAC.

It will also generate oxygen in just the right proportions to be an explosive mix.
Unless, with AC, both gases will be produced at both electrodes and they may recombine at the electrode surface.

 

I don't think it will be such "high impedance." I have done several tests over the years of electricity through water, and found that not much exposed electrode surface area is required to conduct significant current, with average tap water.

Strantor I totally agree cuz it's exactly the principal used for antique egg cookers and baby bottle warmers Only thing is I say it should never be used for directly heating potable water cuz of electrolysis products! Which reminds me of those gross direct electric hot dog cookers! Yummy! NOT!

 

Also, chlorine gas (Cl2) and sodium hydroxide are the products of electrolysis of salt water. You need more inert ions to make hydrogen. Sulfuric acid or baking soda both work well.

Please read one more time my comment about soldiers and prisoners using this technology each every days about century long in hundred thousands places and still alive. Gas bubbling there happens so small, that it not harms.
Just bring Your brain in hands and read once the Faraday electrolysis equation before speaking the untruth. The gas bubble amount generated is proportional to current and time. Thus the gas amount is so tiny, that most of it freely dissolves into water or just go off by vapour or whoknowshow, just looking on practical process, there are some small bubbles not more. And there is NO ANY need to put the any chemical in the water, it happens by itself. Just normal imminent co-chemicals in the tap water is enough to generate a current high enough.
Problems begin only if voltage is high. I had tried to use a water tank as short-time dummy load for high voltage very high power SMPS, and need to say, DONT do!! If over kilovolt, happens just explosion. But at 220V it is pretty safe until dumbly touch the tin. Dont touch while plugged and You are on safe side. Risky, yes. Illegally, yes, but who cares if it works well.

 

I for one think the @Reloadron was correct on his assessment of this guy. Especially after seeing what he said in his last post in his other thread. Quote "(Although I'm still having trouble finding a MOSFET capable of converting 60v ac to anything other 5v dc.)"

I think it was a good move to not contribute to his "Darwin award" project. Let him go it alone.

Agreed; I didn't see anything inappropriate in @Reloadron's responses to him.

Especially after seeing what he said in his last post in his other thread. Quote "(Although I'm still having trouble finding a MOSFET capable of converting 60v ac to anything other 5v dc.)"

Yeah, that doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

This remark from the same post didn't help, either:

Although it doesn't change my opinion of him, as it wasn't until others started to respond to my post that the "great withholder" was the one who ultimately provided the confirmation that I required to proceed with my project. I suppose he couldn't hold his ego at bay any longer once others showed they were willing to assist me.

I know what my response to that would be had the remark been referring to me; fortunately, I couldn't post it here as this is a family-friendly site and it would get me banned.
