Wait how does Hydrogen -> Ozone?
You definitely won't regret doubling the mass of our atmosphere!

It doesn’t… I may have replaced the wrong text.
In any case, what would you say is the best property of having more hydrogen gas in the atmosphere? Make it quick, I need to sell a few pentawatthours to world leaders.

It floats up and gets striped first by solar winds, like a shield protecting the ozone layer.

We can react the hydrogen with CO2 in the atmosphere to produce hydrocarbons and water. The water goes back into the electrolysis system, and the hydrocarbons can be put back underground where they belong. As a bonus it gets rid of some extra CO2!

Capture it and use it for nuclear fusion

How does the saying go, the only thing that can stop a bad air pollutant with a gun is a good air pollutant with a gun?

The solution to global warming is to artificially heat earth to Planck temperature, this ensuring it cannot possibly become any hotter.

This diagram is wrong on so many levels. Ozone is “charged Oxygen” (O1 rather than the usual O2) so it’s saying you get Ozone out of the Hydrogen side. The bubbles are forming in a place where they can’t get to the output vents, so the accumulating gases would slowly force the water level in the inner chamber down, and thus up through the vents. It’s pretty shit. Is it AI slop?
Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Putting Ozone on the Hydrogen side was my mistake, I haphazardly added the hearts last minute and just put 2 great things about the gases there, not realising I they were about the same gas. For what it’s worth, you got it wrong too, as Ozone is O³.
The diagram itself is from here. While there are plenty of reasons to doubt the promises of clean hydrogen companies, I at the very least trust them when it comes to understanding electrolysis.
cybervegan@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You’re quite right, Ozone is actually O~3~, I got that wrong. I should have looked it up, but I didn’t, hence the error. I’m so sorry I mislead you - can you forgive me? Ozone is actually very interesting - did you know there is a layer of the upper atmosphere known as The Ozone Layer, and that it has a hole in it? Also, Ozone is sometimes produced by chemical reactions and electrical arcs - it has a distinctive, Ozoney smell. As you also made mistakes, I think we are now even - have you ever considered taking up a career as a Large Language Model?

ozone is 0₃

Even if this would work with no complications from increasing atmospheric pressure, electrolyzing 0.5% of the ocean with present-day technology would take more than 200,000 years. So yeah, that’s plenty of time to invent new tech to reduce the time, but say some miracle invention reduced it immediately by 2 orders of magnitude, it would still take more than 2000 years.

Not to mention we fix that pesky sea level rising bit.

Ok, ok, ok. But hear me out. Instead of ozone, zeppelins!

I don’t think adding other gases will reduce the amount of radiation carbon dioxide absorbs lol
Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 2 months ago
But the scary news are always “Carbon dioxide reached 430 parts per million”. So I thought instead of reducing the carbon, we could increase the “per million” for the same effect and have no scary news any more!
deranger@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
It will dilute it and reduce the effect, sorta like reducing the reflectivity of a mirror.
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
I don’t think so. There’s still the same amount of carbon between the earth and space, so it’s still going to have the same effect of blocking IR that’s moving to escape the earth’s climate system.
If anything the extra gases will simply trap more heat on their own, although probably less so than the CO2 does.

HUH?!! WHATS THAT? I CANT HEAR YOU OUT OF THE BLOOD IN MY EARS.
BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Why is the 2 in CO2 superscript? Numbers like that are always subscript.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 months ago
wouldnt it be easier to have more photosynthetic organisms, like ocean algae and rainforests.
Allero@lemmy.today 2 months ago
This is an ironic post
Obviously ocean algae and rainforests are superior

More dense atmosphere means strapping some feathers to your arms and flapping like a bird could actually work.

This would work best in an atmosphere of tungsten hexafluoride, which is the heaviest gas in the world. It’s ~11 times heavier than air. The downside is that you would melt down to a brown sludge.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s the sludge part that really throws a wrench into it for me.
krashmo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Sounds like a win to me
CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What if I’m already brown sludge?
