The solutions described are not the ultimate ones, yet.

The real solution will be to:

"Make salt magnetic and pull it out of the water, in real-time, with electro-magnets."

It's one of those "hipster" podcasts by the UI designer at _that_ startup: https://whats-wrong-with-the-podcast.simplecast.com/

"Make oxygen magnetic and then just pull it out of water to produce hydrogen"

I too like to fantasize. :-)

> Make oxygen magnetic and then just pull it out of water

Liquid oxygen is paramagnetic and it is attracted to a magnet.

Disclaimer: Sorry if that was what you were alluding to... the person on the GP's audio clip was too annoying for me to waste time listening to it.

The oxygen in water is bound and O, not O2. So the paramagnetism doesn't mean much. But that's an interesting fact.

And yeah, cringe podcast :-/

What's wrong with the link? :-P
