In the post that you quoted, he did not say that oxygen
was produced, yet you said that he was wrong, and now you are trying to
prove yourself right by adding stuff that was not in the post that you
quoted.


Patterson wrote this very early on:"I don't know how they work, but the goal
is to turn the nitrates (NO3) into
gaseous nitrogen and oxygen."

Gaseous nitrogen and oxygen to 'me' mean O2 and N2. Do you STILL think he
is right?

I will write it again so there is no confusion:
2NO3- + 12H+ --- 6H2O and N2

If you are confused where the H+ come from let me know.
