This is the perfect solution for an off grid heat source that wouldn't fatigue electrochemical batteries with limited lifetimes I'd rather reserve for smaller, precise loads (not heating element voltage).
I've been saving 1lb propane containers because I thought I would experiment with low pressure (for safety) hydrogen storage as flame source. Then I see videos where people are putting on spark arrestors and using more involving methods to totally remove oxygen (electrically interactive element in a steel container - an amount as low as 4% mixed with hydrogens low ignition point could be hazardous). Combine this with all the hoses and couplings I'd have to put in and it could add up and get complicated (although Alex Lab is a neat channel for hydrogen experimentation).
Could I just put a grinder wheel to some pig iron and create a powder stock (high surface area)? Since the powder flows it could be delivered like a wood pellet stove with auto-feed and hopper storage, and maybe for cooking I could spoon feed powder into a bowl with air flow rate control for temperature adjustment? Then another batch would "charge" as a short between two electrodes of a voltage source. Would the constant voltage of a charge controller be necessary for this redox? Could it just be a container of oxidized iron that reacts as voltage is available?
