A
adiabatic: Without loss or gain of heat.
amperage (amps): A common measure for
indicating 'volume' of electrical flow
amperage runaway: Happens in traditional
electrolyzers when the cell's electrical resistance
(electrolyte resistance) lowers as the electrolyte heats
up; less cell resistance allows more amperage to flow at
the same voltage; amperage flow through resistance causes
heat; more amperage flow, the faster the electrolyte
heats up; hotter electrolyte has lower electrical
resistance
astable: Repeats itself.
atomize: Make into a mist.
'atomizing' spray nozzles: Nozzles that
break a fluid into very small droplets or mist.
