This guy’s project is tremendous:

“Carbonating tap water to make seltzer is easy, fast, and absurdly inexpensive with my improvised apparatus. All that is required is to place CO2 gas in agitated contact with chilled water for a few seconds. In this essay, I’ll show you how it is done with easy-to-find parts and common PET soda bottles. I’ll also explain the kinetic chemistry of why it works so well. And in the second half of this essay, I’ll explain how I progressed from this improvised apparatus to installing a complete soda fountain in my home.”

    Honestly, where does the second half starts? This really is an essay.

    The good about it is that all the questions you usually ask yourself when thinking about building a system like this are documented, explained, scrutinized.

      I think part 2 begins after the list of patents, with the header “Fountain Carbonation Equipment”.
