Wow - that really is a recipe "how to make a sponge" (but then plated with metal). I have the impression that it can be done better and easier, but it is good to know that it *can* be done...

It would be a challenge; but Edison wrote his patents in the days when patents really *did* describe how to make them. For instance, he made his nickel electrode by electroplating a very thin layer of nickel onto copper sheet, then slicing it up into little flakes, and then dissolving away the copper. These nickel "snowflakes" were than packed into perforated nickel tubes, and electrically connected together with a plating operation. This provided the good electrical conductivity and very high surface area needed. -- Don't worry about people stealing your ideas.
