- Hydrogen Generator #1 Homemade Hydrogen Generator And Compressor Unit
I’ve made this hydrogen generator and compressor unit to make large hydrogen balloons and to do other experiments.
And I have plans to make it completely solar powered so that I can make clean fuel for all kinds of devises.

Here are all the hydrogen generator videos, enjoy: ua-cam.com/play/PLTYlUGKLEk-GZfbXewpyRNn2iJ8RNepBd.html
As you have to use DC - have you tried powering using solar? Also, you mentioned heat generation an issue - could you use that heat to generate hot water through a heat exchange? The point being, you could use a full solar system to generate power and hydrogen during the day - with battery storage. Use the excess heat for hot water and the hydrogen gas for heating. And sell the oxygen onwards.
No, I have not tried that jet. And yes, that would al be possible. Good suggestions! 👍
Thanks
To keep your compressor running buy a potential relay setup with a star capacitor and every time it turns off it can come on with no problem right after it shuts off instead of waiting for it to equalize hope this helps
I want to make a hydrogen unit for cars and later for CV installations….. can you help with how big them need to be? (Are you Dutch?)
Finally! After two days of watching videos about hydrogen generation, UA-cam's recommendation algorithm has eventually discovered THIS is the channel I was looking for :)
Thank you so much! That's really nice!!!!
Sorry if you answered this already, but approximately what is the power consumption when running at the 70l/minute rate?
aaa hehe.... 70l/hour I mean :)
O good I was afraid I had to dramatically disappoint you ;) it draws around 850 watt. Btw, no problem, ask all you want!
Really nice to see your name pop-up here (Dutch UA-cam channel)! I saw a lot of your videos and I also landed on this channel after searching hydrogen electrolyser or something.
This is incredibly clever the way you separated the h and o despite using the neutral plates. So glad i found this video
Share this video guys and repost as much as you can because after years of watching HHO videos , this is by far the best all around. I want to see the DIY vid from the power supply out of microwave transformers!!! A beach ball! Come on guys who would have thought of Felt cloth ?!!
MY friend I commend you.
want to bet
@Waylen Edge Will an arduino with a 10Amp motor controller work?
I think they use SPE and PEM membranes cloth sounds like a good idea.
@@webslinger2011 Arduino is a great idea. All the controls could be connected to a single panel with readouts in one place.
@@Borishal
BTW: PWM is a bad way to control the generator's current.
If you have a Arduino, you can however use it to control the ratio of a DC to DC converter to match the voltage applied to the generator more accurately than just a transformer and rectifier could. Getting the voltage right is the way to go.
It's guys like you that help push science along a bit further each day and get far better result that often we thought. You have obviously put a lot of thought effort and money into this. A very well done and keep going!
I've being watching a lot of videos on this subject for more than a year.
Although it is a summarized content, it was pretty decent, clear, to the point and included important subjects. It was very useful to me. Thanks and continue this ... Let's say tone of voice for your future videos.
Cheers.
Thank you very much i will definitely continue!
Great video and a very impressive setup. For the rest of us that like to experiment, you have saved us a lot of time.
This is awesome! I've been searching for a diy way to compress hydrogen for awhile, and have been a little bit nervous about it due to its flammability and all of the misinformation regarding HHO generators and whatnot. Kudos to the airship project! I'm a huge airship fan, and want to get my HHO generator up and running so I can make a hydrogen fuel cell airship drone.
Excellent. Simple, clear, direct and applicable. Many thanks for sharing this
The dry humor is the best part 😂 if I could make one recommendation, it'd be to invest in a microphone. Audio quality can make all the difference
Thanks! Yes you are right about the audio. For my new videos I did use a better mic but I'm constantly improving my videos so all the input is appreciated!
Awesome work... way to take it to the next level. I had been wondering how to use the neutral plates and still separate the gas and you clearly solved it! Nice work and thank you so much for sharing your approaches!
WOW youtube actually recommended something cool/usefull. GJ man a lot of work went into this project
Wow, seriously impressed and saved for re-view at least once more to understand all details. Nice build. Thank you for sharing it.
VERY nice movie - nice explanation, safety instructions, cheap accessible equipment, man you have the knowledge! Take a five!
Great job! That’s an excellent DIY project and explanation. Thanks.
Nice explanations! I had to smile a few times about the heat generated when operating the cell at 12 V. You are right, the problem is the high voltage. But its not due to some mystique strength between the atoms in the water molecules its just the resistence of the water with sodium hydroxide against current. If you push too much current it will heat up - same as every wire does if you push too much current through it can get red or even withe glowing! So the keyword is current density: amps per square inch! You should keep current density as low as possible to stay cool and become more efficient in the process! Even 2 V per cell can already be too much. You can do with 1.8 or even 1.6 V/cell - but you need (much) bigger plates to push the same amount of current! Also a larger cell will have better cooling through air e.g. A good current density is as low as 0.3 A/in2 (0.05 A/cm2) or lower!
2. I hope you dont compress the oxygen via the fridge compressor? The gas flows right through the oil inside the compressor and could explode! You can use other oilfree compressor which are specially made for oxygen - but rather expensive. Also keep in mind that hydrogen is very volatile - it will go through the LPG tank with ease in the long term. So its just a short term "parking". Its best to produce it when you need it.
Thanks! 👍
Its correct the current density only heat the water like ohms law , anyway reduce current in cross sectional area for adjusting voltage work.
My first hydrogen generator had much more surface area than my new one but had 12 volts between the anode and cathode and became very hot. My new one has less overall surface area draws more current and gets only warm. So it has to do with the voltage per section.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy If you're still reading, it's not directly the resistance, it's down to what you discovered in your research, the potential difference required to split the water molecules is about 2V, any more voltage is wasted and turned to heat. The electrolysis cell will do its best to drag the voltage down to 2V /per cell/ until extraneous resistance drops the voltage to this. This voltage droppage just turns to heat rather than that part of the energy going into splitting.
Putting multiple plates puts the cells in series, just without the wires. This is why it works efficiently.
Molecular hydrogen will not diffuse through steel and only slowly permeates the Viton rubber seals in ordinary propane storage tanks. Atomic hydrogen will diffuse into steel but that is only possible in high temperature plasma..like welding.
Just wanted to say, amazing work! You're a smart guy to concoct all of that in your garage/shed
Thank you very much!
Literally after searching for 2 months
I got what i want.
Thanks for this great video with great explanation.
You are doing great work here. Please don't stop refining this - make an engine!
Thank you for your video. I have learned quite a bit by watching your video, and confirmed both ideas I've had and things I've heard. I look forward to your other videos. I have noted in the comments & in the video two things that were may be a concern. 1) Break down of felt and loss of separation of H & O 2) Heat
I watched the U shaped collector (referenced below), that allows a physical separation of the H/O collection. No filters needed. The problem with the U is that it is a wet system. I watched the video on the basic construction of the dry cell and liked it a lot. The problem I with the dry cell is that it dispenses an H & O mixture. Like yours does w/out the filters. My thought is use two dry cell plate systems (like in the U shaped collector) and use wire to connect them vs water. Thus being able to collect H from one set and O from the other. This is just a hypothesis on my part. As to the heat, the video on calculating # of amps addresses heat, and perhaps your system is over amped for the # of plates used. Thank you again, keep up the good work & I hope the above is usefull & /or food for thought.

Thank you so much! And thank you for your suggestions. However, your wire trick will not work because both ends have to be in the water and therefore 1 end will become an cathode on the anode side and the other an anode in the cathode side, it will basically work like a neutral plate.
Dude... I don't understand this completely, but I'm in awe of this. You're incredible
We'll done AAA+++ That is a nice build wow. I think that's way to go.
Impressive! Someone give this man a job at the department of energy
Thank you for actually making scientific hydrogen content.... it's almost impossible to find among the free energy bullshit. It's very much appreciated.
I greatly appreciate your organizational abilities.
Nice job! This is so clear, and I love that you included the evolution of the project. The hydrogen separating technique is genius. New sub here, so keep uploading!
Thank you I do very much appreciated that! Thanks for subscribing, there will be a new video in a few days.
What is interesting, is the start of the clip with explosions...🙂😇
Wow! Really good video! thanks for making and sharing. This was my first choice when I got the list of options when searching hydrogen generators. I made a hydrogen gen when I was 22 (am now 67!) and apart from vids on running cars on HHO this is the first time I have re-visited the subject. I too like you am an inventor/designer but have not posted any such practical videos. There were some bits of your vid I could not follow and may get back later with some questions.
that's amazing that you have experience from so far back with hydrogen....
tell us more about it
This is amazing. Loving your energy ideas.
good video, well explained finally someone that realy knows how. thanks
good job! very nicely done! Some type of current control might help with the temperature. I found with my hho setups that the cell will start to pull more current the longer it's running. So some type of current control will definitely help keep the temp down. I really like the idea of separating the gasses. I had a back flash once and there was a lot of shrapnel and some temporary deafness involved. A lot of people watching this video wont understand how loud lighting the little bubbles actually is. For sure if you weren't wearing hearing protection your ears where ringing after lighting that pile of bubbles in your metal bowl! Ahahaha love it!
I agree, it's a great video, that's good advice about the hearing protection, thank you
Fun fact I forgot to put them on that time.. I cut out al the swearing 🤣
What a fantastic setup. Loved how you explained it clearly. This is the only video that's got what I was looking for. Great work sir!
great job. I have been looking for a video on hydrogen production for a while. The compressor was an added bonus. Thank you so much.
men that was a fun hard complex project. Before this, I actually thought hho was made with both gasses together, now I see that they can be separated. Thanks for the warning about compressing hho, I hadn't been warned elsewhere 7 was thinking about doing it. jah bless!
Great video !!
I've just watched it a second time to catch the details.
I plan to duplicate your design soon using grapheen to separate cells and filter hydrogen from oxygen.
Thank you for sharing this important info.
Cheers !!
You're completely on the right path when it comes to efficiency of splitting rate. There is impedance in separation. As with anything electromechanical, more impedance equals more thermal loss.
Out of mone and everyone elses hho u by far are ahead brother, congratulations on esp seperating hydrogen and oxygen
Yow! UA-cam should have more of this stuff! Very useful bro! Keep up the great work.
Grate work and good video..
Electrolization sweetspot of water and sodium hydroxide is ~2V per cell.
Current used is proportional to Volume generated.
Production can be increased in 4 ways and/or the combination of these:
1. More Current
2. More Surface area per cell
3. Increas or Decrease gap between plates
4: Higher saturation of Alkaline solution
keep in mind increas one point will not work unless a nother prerequisit is met, for example if you increase plate surface area you will need to increase current etc.
CAUTION:
1. Always use flash arestors in gas lines perticulalry ones conected to larger volumes of Gas
2. Never conect power close to electrolizer cell, sparks can cause ignition. use a remote circuit braker.
3. LAST > A bit of Oxygen in Hydrogen is not as dangerous as a bit of Hydrogen in Oxygen.
You are helping to literally save our world!!! Thank you!!!
That is one awesome build. Thanks for sharing!
Again Thank You for the very fast reply
Great work with a lot of time invested. Thanks for the super video.
christoph from Mallirca
it looks like we independently discovered membrane style gas separation without a PEM membrane. Great Work!
Ok nice! good work!
so during the day you could use solar power to create the hydrogen, then use the hydrogen for power as and when you need it?
GENIUS! love it!
I've been thinking about this for a few hrs now.... explain to me again why batteries are a thing?
There is not going to be one thing to replace fosilfuels. Every application has it's one pros and cons.
Great job ! respect my friend.
I have heard that oxygen concentrationshould be lower than 4% in order to have safe hydrogen oxygen mixture. So is important to measure with accuracy the oxygen concentration. I have see cheap xygen meters on ebay approx. 80 euros.
dude that's a awesome setup. I too am into HHO (not separating the H2O and H) but for a torch since the flame takes on the meting point of what ever it hits which is a weird affect of the HHO flame.
Thanks!
Outstanding video, goes straight to the science on the need to control loss. I'm to concretely build one with goal of redirect the spare solar power produced on my weekend cabin home when I'n not there into a gas generator, and store some low pressure H2 for cooking when I get back. The result must be engineering-grade and have safe locks to self-off on any risky condition, and may become a product if done really well. Your video anticipates a lot on it.
This is awesome this man is awesome I’m am so happy I have seen this and this guy is so knowledgeable a pure genius design
I would think that to reduce the heat that is generated, you could add another neutral plate to get the voltage to 2V effectively and then increase the amperage to increase how many bubbles are coming off of there.
You have done very very well here though! I live off grid with solar panels and batteries here in Canada and in the long long summer days I really want to save the extra power that gets wasted once my batteries are fully charged. It would be really great to be able to store hydrogen!
I am surprised that you are not storing the oxygen too though. Welders pay good money for oxygen for their cutting torches and you can suck it back to feel good too! I guess it would just take quite a bit of work to also make a compressor unit for the oxygen side too.
I'm doing similar thing. Got solar panels. Panels charge batts, batts make hydrogen, hydrogen runs 4k watt genny, genny powers crib, charger charges batts at nite...
I'm working on it. Havent figured out everything I need to know to store hydrogen and convert gas engine 4 stroke genny
Nvr thought of storing oxygen
Ryan Davis if you run the hydrogen to the engine, also run the oxy there it will always have enough oxygen to burn fully if you do it like that
@@ryandavis4689 no need to separate the gasses if just feeding directly into the carburetor of the generator. Only thing to do is size your HHO generator to match the lpm required based on engine displacement. A 420cc engine would need between .25 and .5 lpm of HHO.
Is it not viable to store your extra power in a capacitor of some type for future use?
Absolutely love the spaceship scene switch & POP 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much !!!!
I’ve been needing some one for years to make video on a compressor system for DIY hho systems. Thank you 😁😁😁
Briliant, thank you.
You're crazy :))
Keep up the good work.
WWOOWW. What a video. Mate has got some proper brain power. I would like to see DIY on every component of this machine. Thanks Mate!
You sir... are a legend. Youve inspired me to continue my experiments and tinkering.
Love your work.
GENIUS!!!! I LOVE IT!
Loved your informative video!
So, I was wondering how much hydrogen it would take to do some cooking, or to heat a room, and I did a little research. Here's what I found...
Heat of combustion is 286kJ/mole
1 li hydrogen under standard temp & pressure = 1/22.4 mole
So, 1 litre of hydrogen can provide about 12.77 kJ of thermal energy,
which is equal to 3.55 Wh (1kJ = 0.2778 Watthour)
SO - to heat your workshop with one kW for one hour, you need to burn about 282 litres of hydrogen at atmospheric pressure! It looks as if the ALL the hydrogen it took you 8 hours to generate would keep you a little bit warm for only two hours!
Does anyone disagree with these numbers?
After I learned this, I felt disappointed and started to doubt whether we'll ever have a hydrogen economy! Nevertheless, I like how clean hydrogen can be, and I like that solar cells can be silently generating it every day, and maybe wind turbines even in the dark.
In the home it could be useful as stored energy backup for when there's no sun, and no wind either. I also like that we don't have to pay tax on it!
My main interest in hydrogen is to use it for cooking on a boat. It is less of an explosion risk than propane or butane, because it's light, and escapes up through windows, instead of collecting in the bottom of the boat just waiting for a spark (like butane or propane does).
Maybe things will get even more exciting when we learn to make our own fuel cell, and get some electricity back at night for lighting, running motors, etc! :)
Thanks for the calculations! Yes it's not very efficient but indeed when you use solar and wind it could be useful. And it's always better than doing nothing. Burning fossil fuels is also very inefficient and we keep doing that because it's very efficient money wise. Thanks again! 👍
@Sugito x: you seem to be a very knowledgeable man with the same vision as me about producing GREEN and SAFE energy. I would like to share technical thoughts and ideas via mail if you don't mind. my mail is marnix.degrie@outlook.com. Thanks!
where did you get "So, 1 litre of hydrogen can provide about 12.77 kJ of thermal energy" Link please.
If true your calculation on hydrogen required is way off the mark. Its not 282 liter but it takes Just 44 Liters to produce 2 KW to heat room for 2 hours.
With 282 Liters , you get 12 KW to heat room for 12 hours . But well insulated room can be kept warm for more than 24 hours with the same heating power.
If you are alive please reply.
@@davelawson2564 thanks for clarification, the contributions and debate that happens in the comments are as important as the video itself
If you run this via solar, ie. Once your batteries are full. This acts as a form of energy storage & lets you run a traditional combi boiler for free, what a genius idea!
My first time researching how to make and store hydrogen and I have to say, I loved your video. I will be looking for your follow-on videos.
Thanks! I think you might like this playlist of mine: ua-cam.com/play/PLTYlUGKLEk-GZfbXewpyRNn2iJ8RNepBd.html
Add a frequency generator into your circuitry and adjust it to maximum production. This will allow you to reduce the power on the unit with no reduction in gas production. Reduction of power also reduces heat production. Additionally, use ionic silver as the electrolyte, to reduce corrosion.
Please show us the one you have made David. Do you have a link?
@@MaxkwGisKaas Hi Tim, i just saw your request and i would if i could. i do not have a link, or even a photo. Save for research and basic uses, i do not use the computer much. i came to this late in life after a couple of white collar careers. i lack the tech training to even explain what i've done in any kind of meaningful way. i have a theory of why it works but i have no idea of the efficacy of my theory. i just know it works and i figure, if any of you bright guys can see your way to giving it a try, you would certainly have greater success than i.
This platform messes with me continually, and i often do not get notification of comments, as was the case with your comment. It was only happenstance that i saw your comment when i was responding to another.
i am accustomed to being responded to very rudely, i thank you for your kind inquiry.
The best to you and yours.
you need to build a basic PWM circuit
pulse width modulation
this gets driven by a frequency generator.
and using solar dc is best.
using 250v to make dc is not very efficient
use solar dc 30v and make big plates for the hydrogen generator with the method the guy uses to bring the plate voltage down.
stan meyors used pulse width circuit and not the old skool way with brute force current striaght to anode and cathode.
he used a pulse width frequency to crack the bond apart.
telsa said the secret to the universe is frequency..3 6 9
This video may be old but it's a living legend.
You can run 10kV through a thin wire or water or something similar and it wouldn't get hot, unless there is enough current. I like to explain it with flowing water. If you got a little lake high up in the mountains with a small outlet where the water rushes down into the valley with nothing that can stop it. It's like high voltage which can jump gaps of a few centimetres (or inches). Voltage just shows you how much resistance you can cross. And then there are long and slow river that are more easy to stop but are grinding way more through the riverbed. This is like current that if it's high enough turns the resistance into heat (like friction gets turned into heat). That's also why welders step up the current and not the voltage. I hope this explanation helped a little bit.
LG Pierrick
PS:
I have done my research and would recommend using 12V and to stay und 25 amps (or you could start to heat the water). If you got a larger container you might have to step up the voltage a little bit.
I also build generators. You my friend took it to a whole new level! You are a great problem solver!
Thank you so much!!!
Here is another idea I used for a power source.
I Use mains line voltage with a capacitor inline to limit power flowing Into a full bridge recitifyer. The inline capacitor adds capacitive reactance that impeds the current in to the rest of the circuit.
After rectification in the full bridge recitifyer, the power is smoothed with a capacitor inductor filter connected to the HHO generator. With out smoothing, rectified DC is pulced and an HHO generator is doing most of its production just part time and mostly inefficently when the voltages peek 100 or 120 times a second. Smoothing out the power so that it runs all the time lowers the voltage across the cell to its RMS and more efficent voltage.
Additionally, this circuit has a built in protection feature. Normally during electrolysis, the electrolyte heats up becoming more conductive conducting more current and making more heat in a thermal runaway that can cause damage or too much current draw. But in the circuit i described, as it heats up, its conductivity drops and the voltage drop across the HHO generator drops. That causes less current to flow and the HHO generated is generated a little slower but more efficently. Making less heat.
There is one down side to the circuit i described. It it has a low power factor which can limit how much real power can be delivered on a 15 or 20 amp circuit, But that shouldn't be a problem for most home DIY.
Thats awesome mate! Loved the whole project! What could you use the hydrogen for? Propane BBQ Grill ? :D
Thanks man! Well I’ve tried that, but because hydrogen and oxygen have such a wide range in which they will be explosive (as I’m showing in this video ua-cam.com/video/RPvuzTkJ4ik/v-deo.html) the flam backfires immediately after it has being ignited. I’ll do a video about it in the future ;)
This is where I currently use my hydrogen for ua-cam.com/video/PryCxyJ8Y2Y/v-deo.html
pretty slick ! especially the switch/balloon and the refrigerator compressor
I've been recently looking into hydrogen and oxygen production for a project I'm planning and this is so far the best video I've found. I'd really like to see more of this generator you have, just for educational purposes. I have a plan that I'm going to test but before I use the materials I have, I was wanting to see a bit more about the transformer and membrane. Most of the videos are using car batteries and do not separate the 2 gases either (hydroxy gas is ok if you're making a torch which I am not) so I'm just trying to make sure I have more facts than assumptions.
Thanks! I'm working on upgrading my generator at the moment, so a new video will come soon.
id like to see a simple experience fill a ballon of hho and wait till it fully convert back to water and record the time it take todo so xD
That is a good idea thanks for the tip! It will be a nice experiment! Will do in a while.
Well at first I thought you are just another trolling conspiracy theorist. However, as someone who is into this topic since I was 14 years old, and built my first big 2lpm drycell with 16 and am now at university studying chemistry, I am quite impressed by your work. People who are into this topic and actually know what they are doing are very rare. Love your ideas and also as far as I am able to see everything you told is actually correct. Great idea with the kitchen towel, never thought about that easy method of seperation. Is there still enough space between the towel and the plates for the gases to escape? I think I need to try this with one of my cells too. Really great channel you have, I am gonna drop a sub.
If you are interested in my drycell setup, you can watch it over at my channel if you want.
Love from Austria 😄
Thank you so much! The distance between the electrode and the membrane is 4mm so plenty of space! I subbed to your channel to and going to look for your generator. Thanks for subscribing!
very nice project 👍🏼
Great work , now we need this as portable generator , so we can buy and power our houses ,All the best.
Excellent video. Do you have a plan for this? I would love to make one aswell and connect it to my homemade V.A.W.T. would love some further info. Thanks and respect.
Thank you very much! Yes I'm currently making a solar tracker to which I can attatch a solar panel that will always face the sun. A V.A.W.T is also nice! Do you have a video of your V.A.W.T?
The DIY Science Guy. I dont have a youtube channel with video's (yet) but i do have all the plans and am willing to share. Still sorting out the charge controller for it at the monent.
Hi Onkel, what is a VAWT??? sounds interesting!
Vertical axis wind turbine
the tape hypothesis was sufficient doggie. 👍
Goed werk meneer! Thank you!
Excellent! Very impressive.
Amazing!
Theoretically you only need 1.23 Volts to split water into hydrogen and oxygen (usually a bit more). The amount of H2 is only dependent on the amount of electrons flowing through the solution, not the voltage. Everything above a few volts will get converted into heat. The energy you put in to the H2 is about 1.23V*I*t. The energy you spend is U*I*t, where U is the applied voltage.
Thank you for your information.
What you are saying is in efficient, since you have heat losses, amps generate heat. Meyer didnt use high amps but the opposite high voltage low amp and high frequency
Yes. And meyer's concept has been proven wrong over and over again. Generating hydrogen with electricity is just not very efficient, not yet anyway.....
@@TheDIYScienceGuy I heard Stan Meyer used resonance frequency to split water.
My HHO Run @ 7.75 V soda till 40 amperus lokus! Top Vid.
First time I have ever subscribed to anything. Tie this with solar cells, I can see it going commercial. Don't forget to save the oxygen also, it is a valuable commodity.
Have you given any thought to making a carbon hydride to store the hydrogen? There is some talk of using chicken feathers heated until they're turned into an activated carbon which can store hydrogen at lower pressures.
Ok very nice idea! Gives me something to think about. Thanks so much!
It would be good to exchange mail contacts, to collaborate on a pure hydrogen cell separator, and how to make it
Good idea!
Hi is there a chance you may wanna give the blueprints out for the compression unit?
I have a diagram on Instagram which you are free to use instagram.com/p/Bpl2pLijM7z/?igshid=1nf4wjfti64wr
Very good explanations, thank you!!
Thank You for the great video and information. I am a little lost on everything due to my lack of knowledge. I have to learn more about this. I saw some videos of using hho to run small engines. nobody said anything about the danger of oxygen mixed with the hydrogen. Again Thank You.
Thank you!! And your welkome. I'm glad to hear you now know about the safety issues!
I like how the bubbles start to form in the bowl of water before the stainless strips even start to form bubbles. 0:50
"This is my really dodgy transformer"
😜
Very interesting and useful video. Keep up the good work !
You’re bad to the bone brother. Best HHO generator available on the web. Awesome man!
3:20 WRONG. the heat is given off because water has resistance, 2 volts are needed to split water, the other ten are wasted heat W=V*I=R*I^2
Except water's differential resistance is not constant across all voltages. There's a dip in resistance when the mean thermal energy of the free electrons equals the first excitation energy of a hydrogen-oxygen bond
You're not totally wrong, but neither is OP
Cool video. I thought of using a 12 V 60 A battery charger to put through the cell. This can generate 180 litres of Oxygen each day.
Each anode is inside an inverted plastic tube to prevent mixing of gases.
As an electrolyte I used water with baking soda. I also tried water with sulphuric acid. I preferred baking soda because it is less corrosive and less likely to give off toxic gases.
I haven't tried hydroxides, though I heard KOH is the best.
-------
I like the idea of neutral plates and water cooling.
-------
A human being needs 550 litres of pure oxygen a day. Your cell produces 35 litres of oxygen per hour = 840 litres per day, so you could survive without any external air - and use the hydrogen to keep warm and do cooking.
-------
I have never tried gas compression. If you are compressing it to 12 atmospheres, then your gas cylinder can hold 12 times its volume. It looks like a 100 litre gas tank, so it should be able to hold 1200 litres of gas - 2 days supply of oxygen. Maybe you should use a detector to detect if there is oxygen in the mix - and set off an alarm.
With the current Corona virus, many people need access to oxygen ventilation.
Thanks! Yes but please never inhale the oxygen you made yourself, because you never now what other stuff is in there.
This video never ceases to amaze me, I watched it 3 years ago thinking thats an excellent idea, now I'm putting together some dry cells and I was wondering if youd be able to provide a electrical diagram for the compressor?
Thanks! I have a diagram on Instagram: instagram.com/p/Bpl2pLijM7z/?igshid=dc4u1g3qwp6w I hope it helps! Good luck!
Stumbled across, it was fun. Loved it. Really DIY.
From Pakistan 👍
Great Video, I found inspiration and ideas while watching, you explain your actions and thoughts well, and helped me to better understand solutions to the problems that arise when creating a personal electrolysis unit.
