Huge on Demand Hydrogen production

[MarkEngr]

I watched the video again and they said that there were two substances in the cup.  A black one and salt. The salt is the round objects and the black powder is the other one which were are walking on and can be mined. The amount of hydrogen produced is related to the amount of surface area provided by the two substances. You can regulate the hydrogen and temperature "since we clearly saw steam" by controlling the amount of water in touch with the substances.

The byproduct is a substance that is in demand in the glass industry. I found a recipe for 2000lbs of amber colored glass.

Sand 1,000 (pounds)
Cullet 500   
Ash 390   
Lime, burnt 100   
Borax 3   
Sulphur 2   
Carbon 1   

Do you think that one of these could be the byproduct?

I'm not a chemist, just someone who just likes to play with things like this when the kids aren't around.
It's the original version of todays disposable thermal body wraps (without the hydrogen gas inhibitors added).

Salt (NaCl) actually about any metal salt would work
Carbon (Activated best but others will work) Holds water better
Sand ( Provides additional water holding material)
and if you really want to see that baby go...
add the magical ingredient, ta-da...

Iron Powder

add water and watch the exothermic reaction begin....

See the attached patent on a somewhat updated version of the process starting at 7 and
reading all of 8.  They do mention the addition of the hydrogen gas inhibitors... darn it.. 

I wanted to strap an oversize thermal wrap around my Chevy and hit the road...

I think (90% sure) it is Boron (B)
http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Hydrogen_from_Water_using_Boron

Looks the same. (look at pic in peswiki)

I looked it up in "The "Universal One" and Berrlyium should have the best reaction with water, but it has a rock hard oxide. the next best was Boron, (and lithium should also react).

But there is a catch, Boron is to expensive, when it reacts it oxidizes, this can be recycled with i think electrolisys.
and the Naoh is probably used to get the water at a temp so it wil react with the boron.

hahaha, in the vid the cup is already dissolving before it gets burned!

Someone on Youtube comments  exposed it and Steve Harris told more.

Yes, it is the Ferrosilicon process.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrosilicon

Quote:

Ferrosilicon is used by the military to quickly produce hydrogen for balloons by the ferrosilicon method. The chemical reaction uses sodium hydroxide, ferrosilicon, and water. The generator is small enough to fit a truck and requires only a small amount of electric power, the materials are stable and not combustible, and they do not generate hydrogen until mixed.

So FeSi powder is mixed with NaOH and then water is added.
Steam and H2 is coming out.


But as user dlwammo

========================================


This would even be a cheaper way to produce hydrogen,
as you could get all the ingredients readily available from the
supermarket and fish supply store ( Activated carbon)

Has  anyone other than  user dlwammo
tried this reaction and can post a youtube video of it ?
Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

this link is to the yourtube vid i ripped for a backup very highly compressed though  and for those where youtube banned. Its in the repo  section. I think if i made it any smaller i could have posted it here:)
