Home Made Fuel Cell (Information Wanted)

[farleft]

Has anyone found a real way to produce a fuel cell that has practical output values? i.e. 12v or 120v? (excluding corporate america)
Also can  hydroxy (HHO) gas be used for the fuel? or does it need to to be H only?  I love everyones hard work on HHO generators but other then internal combustion power, I'm looking for the next step in efficient consumption of this wounderfull fuel.
If no one has a prototype that they want to share, can one be purchased online to run trials with? I am currently running trials w/ solar, and have has some fair results- but wanting to find something w/ more potential-- like HHO into Electricity.

P.S. I applaud everyones very hard work that they do in their R & D. What a wonderful on line community to help and encourage one another!

G'day farleft and all,

A fuel cell cannot operate on hydrogen only as it needs the oxygen to revert to water.

@FarLeft

you could try to pack high surface graphite beads or rods
with colloidal silver or simular metals to try to substitute the
platinum to get them much cheaper.

If you can achieve to split the H2 into H3O+ ions and
and the O2 into OH- ions at the graphite electrode surfaces
you will have the desired effect of a fuel cell battery.

Check out the function of a supercap for reference.

  Everytime I Read on HHO, I see brillant, well found answers for the 3 of you.(and others of coarse) -Like the 3 Wise men!  Wow, how advanced and seemingly prolific you are in you answers!  I often feel remedial in my questions, and lack of understanding, but appreciate you patience!

      But I would have to seperate the H and O and introduce them on seperate sides of the electrolyte in order for the chemical reaction to take place correct?
