Powering a HFC using mixed H2 & O2

[Tacmatricx]

Ok Guys/Gals,

Do not attempt to build this! According to this site:http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/Pt/key.html

"Hydrogen and oxygen gas mixtures explode in the presence of platinum wire." Which would make the cell and the electrolyser... cease to exist?

I'll be working on a way to separate the gasses in the electrolyser itself or building a tesla turbine to burn the gasses in running an electric generator.

Thanks,

Chris

perhaps you could substitute this platinum coating, with one of titanium nitride (TiN).

this would give you the same desired effect, but without the electrolytic reaction with the hydrogen metal. (boom!)

Hi sm0ky2,

That sounds like a way forward... I was thinking about separating the H2 and O2 in the cell itself maybe with a latex tube between the layers or something similar to separate the gasses. I want to try it with a condom or something and see if I get much less gas production.

Otherwise I will use the cell to drive a simple looped car turbo turbine which will run a generator. Not the ideal solid state with no moving parts solution but I should get more power this way.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Chris
