New low voltage electrolysis process from Dr. Linnard Griffin

[hartiberlin]

I also found again the old picture from Linnard´s first Hydrogen generator,
that he had posted at oupower.com

He never revealed completely , how he had built it,
but now it is clear, that he used Al2O3 and Fe304
in  sulfuric acid diluted with water and got a very nice hydrogen output.

Did anybody of you try this already and could see,
how long this reaction lasts ?

Ive never heard of this device before.

But, using sulfuric acid and Al Fe, seems as if all that is needed is to connect via resistor(or a load) to the plates( Al Fe) and no input should be required. It is a battery.

I wonder how much HHO comes from a normal auto battery while charging?  If the gas is being produced and just expelled, then what a waste.

Maybe in Linnards case, producing HHO is more eff during charging. The input must be configured in charge mode, not series discharge mode, no? Being that the acid, Al ,Fe should be a battery in itself.  More degradation to plates in discharge than in charge.  ;]

Hello Stefan,

Dr. Linnard had told me years ago that the reason the go-kart did not go far is because the large plastic container cracked and started spilling everything out. That's why the go-kart stopped and the girl who was driving it was pointing backwards at it.

The novel part of the reaction was that he was using colloidal silver and colloidal magnesium in the electrolyte mix. No oxygen was released into the chamber, it was all tied up in the aluminum as the reaction progressed. So the aluminum was consumed and only pure hydrogen was produced.
My experiments never had a huge output of hydrogen because he was using a proprietary electrode as the cathode. It was called Incoloy 800 and was produced by a company named Special Metals Corporation.

I never ordered any, and I never personally did experiments with it. All my experiments used tungsten or tungsten carbide as the cathode with zinc as the anode. They gave out pitiful amounts of gas output. By that time my experimenting with this technology was finished and I was waiting for Dr. Griffin to start producing hydrogen commercially.

That apparently never materialized.
