Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

YOU GUYS MIGHT TRY TRASH DIGGING AT SOME DRILLBIT FACTORYS FOR TUNGSTEN CARBIDE

SOME DRILL BITS FOR OIL FIELD WELLS ARE MADE OF MOSTLY TUGNSTEN CARBIDE ALSO THE PADS ON THE SIDE AND THE CUTTERS ARE PURE T.C.OR DIAMOND CARBIDE

- I USED TO MAKE THEM

T.C. POWDER HELD IN PLACE BY A COPPER/ZINC (I THINK) ALLOY THEN HEATED TO MELT THE COPPER INTO THE TUNGSTEN POWDER

WE USED TO THROW OUT  A BIT OF IT WHEN THE CANS IT COMES IN RUN OUT-
(PROBLY ILLEGAL TO DO THAT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT-OIL COMPANYS ARE BAD ON THE ENVIRO!!)

HOPE THIS HELPS
YOU GUYS ROCK KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

hi RR, good to see you still at it.. im dying to see it running, you should get webcamXP and stream it for the world to see lol. how far off are  you from running ?

Hi motofox,
I cemented the final glass piece on just a few minutes ago. All that is left is for the unit to dry for several days to be sure all the cemented joints are cured. Then, fingers crossed, I will test for leaks with plain water. If it looks good then all systems are go for the launch of HR2 (Hydrogen Reactor 2) (LOL).

I want to put a few pin-stripes on it to pretty it up a bit, then I will post some pictures.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Uli,

Yes, I looked at that link. Those are pure tungsten sheets. They will give off gas very slowly. I wouldn't buy them if I were you. You need tungsten/carbide sheets.

Sorry

Thanks for the tip. Looks I just wasted 60 bucks. I checked out other tungsten carbide links also. Anther option would be to use TC granules inside a copper mesh cage. This would give you a huge surface area for the volume. I think I will give this a go.

Hi Uli,
The only problem with using the copper mesh cage is that the copper would be below the reaction liquid. That means it would be subject to chemical attack by the electrolyte solution. It would oxidize and turn green, contaminating your electrolyte solution. I know this because I have gone this route similarly before. The copper must be above or outside the liquid completely. That is why this project has been quite a journey for me. I have made a great number of mistakes and failures so far. Only the tungsten/carbide and the zinc can be in contact with the solution.

Bummer, I know, but unfortunately true. I guess you can see why I was ending up with what I have, though tungsten/carbide sheets sound like a good idea. If you can find them and if they are not too, too very expensive.

Best of luck to you.

Ok, I thought that might be the case. But what about encasing the TC granules in a plastic mesh such as nylon. Even a nylon stocking stretched over a coarser plastic lattice tube would do the trick. If this tube extends above the liquid level and the copper wire is inserted into the granules not lower than the liquid level, it should work, no? I am just thinking of the greatly enhanced surface area you would get from granules. . It would be thousands of times greater than rods for the same volume. You can buy granules for $70US/pound. Another option would be 316grade stainless mesh. But the alloys in the stainless might upset the reaction. Have you tried this? Also, have you calculated the energy balance for the zinc regeneration versus equivalent hydrogen output? The patent is a bit sketchy on this. Linnard talkes about it in experiment #14 but does not give any details of current draw e.t.c.
