Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

[triffid]

Just a couple of chemistry tips :1.)  20 drops of water from a normal eyedropper equals one ml.
2.)one cubic centimeter water = one ml=one gram(of water)
3.) water is both a weak base and a weak acid.
I don't know how number three fits into the work here but I have a hunch that it does.Have a good weekend all.Triffid

Hi All,

I finally have the regeneration timer going. This is set up with Tacimatrix setup three-electrodes with regeneration. I have the timer operational. It is made from an old wall clock I modified to switch the regeneration (0.885 volts) on and off every five minutes while the hydrogen is in production all the time.

This simulates one fuel cell being used to run the timer and the other fuel cell being used for regeneration. The timer runs off 1.5 volts and the regeneration is being controlled by a variac so 0.883 volts is being used for zinc regeneration.

This experiment will be used to determine optimum  on-off intervals to maintain zinc regeneration and avoid zincate formation. Pictures will be posted as soon as I cut them down to proper file size.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Chris (Tacmatricx ),

The system seems to be running very smoothly right now. I don't see any evidence of zincates yet, and it is sooooo nice not having to switch the power on and off by hand. If I need to go back to the two zinc electrode system then this unit will do all the switching for me. I also think the shorter switching time is better for the zinc regeneration. It looks clean so far, nice zinc regeneration, although I still don't think enough oxygen is coming off. The hydrogen production is good so the oxygen is going somewhere.

Thanks for your interest.

I ran across a method for making NaOH and KaOH at home from salt solutions and electricity.If anyone is interested please PM me.If you have kids or pets at home I recommend you don't make these at home.I have a friend whose cat knocked over a jar of liquid(baking soda solution).He was lucky,it just created a mess that time.But if it had been a base or acid it would have been a lot worse.Also NaOH at least (or KaOH) can be bought in the dry form from home depot or Lowe's in the drain clearing section of the store.
My radio shack does not sell etching solution(Fe Cl3).So I guess I will get some HCl and iron together and jump start the iron experiment I want to do.Triffid
