Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Hi Chris,

Sorry, I initially misunderstood what you meant by zinc caps, I thought they went on the inside of the cell like a type of covering over the ss bolts. Now I see they are bottom caps. This should work for the zinc side. Then you can actually do the electrical connection right to the cap. This sounds to me like you have a good idea as long as there is a good seal to the pvc.

That would be a simple solution.

Thanks again,

Dave

Then I'll purchase some this weekend.
Till then, good luck on your experiments!

I think I may have a better idea for the zinc plugs...

The ID of 1" schedule 40 PVC is 1.029", If I get 4"x1"od solid extruded zinc round bars, we could use a silicon sealing sleave to plug the legs. I would have to find a caulk or sealent resistant to hydroxies first though. Then you could simply place your high surface area zinc anodes on top of the zinc plug. if the reactor then goes for a long time without a reducing cycle, the plug would hold out. Its cheaper/easier and (most importantly) a long term solution.

What do you think?

Sounds like you have a good idea there Chris.

Thanks again,

Well then,

Sounds like the best solution yet, but do any of the silent readers have any other suggestions? Feel free to chime in anytime. As for me, I'm getting ready to move in to my own place again. So money will be a little tight for me for the next month or more (deposits), but as soon as I cash that check I'll order the last of the components required to finish and ship your reactor. I'm sorry its taking me so long to finalize the design, but I assure you the final product should work like a charm with your fuel cell.

Thanks again,

@ the silent readers
It's not too late to get involved in this project. All the chemicals involved are easily obtained, and we could always use more people doing research. If hydrogen is your core interest, then this is the project to get involved in. Feel free to ask questions or give input till then. Thanks!
