Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

[ResinRat2]

Hi Everyone,

I got the reactor mounted and patched up and tested with water. No Leaks!! LOL.

I will be mixing up the reactor solution tommorrow, getting too late tonight already.

Just for everyone's interest, I obtained a picture of Dr. Linnard Griffin during his Texas Hydrogen Show display a couple of weeks ago. Now we can all see the face behind the genius and his company Airgen. He is the white-haired gentleman and the reactor in front of him is running seven fuel cells. (Yes, I said SEVEN) There are other smaller reactors in the picture that are running other devices too.

This is just a hint of the potential. Can you imagine the desert areas that are part of the United States; areas that are useless to us and provide no natural resourses? Can you imagine rows and rows of large Airgen-type reactors producing electricity and running off the hot desert ambient air temperature; producing no pollution and using no fuel. Just running off the hot desert sun?

Can you imagine your electric car with an Airgen-type generator under the hood that charges your batteries as it sits; generating electricity off the ambient air temperature? Can you imagine a world where every electrical device has an Airgen-type reactor that is small but charges your device's batteries just by sitting idle? Sucking air energy.

Can you imagine a world where oil is obsolete? I can. I am building a small prototype right in my home, and I will see it working soon.

Can you imagine the future? I can.

Thank you Dr. Griffin, the world will thank you some day soon as well.

Hi ResinRat,
many thanks for posting this very nice picture and please keep us updated on
your building progress !
Makes me happy to see something finally come together !

Best regards, Stefan.

ResinR, Are you using the same ingredients and ratios with which you started?
Do you feel that the rods need to be the same or approximate diameters?


Thank you for doing this work and for being open with it.

Hi Yikes,

The ratios of the chemicals are the same as Experiment #13 in the patent. I tried vaying each one. By increasing the NaOH I found that it changed the solubility and caused precipitation of one (or possibly both) of the colloids. I believe it was the silver that started to kick out but I'm not sure. I also tried increasing the magnesium colloid because, based off the chemical equations in the patent, it looked like it was the one that encouraged the regeneration of the zinc. This is the chemical reaction that has the slowest rate, so I tried to speed it up by increasing the concentration and shifting the equilibrium of the cell to favor zinc regeneration. This did not noticeably work, and eventually the magnesium concentration was so high that it too began to cause preciptitation in the cell. Then it began to slow down the hydrogen generation rate. This was not good either. So after all my grunt work I found that the original concentrations given in the patent worked the best for that system.

As far as the diameters of the electrodes. I found that when I increased the area of the tungsten/carbide electrodes (actually I am using 2%thoriated because it was the only one available here in my area) from 1/16" diameter to 1/8" diameter that the rate of the hydrogen production increased. Also by adding more rods, the rate increased as well. So by having the total surface area of the tungsten rods larger than the zinc area you have an increase in the hydrogen production rate.

So my advice is to have the tungsten area larger than the zinc. Larger diameter tungsten rods seem to work better as well.

That's all I can say so far on that subject.

My cell is almost ready. I am trying to secure the fuel cells and funnel. I want everything steady and working and draining properly. So progress is coming along, just not as fast as I would like. Now we have the Easter Holiday so I am busy here on this as well. Very soon I will be producing my own small bit of electricity; a long-term test will begin shortly.

I do miss Dingus Mungus's input. I haven't heard from him in a while.

Thank you everyone for your interest.

ResinR,

Thank you.

The posts between you and Mingus were exciting reading.  I hope they continue.  Are you satisfied with your fuel cell?  You did change to H/O from H/air, right?
