Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Hi Chris,

Yes, I suspected it would eventually heat up without the zinc to balance the reduction potential. This means it has no chance for overunity. The only way overunity would happen is if it would absorb the heat from the surrounding air, this would require it to be endothermic.

This means the anode was being oxidized. That's why it gave off no bubbles.

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to perform the experiment. At least we know something else that won't work.

I believe you're right about the oxidation as well as your earlier warnings about the NaOH causing an itchy throat. I'm breaking bown the experiment now. I ran it for longer and I was wrong on my original observations. (used electrodes) It was only the anode that was being oxidized, but there is now a black film/plate on the cathode. Let me know if you want me to try anything else out.

Hi Chris,

The tungsten must be plating itself onto the other electrode. I suspected it might, but I was hoping for the endothermic result. Oh well, I guess the original cell composition is the best.

I will bubble the gas through water before I put it through the fuel cell. Hopefully this will catch the NaOH vapors. Some type of filter could probably be developed to catch the NaOH. It could then just be reintroduced back into the water to recycle it. That's for later research. Right now the reactor is being completed.

Thanks everyone for your interest.

Hi Everyone,

Here's some pics of the completed (one more step) reactor. I need to allow the sealer to dry for a couple of days. Then I will add the electrolyte solution, seal the lid with high pressure silicone, then let the long-term testing begin.

The pics show the two tungsten/carbide electrodes. The thin one will be used for regeneration. The rest of the chamber will be filled with other 1/4" tungsten/carbide electrodes. The lid is shown off with the holding pins for you to see. The gasket sealer is right there as well. You can also see the gas ports. One for hydrogen, the other for oxygen.

The initial testing will be looking for leaks. This was carefully made so (fingers-Crossed) hopefully no leaks.

So a couple of more days to dry. Then the fun begins (finally).

Thank you for your interest.

WOO HOO!
*does happy dance*
I can't wait for the runtime data!
SO EXCITING!!!
