Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

FYI... Do NOT mix the silver and magnesium together... add one at a time to the Alkali mix... They react and turn milky white when mixed together alone.

sigh...

Tried a batch today and got a decent amount of gas coming off... but the gas was NOT Hydrogen... It itched the back of my throat but did not have the chlorine aftertaste.

Will try again soon... more slowly this time.

Hi Chris,

Yes, the colloids need to be added one at a time to the NaOH solution.

The gas coming off the tungsten/carbide electrodes is hydrogen. The irritation you feel at the back of your throat is the sodium hydroxide. I mentioned this in my previous experiments. The sodium hydroxide seems to have a tendancy to slightly rise with the bubbles and get carried above the alkali solution. This can irritate your throat if you breathe it. This does not happen with the Potassium Hydroxide. That is one of the reasons I use Potassium Hydroxide exclusively now.

Once you start directing the gas through a tube to wherever you desire the small amount of sodium hydroxide that rises with the bubbles will sublime on some areas at the top of your container and inside the tube. It washes down easily with water. This does not seem to happen with the Potassium Hydroxide.

Hi Dave,

I have had some success using graphite rods instead of the tungsten electrode... it's the least reactive electrode I could think of...

I need to make sure that the CO2 hungry Sodium Hydroxide isn't reacting or breaking the rods down tho?

Next step is to try a bed of activated carbon! Couple ACRES of surface area might do better than a few square feet of tungsten

Hi Chris,

OOOhhhhh ... introducing carbon rods. Paragraph [0060] of the patent shows the use of a non metal like carbon or sulfur to speed the production of the hydrogen. It gives off a by- product of CO₂ as the hydrogen is produced and consumes the carbon.

I remember a video Dr. Griffin put on the net a while back that showed a carbon rod attached to aluminium or iron or zinc or some other metal. I don't remember exactly.

The reactions in his videos were always acid reactions, so probably not a base-carbon cell but an acid-carbon cell.

Yes, I am very interested.

Thanks for your efforts

Thanks Dave,

I always thought as Sodium Hydroxide has been used in common water electrolysis to improve the reaction, I didn't think it would be used if it produced CO2 instead of O2?

If CO2 is in fact coming off the Alkali solution would literally EAT it?

Thanks,

Chris
