Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Hi Dingus,

Does your stove or bathroom have a vent? (lol)

ROFL!!! 

I think I'll just work outdoors on this one... I just hope no one steals or destroys it.
I'll just have to get a house next year, I really need a better workspace soon...

Hi Dingus,

Actually, sealing the system in a enclosed case, totally isolated from light is a great idea. A balanced system can be kept balanced by monitoring any voltage changes and interjecting energy if the zinc needs to be replated or tweaked.

This is a very interesting concept, once the cell is developed that is.

The concept of a sealed cell design is really simple: only heat can get in and only electricity can get out. (in theory)
If we can meet those two requirements with even your current cell design would work. My only real concerns
with that design is: (1) escaping hydrogen since its so crazy small (2) wattage generated by the fuelcell must be sparingly and carefully applied to the electrolysis reactor.

Its hard for me to descirbe my fear in how its related to applying the full potential of the fuel cell to the reator. An analogy would be: if you had a wheel that would always spin at the same speed while generating power, and you used that power to spin the wheel faster thus generating more power. The result would be a wheel accelerating until it tore itself in to chunks of shrapnel. I don't know if this analogy works with the chemistry of this cell, but its still a scary thought to imagine that exponetial potential growth when involving hydrogen reactions... Maybe I'm being silly since there is a max production rate based on surface area and temperature, I dont really know though. Altho if the cell is indeed endothermic in nature, perhaps applying the full potential of the fuelcell to the electrolysis reactor would result in the reactors rapid loss of temperature, thereby slowing the reaction by lowering the Gibbs FE present.

Are there any alternative ideas for a even simpler sealed reactor. Stefan had metioned building our own fuel cells, perhaps he would have some insight on how to even further minimize the cells component count and costs.

Anyone else replicating this cell???

I have a question .. please feel free to answer if you are more cluey than my year 12 chemistry credentials...

CO in the presence of HH0 in solution with the carbon rod replacement in experiment 12.
Was just thinking in terms of the proximity of the anode and cathode and the free electrons potentially creating enough heat to create the CO.

Would this influence the break of HH0 into H2 O2.

Kind of just guessing here .. so no need to go into a full explanation if you know straight of the top of your head that its not relevant.
