Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Random off the wall half baked idea here: Maybe this colloidal catalyst effect can work with photovoltaics. A solar cell is just another unique form of a galvanic cell. Just tossing it out there...

Good and surprising news everyone,
For some reason the reactor began to increase its gas output and has been running both the zinc regeneration AND the fan. So it is working as it should, and it has been for the last 4 hours.

Notice on the video that the electrolyte solution is a brownish color. This is from the silver colloid, and in all my previous tests the silver has always settled out. This reactor, however, because of the regeneration that is occuring, I believe this is why it is staying more stable and cleaner. The silver colloid is regenerating, as well as the zinc and most likely the magnesium colloid too. Which is a clear colloid and cannot be seen.

I think we have a long-term test finally underway. total 48 hours reactor running so far with both the fan and regeneration at about five hours. That means I seem to have reached an equilibrium at this point. right where I want to be.

I will do draw testing later. I want it to run overnight at least before I start messing with it.

Thanks everyone for your interest.

Actually, I now realize why. Just an hour or so before this happened I inclined the reactor slightly so the bubbles could flow off the electrodes more easily than when the reactor was flat level. This appears to be what made the difference.

The simple things we miss.

Thank you for your interest.

Excellent work RR. Can't wait to see how this one goes

Hi Darc,
I agree, I can't wait to see how this goes either. It just past the 71 hour mark and it is running just as I had hoped. I switched the electrodes again and there is no evidence of zincates. The solution is a beautiful brownish color, and the fan and regeneration voltage are running nice and steady. The zinc electrodes look smooth and uniform, very much unlike the jagged, craggy, and blobbish zincates that had formed for me in the past.

Wow, I am very surprised and happy right now. I hope it continues and I hope my maintenance procedures are correct.

Sometime down the road I will have to add water to it. That is when the other reactor run died. I have my fingers crossed it won't be because of water addition; but this run is different. The zincates are not there now like they were there then. The smaller fuel cell is more efficient and it is holding a higher regeneration voltage. Looking at the Airgen website there is a presentation that shows that a voltage of 0.8 volts was needed for theoretical regeneration. Practical voltage was 0.9 volts. Mine has been in the range of 0.87-0.817 volts. This sounds good.

Thanks everyone for your interest.
