Title: hydrogen - carbon fiber question
Post by: fleebell on June 13, 2006, 03:51:37 AM
 I have been searching but haven't found anything on this yet so I'm asking here. Have any of you folks doing all the electrolisis experiments in the various ways tried using carbon fiber cloth as electrodes?    I wanted to ask before spending my small test budget on some of the cloth.   I don't see any point in repeating what someone else has already tried if it didn't help or work.   It just seems to me that it would give a really large electrical surface for it's physical size and might allow more gas to be created from the same size container than with standard metal electrodes.  If I'm wasting my time in this direction let me know ok?

Thanks

When you read in the google-listed "aqua-fuel,aquafuel"-pages
then you will find probably a link to a taiwanese invention of
carbon-fiber use for hydrolysis !
I think the inventor surname is Lee !
Applicant:National Institute

Go to this site:

This is a method of generating H2 and CO by striking
an arc underwater using carbon electrodes. But the
electrodes burn out and need replacing.

I think that what you are referring to is a patent
for replacing the carbon rods with a continuous reel
of carbon in a fibrous form to avoid changing the rods
every so often.

Thanks folks, the way it is being used there that isn't the way I was thinking of using it but at least I know it's already been tried and it isn't worth wasting the money to try it again.....
