Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Cheers Dave!

Ideally you wouldn't use up anything? If you are efficiently breaking the water molecule using this setup as a catalytic reaction of sorts and you provide an oxygen feed and a hydrogen feed to the fuel cell... your by product is water that could be stored and pumped back into the original cell? no consumables I'd rather not have to hear fill 'er up again 

My dream is to build a power source that will outlive me

Thanks again for this thread!

One other thing, watch the tungsten electrode that is producing the hydrogen gas. Carefully see if the zinc starts to plate on it. That will mean your voltage is too high for the regeneration and needs to be dropped a bit. I don't know how much because my experiments never went this far, but it is probably around that 0.83-0.85 volts.

Just an educated guess.

This is great to see, hope it works out.

The magnesium colloid in the electrolyte solution helps to regenerate the zinc, but the reaction is a bit too slow to keep up, that is why the regeneration voltage is applied, to help speed the reaction to balance. This is great.

Yes, I hope it does out live you and I LOL!!!

Cheers Dave,

Will keep an eye on that electrode. I am running a micro cell (35mL) to yours to prove that the reactants are not consumed. If I can keep this thing going for a month. I guess that would prove it?

Will be adding Hydrogen Fuel cells to the setup shortly and a test load.

Thanks again,

Here's a dilution calculator I threw together for all those that had the same problem I had!
