Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

[pg46]

ResinRat2-

Anytime you place aluminum into some sodium Hydroxide you're going to get quite a reaction. The aluminum reacts violently giving off mucho hydrogen gas, creating a lot of heat and finally leaving behind black aluminum oxide in the remaining solution.
A very difficult reaction to control indeed.

Hi pg46,

Yes, the reaction of aluminum in NaOH solution was reacting very vigorously, but what was interesting is that there was NO exotherm during this reaction. This must be due to the aluminum regeneration through the magnesium colloid in this solution.


2Al⁺³ + 3Mg_c --> 3Mg⁺² + 2Al



Unfortunately it does not quite keep up with the reaction that produces Hydrogen and consumes the Aluminum; but it does help eliminate the exotherm.

I just wanted to see if this could be controlled electrically. I proved that it could, but it would take careful voltage regulation so that it would stop the hydrogen generation at the aluminum electrode and hopefully
just enough so that the hydrogen generation at the Tungsten-Carbide
electrode would be at nothing or a very minimum. I believe this could be done but not with the equipment I have at this time.

This experiment was not a waste of time. It was research into how this reaction can be influenced and possibly controlled. This technology that Linnard has developed is unique. It has many aspects that can be investigated. Just because we know that aluminum in NaOH solution will give off hydrogen does not mean this experiment was useless. I actually controlled and stopped the generation of hydrogen off the aluminum electrode with reversed energy, and by using the colloids in the solution there must have been some aluminum regeneration. I don't know how much, but it helps to extend the reaction and increase its production of gas.

I will go back to Experiment #13 as it was originally designed with a zinc electrode and work on developing the three-way, low-voltage circuit that I believe can be used to generate efficient hydrogen and oxygen gases to run a fuel cell. Dingus Mungus and I hypothesize that by controlling the hydrogen and oxygen production; and also by controlling the zinc regeneration; enough power can be produced from a fuel cell above these reactions to achieve over-unity. This is based off experimental data that shows that the battery I used for over 5 days of on and off switching of the circuits (not continuously, but intermittently over five days of switching boredom) barely showed any draining of power.

This, I believe, is worth pursuing with further research.

Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for the great updates!

I'm slightly worried though... Are you still doing this indoors?
I have most of my components now just waiting on my colloidal Mg.

I really wanted to start this weekend but its not in the cards.


Maybe this week I'll be able to do some experiments after work.


Thanks for keeping us updated!

Hi Dingus,

The last few days out here in the Midwest we have had outdoor temperatures in the teens! Work outside? --> I don't think so.

I've kept all my experiments under a vent. I don't want to blow myself up.

Right now I am waiting on the zinc rods (they should be in on December 5th) and I am working on the switching system. I want to be able to switch between the three circuits and Pese gave me an idea how to do it. I've got almost all the parts. I also picked up a voltage-meter.

Slow and steady; progress is being made.

I see your point, but I hope your squirrel cage fan is brushless...

Great news about your pure anodes coming! Also did I read that you have already obtained pure WC samples? I'm quite excited to hear more about your latest work with the series/parallel reactors. After I do my initial time trial cell tests I will be working on the fuel cell concept...

Do you know of a common component that would allow me to easily measure the cfm of gas produced from a unit? With that measuring ability I could more easily balance the reactor with the fuel cell. That way the reactor can never produce more gas then the fuel cell can convert there by avoiding the pressurization and leaking of the reactor.

I would be interest in obtaining such a component so I could compare the out put ratios of this reactor with conventional electrolysis. I have come to the conclusion that if someone uses experiments to prove exactly how much more efficient then regular electrolysis this apuratus is, perhaps this technology can more rapidly be developed in the open source energy communities. I was hoping to hear others thoughts on ways we can further prove this technology as to intrigue new researchers in to joining the project.

Thanks again Resin,
