Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

[Dingus Mungus]

Thank you for the offer Mramos but I will have to do a couple of time trials before I hook up any electronics. I'm hoping to experimentally determine the best way to maintain such a cell. Many thanks for your active role in helping us close the loop on this project! I'm hoping that I will be ready to add the circuit in the next month. I just got the last of my components today from the post office. I'll be running a cell tonight but with a galvanized bolt since my pure zinc anodes are still on back order... 

I will post any results I find.

Thanks again to both of you!!!
Its good people like you two that make this forum work.

Hi mramos,

I truly appreciate your help. It's great that you were willing to take on this project with knowledge that I just don't have, and you completed it so quickly.

I will post all my results as I get them, this way everyone can learn from them and use them to their advantage. No sense repeating each others work if it isn't necessary.(Though repeating each others work may be a good idea too.)

My angle will be developing the dual-cell configuration because I want the zinc regenerating constantly; and this way there will be a constant flow of both Hydrogen and Oxygen gases. If I can show it is a system that can be maintained long-term without having to add anything (except water) then that in itself will be an advantage. I speculate that once a fuel cell is added it could possibly power itself, produce excess hydrogen if desired, and be far more efficient than old-style electrolysis; all without any exotherm! From my previous experiments I think it will take very little power to operate this system. We shall see.

Dingus's idea of a sealed unit is even more appealing. There are so many ways we could go with this. I am looking forward to finding out how this can be done. This should be FUN!!!

@Mramos

Galvanized just means zinc and heat treated exterior so it will work as a quick anode for a little while... That is until the zinc layer is removed to reveal a layer of steel that forms the core of the bolt. (then the cell is junk to me) I will be building my first open face cell tonight though! Can't stand arround waiting for the right gear anymore, and the propper anodes will be here soon. Time to dive in!

@ Resin

YES!
THIS WILL BE MUCH FUN!

BTW I'm quite excited to see how you and Mramos's combined efforts turn out. I would suggest using a similar battery to electrolylize tap water so you can compare the consumed water volumes in ratio. Good luck and I hope to hear back more from both of you soon.

This is undoubtably the best project on OU and no one knows it yet. I almost want to keep it that way till we have something solid to show people though. Some of the other threads have gone to the dogs and I'm hoping our quiet research corner will go undisturbed a bit longer.

Thanks again to both of you,

Sounds like you had a hell of a night...
Sorry to hear you let all the magic smoke out of your USB programmer.


but on a lighter note:

I am so tired I am not even going to rattle the SM coil guys tonight..

   
Laughed my ass off when I read that.

@mramos,

Hey Mike, you sound like one determined guy! Whew! Too bad about the smoke.

If things went too smoothly this life would get boring real quick.(lol)
