Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Sorry Yikes,

I never used it and I don't know anything about it.

If you find out something relevant then please let me know.

Thanks for your interest.

Sorry ResinR,

I realized it was a stupid question and changed the text, but you beat me to the post.

Well I got the reactor going, but the hydrogen output is very disappointing. Here is the big gallon and a half reactor and when I hook the fuel cell to it I get a dinky 0.330 volts output. Not even enough to run my small demonstration fan. Oh well. I can't get a good reading for the amps so my guess is its very piddly. I really can't even get a good idea of gas output. It looks like it is producing a steady stream of hydrogen gas, but I just don't get any good rate.

The only way I can boost this thing's output right now is to probably purchase about $300 worth of tungsten rods. I am not sure I want to do that at this point. I really don't understand what my problem is. Dr. Griffin has all these small reactors running all kinds of gadgets. Maybe I need to concentrate on building a small enclosed unit with very little headspace. That way a small amount of gas makes a big difference in volume vs pressure.

I only built the large reactor because I wanted to experiment with the four-electrode design and at the time the only way I knew how do that was with 3 inch clear PVC. Now since then I've learned that clear acrylic is probably the better way to go. Oh boy, more expense. I've spent big bucks on this project so far and I am wondering if I want to invest more at this point. Don't mind my ranting (lol) I'm used to complaining at my failures.

Back to the drawing board. I ordered a few sheets of the clear acrylic so I will concentrate on that as the next stage of this project. All of Dr. Griffin's reactors look small so I will build several small ones, load them up with all the tungsten(2% thoriated) I can and see if the smaller headspace can give me a better rate output. I will see also if I can order tungsten/carbide rods over the internet. They will probably work better.

Sorry for the bad news, but research has a tendency to bring out multiple failures. I just hope everyone can learn from my experiments and steer clear from my failures. This failure was caused, I believe, by using too large of a reactor, which gives too large of a headspace. Small is the way to go. I like small. Should be interesting.

Thanks everyone for your interest.

Yes ,go with the smaller container and pack it , big difference in output.I have been dealing with this guy for rods , he has super prices and fast shipping.

If you have a problem getting the rods ,let me know I have a few hundred I can part with a bunch.

Buy your Acrylic on ebay to, you can get scrap for cheap cheap

Thanks, I need to laugh right now. What the heck is the matter with me lately. OF COURSE smaller would be better. Less gas volume makes a larger difference in pressure. Scheesh!!! Duh!!

Ok everybody, we all know now that ResinRat does NOT have a high IQ.

I can, however, learn from my failures.

Well at least we can all get a good laugh out of this.

Thanks everyone for your interest.
