Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

[ResinRat2]

Can you please let us know the exact setup details of your reactor
and the electrolyte and electrode configurations
and the exact type of fuelcell you are using ?

The electrolyte solution I am using is modified from the original one Dr. Griffin used. I was trying to get the OH^- concentration up and doubling the amount of NaOH just made the solution far to viscous. So by varying the salt the amount of hydroxyl ions could be doubled in the electrolyte.

Take 40 ml of Distilled or deionized water. Dissolve 20 grams of Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) completely, then slowly dissolve 20 grams of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). To this add 20ml of 20 ppm Colloidal Silver and 10ml of 20 ppm Colloidal Magnesium. Once everything is dissolved, add more distilled or deionized water to this mixture until the total volume is 100ml. It will be a bit viscous, but the extra OH^- ions help the zinc to regenerate more easily, and they keep the pH of the solution at a higher level longer, thus encouraging production of the hydrogen as well.

The cathode in my reactor consists of twelve 1/4" X 5" Tungsten/carbide (low-cobalt) rods that I purchased from innovativecarbide.com. You can't cut these (one of the hardest substances on earth) so order them the length you need.  The anode consists of four 5/8" X 6" zinc anode rods that I purchased from boatzincs.com. I purchased the 12" rods and cut them in half.

The anode and cathode are connected by ordinary copper wire that I added alligator clips to.

My reactor design is just two chambers with the holed wall between them. See the pictures just a couple of pages back. I really want to make changes. I think a verticle position for the rods is better because I see gas trapped in the crevices between the horizontal rods. Also, I need to get a bit more space between my anodes. I want to use one pair for regeneration while the other pair is used to produce hydrogen.

Here is a link to the fuel cell I am using:

I will be in Michigan all day tommorrow so I will be unavailable then. I really need to fix my leaks so I will probably be opening this back up again. (RATS!!!); but it needs to be done if I want any long term testing. I am just glad it got going, just so I could get mine to work similar to Dr. Griffin's posted video.

Thanks for your interest. It's just so cool seeing the fan running. I bet I could hook up a bunch of LED lights to this and get it to shine too. LOL!!!

Very very nice!  Great work!  This system has a COP of infinity since you aren't putting any work in.  I'm very impressed with the amount of dedication and hard work you put in!  Good job!

How long will it run?  Do the elctrodes deplete?

Have a great day!

Dr. Griffin said he had some that ran for months. He didn't say whether he regenerated anything; but based off my previous experiments, the anode should regenerate. I am going to develop the regeneration system I need based off this reactor and some experimentation.

I would eventually love to see this unit hooked up to a 6 or 12 volt battery and use it to run one of those electric scooters. Imagine a scooter that can run and recharge itself forever. Just imagine  !

As far as I can see right now, as long as it has water it should run.

We shall see.

w00t indeed!!! Thats a very nice prototype you have there!
I didn't know you could use Dichloromethane to fix acrylic leaks...

Methylene Chloride was recommended to me by a colleague at work who uses it to build plexiglass fish tanks. It still didn't fix my leaks around the electrode.
