Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Well done RR.

You've mentioned how much current is required for the regenerating electrode (~ 5mA), but I am curious how much current is circulating through the Hydrogen generating Zinc electrode?  I did read the entire thread, but can't remember if you measured and posted this also.

All you need now is a low power circuit to perform the electrode switching for you. Knowing the current requirements of both Zinc electrodes in operation would be helpful.

Cheers,

Hi Darren,
I just measured it. 0.275Volts @59.8mA flowing during the hydrogen generation between the tungsten/carbide electrodes and the zinc electrode.

The surface of the electrodes are very cold. Drawing energy from the ambient air temperature.

G'day Dave and all,

Good job with the video. Thanks Dave.

Hey Dave,

So you are still having to manually switch things (every 12 hours)?  Down to two wires.  That is a good thing.  But still it will take power to switch them as you know.  Also the clouding, is that due to sometimes he needs 10 hours and other times it needs 12 on the switch?
Mike! Old Buddy! Good to read from you again. I am still trying to work out the ideal amount of time that is needed to do the switching. When I was doing once/24 hours that is when the "powder" type precipitate started to appear on the inside of the plexiglas. I am now trying once/12 hours. We'll see what happens now. This is all unkown territory for me so all I can do is record what I am doing and what happens.

You have some a long way with the mechanical skills for sure..
Nah, I still suck at this stuff. It takes me 10 times as long as anybody else I know just to do simple things. Just ask my wife, she would be glad to complain about that, lol. I love her more than life itself!!!!!!!!!! That is no joke!!!!!!!!

Best of luck as always.  Funny hearing a youtube video audio track of a voice I know. 

How the heck does Linnard make the little cells that have all that power??  But again his videos are short.
He's using acid reactions, this I am sure of. I have not experimented with them but I would bet they are much, much, more reactive than what I am using. Probably acid-iron type reactions. That would be my guess.


Thanks for posting buddy. Don't stay a stranger. I still need to send you one when the bugs are finally worked out. LOL!!!

Dave.

Thanks for the current measurement.

I believe a switching circuit could be designed, but there might not be much if anything left over to run your fan.

Have you tried maxing out the load on the fuel cell to see what it can supply in terms of current?

The biggest challenge to creating an automatic switching circuit would be generating a several volt/low current supply from such a low starting voltage.
