Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

G'day Dave and all,

I can understand why you want to build the thing in glass, you want to be able to visually follow what is happening there.

If you are willing to forsake that advantage, why not build it in metal?

1 mm brass sheet for the box and separators, soldered together and then lacquered inside with a good epoxy resin. You would get a much better heat transfer, especially if you soldered some fins on the outside and electrically the epoxy would keep it insulated. Only question is, does epoxy interfere with your catalyst solution, though I guess not, since the acrylic sheeting you used worked OK.

You could always put an inspection window in it.

Give me the dimensions you want to use and the layout and I design it for you for your evaluation.

Just an idea at this stage, but I do want to help and contribute where I can. You are not alone Dave.

That would be a great idea, especially if the cell is affected by light!

The reactor needs to be made of a non-conductive material. The metal would interfere with the electrodes in contact with the inside surface of the reactor.

G'day Dave,

It will be non conductive if it is lacquered inside with epoxy.

You can lacquer it outside as well if you wish.

Hi Hans,

I like the idea, the heat transfer would be excellent, but right now I'd like to visually see what's going on from all angles. This thing is no where near the point where I think I know the details on how to keep it going long term. I like to record all the physical changes I see and I don't want any blind spots yet. Also, I want other people to see what's going on as well.

Thanks. Good idea.
