Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Hi Everyone,

I have been getting messages on how the scale-up reactor is coming. I know I indicated that the reactor would be made of glass, but after doing some research I've come to the conclusion that drilling a hole in glass is a very difficult and tricky thing to do; therefore I am going to make the reactor with a combination of glass/Plexiglas. The reason for this is that I need to drill six holes in the reactor, and Plexiglas is much easier to work with.

The shape of the reactor will be a large rectangle, approximately 20 inches or so wide and approximately 18 inches high. It will only be about three to four inches wide, as I am going to line the t/c electrodes in a straight line and spot weld each one to the next. This accommodates my 5 inch long tungsten carbide electrodes, with headspace to add platinum mesh on the top of the reactor if I desire. There will be gas ports on the top of the reactor that I can use to go to a different container with platinum mesh, or to fuel cells for electricity production if I wish, or I can close them off and try experimenting with the platinum mesh directly inside the chamber and sealed.

So my vision is a rectangular box with the top, bottom. and sides made of Plexiglas with the holes in it, and the sides will be two 20" x 18" glass plates. These will allow the heat transfer to take place with the environment easily. I will also need to design a stand for the unit to rest in because of its odd shape and center of gravity. This unit will be very heavy, 9-10 lbs per gallon of liquid, plus the electrodes. I think wherever I build it, it will be staying there once I fill it. Very heavy.

It took a bit of research to get to this point. I calculated around 5 gallons or so of volume (approx) based off the space of the separating Plexiglas between the chambers.

I will post a drawing in the near future, once I get it out of my head and onto paper.

Thanks everyone for your interest.

Based on a conversion done by someone called 'Gav' on youtube, his dc motor sucked out 20kw when he floored it, and he got some pretty decent acceleration too!  1 cubic meter should be able to fit in a car somewhere

Don't forget that 1 m3 of water weighs one ton (1000 kg) and it will be even more with the added salts and colloids and electrodes. You need to generate extra power to shift this additional weight.

oh jeez that's alot of weight.  However, the batteries he uses must weigh more than that!  So I'd say it would be about the same weight either way.  By the way, nice outfit Dave!  Haha real scary.  Is your work that dangerous?

No, He works in a lab on Mars

Hi Brian,

Almost all the chemicals I work with have some toxicity to them, so yes it is a dangerous job, but I love it. When I go to work I feel like I am playing all day in the lab, and that is the truth.
