Hydrogen Generator #1 Homemade Hydrogen Generator And Compressor Unit
I’ve made this hydrogen generator and compressor unit to make large hydrogen balloons and to do other experiments.
And I have plans to make it completely solar powered so that I can make clean fuel for all kinds of devises.

    As you have to use DC - have you tried powering using solar? Also, you mentioned heat generation an issue - could you use that heat to generate hot water through a heat exchange? The point being, you could use a full solar system to generate power and hydrogen during the day - with battery storage. Use the excess heat for hot water and the hydrogen gas for heating. And sell the oxygen onwards.

    To keep your compressor running buy a potential relay setup with a star capacitor and every time it turns off it can come on with no problem right after it shuts off instead of waiting for it to equalize hope this helps

    Nice explanations! I had to smile a few times about the heat generated when operating the cell at 12 V. You are right, the problem is the high voltage. But its not due to some mystique strength between the atoms in the water molecules its just the resistence of the water with sodium hydroxide against current. If you push too much current it will heat up - same as every wire does if you push too much current through it can get red or even withe glowing! So the keyword is current density: amps per square inch! You should keep current density as low as possible to stay cool and become more efficient in the process! Even 2 V per cell can already be too much. You can do with 1.8 or even 1.6 V/cell - but you need (much) bigger plates to push the same amount of current! Also a larger cell will have better cooling through air e.g. A good current density is as low as 0.3 A/in2 (0.05 A/cm2) or lower! 2. I hope you dont compress the oxygen via the fridge compressor? The gas flows right through the oil inside the compressor and could explode! You can use other oilfree compressor which are specially made for oxygen - but rather expensive. Also keep in mind that hydrogen is very volatile - it will go through the LPG tank with ease in the long term. So its just a short term "parking". Its best to produce it when you need it.

    @@TheDIYScienceGuy If you're still reading, it's not directly the resistance, it's down to what you discovered in your research, the potential difference required to split the water molecules is about 2V, any more voltage is wasted and turned to heat. The electrolysis cell will do its best to drag the voltage down to 2V /per cell/ until extraneous resistance drops the voltage to this. This voltage droppage just turns to heat rather than that part of the energy going into splitting. Putting multiple plates puts the cells in series, just without the wires. This is why it works efficiently.

    Thank you for your video. I have learned quite a bit by watching your video, and confirmed both ideas I've had and things I've heard. I look forward to your other videos. I have noted in the comments & in the video two things that were may be a concern. 1) Break down of felt and loss of separation of H & O 2) Heat I watched the U shaped collector (referenced below), that allows a physical separation of the H/O collection. No filters needed. The problem with the U is that it is a wet system. I watched the video on the basic construction of the dry cell and liked it a lot. The problem I with the dry cell is that it dispenses an H & O mixture. Like yours does w/out the filters. My thought is use two dry cell plate systems (like in the U shaped collector) and use wire to connect them vs water. Thus being able to collect H from one set and O from the other. This is just a hypothesis on my part. As to the heat, the video on calculating # of amps addresses heat, and perhaps your system is over amped for the # of plates used. Thank you again, keep up the good work & I hope the above is usefull & /or food for thought. + lead - lead _|___ ___|_ | | | | |____| |____| |________| wire connector vs water kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYWD2rmRgtaycpc.html basic construction of dry cell kzread.info/dash/bejne/ha6qlZKahajZqLA.html u shaped collection system kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6iguKydotfIcbA.html how to calculate the # of amps needed for the # of plates used (in a dry cell) kzread.info/dash/bejne/mWdmpK6To9bVftI.html safety & manufacturing information

    I would think that to reduce the heat that is generated, you could add another neutral plate to get the voltage to 2V effectively and then increase the amperage to increase how many bubbles are coming off of there. You have done very very well here though! I live off grid with solar panels and batteries here in Canada and in the long long summer days I really want to save the extra power that gets wasted once my batteries are fully charged. It would be really great to be able to store hydrogen! I am surprised that you are not storing the oxygen too though. Welders pay good money for oxygen for their cutting torches and you can suck it back to feel good too! I guess it would just take quite a bit of work to also make a compressor unit for the oxygen side too.

    Loved your informative video! So, I was wondering how much hydrogen it would take to do some cooking, or to heat a room, and I did a little research. Here's what I found... Heat of combustion is 286kJ/mole 1 li hydrogen under standard temp & pressure = 1/22.4 mole So, 1 litre of hydrogen can provide about 12.77 kJ of thermal energy, which is equal to 3.55 Wh (1kJ = 0.2778 Watthour) SO - to heat your workshop with one kW for one hour, you need to burn about 282 litres of hydrogen at atmospheric pressure! It looks as if the ALL the hydrogen it took you 8 hours to generate would keep you a little bit warm for only two hours! Does anyone disagree with these numbers? After I learned this, I felt disappointed and started to doubt whether we'll ever have a hydrogen economy! Nevertheless, I like how clean hydrogen can be, and I like that solar cells can be silently generating it every day, and maybe wind turbines even in the dark. In the home it could be useful as stored energy backup for when there's no sun, and no wind either. I also like that we don't have to pay tax on it! My main interest in hydrogen is to use it for cooking on a boat. It is less of an explosion risk than propane or butane, because it's light, and escapes up through windows, instead of collecting in the bottom of the boat just waiting for a spark (like butane or propane does). Maybe things will get even more exciting when we learn to make our own fuel cell, and get some electricity back at night for lighting, running motors, etc! :)

    Thanks for the calculations! Yes it's not very efficient but indeed when you use solar and wind it could be useful. And it's always better than doing nothing. Burning fossil fuels is also very inefficient and we keep doing that because it's very efficient money wise. Thanks again! 👍

    where did you get "So, 1 litre of hydrogen can provide about 12.77 kJ of thermal energy" Link please. If true your calculation on hydrogen required is way off the mark. Its not 282 liter but it takes Just 44 Liters to produce 2 KW to heat room for 2 hours. With 282 Liters , you get 12 KW to heat room for 12 hours . But well insulated room can be kept warm for more than 24 hours with the same heating power.

    Here is another idea I used for a power source. I Use mains line voltage with a capacitor inline to limit power flowing Into a full bridge recitifyer. The inline capacitor adds capacitive reactance that impeds the current in to the rest of the circuit. After rectification in the full bridge recitifyer, the power is smoothed with a capacitor inductor filter connected to the HHO generator. With out smoothing, rectified DC is pulced and an HHO generator is doing most of its production just part time and mostly inefficently when the voltages peek 100 or 120 times a second. Smoothing out the power so that it runs all the time lowers the voltage across the cell to its RMS and more efficent voltage. Additionally, this circuit has a built in protection feature. Normally during electrolysis, the electrolyte heats up becoming more conductive conducting more current and making more heat in a thermal runaway that can cause damage or too much current draw. But in the circuit i described, as it heats up, its conductivity drops and the voltage drop across the HHO generator drops. That causes less current to flow and the HHO generated is generated a little slower but more efficently. Making less heat. There is one down side to the circuit i described. It it has a low power factor which can limit how much real power can be delivered on a 15 or 20 amp circuit, But that shouldn't be a problem for most home DIY.

    Theoretically you only need 1.23 Volts to split water into hydrogen and oxygen (usually a bit more). The amount of H2 is only dependent on the amount of electrons flowing through the solution, not the voltage. Everything above a few volts will get converted into heat. The energy you put in to the H2 is about 1.23V*I*t. The energy you spend is U*I*t, where U is the applied voltage.

However, as someone who is into this topic since I was 14 years old, and built my first big 2lpm drycell with 16 and am now at university studying chemistry, I am quite impressed by your work. People who are into this topic and actually know what they are doing are very rare. Love your ideas and also as far as I am able to see everything you told is actually correct. Great idea with the kitchen towel, never thought about that easy method of seperation. Is there still enough space between the towel and the plates for the gases to escape? I think I need to try this with one of my cells too. Really great channel you have, I am gonna drop a sub. If you are interested in my drycell setup, you can watch it over at my channel if you want.

    You can run 10kV through a thin wire or water or something similar and it wouldn't get hot, unless there is enough current. I like to explain it with flowing water. If you got a little lake high up in the mountains with a small outlet where the water rushes down into the valley with nothing that can stop it. It's like high voltage which can jump gaps of a few centimetres (or inches). Voltage just shows you how much resistance you can cross. And then there are long and slow river that are more easy to stop but are grinding way more through the riverbed. This is like current that if it's high enough turns the resistance into heat (like friction gets turned into heat). That's also why welders step up the current and not the voltage. I hope this explanation helped a little bit. LG Pierrick PS: I have done my research and would recommend using 12V and to stay und 25 amps (or you could start to heat the water). If you got a larger container you might have to step up the voltage a little bit.

    Grate work and good video.. Electrolization sweetspot of water and sodium hydroxide is ~2V per cell. Current used is proportional to Volume generated. Production can be increased in 4 ways and/or the combination of these: 1. More Current 2. More Surface area per cell 3. Increas or Decrease gap between plates 4: Higher saturation of Alkaline solution keep in mind increas one point will not work unless a nother prerequisit is met, for example if you increase plate surface area you will need to increase current etc. CAUTION: 1. Always use flash arestors in gas lines perticulalry ones conected to larger volumes of Gas 2. Never conect power close to electrolizer cell, sparks can cause ignition. use a remote circuit braker. 3. LAST > A bit of Oxygen in Hydrogen is not as dangerous as a bit of Hydrogen in Oxygen.
