Nice job very clean great production

Any thought on using alternatives to nafion and platinum? You might try gallium/aluminum and water as your hydrogen source!

would this work better with palladium as a catalyst?

Did you use naflon pem polymer membrane?

If you were to pump air / oxygen through the oxygen side, would it make more power?

I really liked this video, thank you for sharing it! I've been trying to learn as much as I can about this field for energy self-sufficiency. Wasn't the cell supposed to produce water vapor/droplets and maybe a bit of heat loss as a byproduct? Maybe it was such an inconsequential amount in the short time that the water vapor was too small and evaporated immediately? I might try to repeat your work and include the read out of an infrared thermometer. Thank you again!

Thank you. The byproduct is water and heat, yes. But here on this small cell you will not note a big heat difference. But you can see some small water drops in the cell over 5 hours of run time. Look at the next video,.... where I run the cell with 1 gram of aluminium for more that 5 hours.

What is the pressure of the hydrogen produced? Can it reach 0.2bar?

Nice experiment

Nice one man!!! Would love to know how much energy you can get from 1Gram of Aluminium. Perhaps you can measure it on software?

I will let you know

btw, using anything else than carbon as anode (positive) will make recharging not work, because the metal coating will be plated off, and cathode (negative) needs not to be carbon but metal to make metal plating and not metal hydroxide

Tytyty super intelligent when u add a capacitor between fuel cell an motor to provide “start up current “ for motor to start itself 👍👍

fuel cells are so cool

Good job Sir. So if theoretically we put 50 of this cells in series we should have 45V at 1Amp? Or if we do 50 in parallel 0.9V at 50Amp? Or the cells will be destroyed by the power produced? Thank you

either is fine. In both setups, each cell still has 1 amp flowing through it and .9v across it. You need to size the pair of output wires correctly, depending on which amperage/voltage you choose and distance to load.

intéressant! tu crois que tu pourrais l'essayer en photocatalyse avec de l'eau et du graphic carbon nitride pour la source hydrogène? ça semble faisable sans trop de modifications avec ta cellule.... super boulot!

In the past I try it with grphitic carbon nitride coated carbon felt. But the the hydrogen production was really slow.

The Hidrogen should be washed and you should have more than one reaction chamber. Schreding the aluminium foil or have it as a dust would improve.

Not really,... because aluminium foil or powder (small particles Al) will contribute to faster reaction and faster release of hydrogen. The fuel cell will get the hydrogen how much it needs, but if the hydrohen production is to fast, then most of the H2 will go to the environment. For example: 1 gram of 1mm thich aluminium produce enough H2 that the fuel cell can run for 5 hours. Otherwise a aluminium powder will create a H2 for about 30min.

did you try electrochemical flow capacitor with this module?

To increase reaction , Use Gallium , Dissolve Alluminum in Gallium and then Potassium hydroxide . this will increase the reaction rate ...

@cayrex

6 ай бұрын

No needed for increased reaction. Because I want to have enough stable hydrogen at slower production rate. That way I can get the hydrogen from water and aluminium for many hours. Increased reaction will produce hydrogen at max for 15 min. In that case, many of the hydrogen will not react in the fuel cell.

15kW and 100A = 150V In that case you will need around 190 cells if you will not use some inverter.
