Make Hydrogen

by admin on July 11, 2010


This is a boring clip of the Hydrogen fuel cell I made. I intend on using a bank of 12 in an array to run my car. The hydrogen will be fed into the air intake of the car and will mix with the air to run the car either more efficiently or with no fossil fuel at all. Yet to be seen. Sorry about the long pauses on the fuel cell but I was comentating the vid and later muted my boring babble. Tunes were better :)

you can separate hydrogen from water by solar,windpower,hydropower for free

i hate the italian lanaguage

Good video but i can’t even imagine what it is going to happen if your 12v battery gives a spark inside that bottle.
So this is Dangerous …
Now that we know the way we should find a safer way now to produce hydrogen …

5 stars from me because the risks …

hello guys,dont u think it dangerous?
How to store the hydrogen like that.

The process is called electrolycis. The electricity breaks up the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. This is why water is called H2O-you get two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom. The bubbles you see are hydrogen and oxygen gas.

use a small amount of draino in tap water and u need amps – industrial machines use 4000 amps and KOH instead of NaOH – draino – use aluminium and copper for anode and cathose the hyrogen comes off the aluminium – I got a permanent peanut sized flame off a 12V 100amp battery, but I used a splitter to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen – the splitter was a plastic bottle with slits cut in it from a utility knife – the copper and the aluminium where touching the plastic on each side.

@TheNuclearWatermelon: Breaking chemical bonds consumes energy, not releases. Learn some basic chemistry.

ur a dumbass, the oxygen gives it extra power than just burning hydrogen

2karriizman February 27, 2010 at 5:45 pm

hydrogen is attracted to + cathode, oxygen to – anode.this system is produceing a soup of hydrogen and oxygen watts the point when you only need the hydrogen???efficiency has nothing to do with hydrogen production when using free sunshine to produce the electricty for electrolysis of water.fuel cells are a joke hydrogen works fine in an internal combustion engine.

I loved what you said in 6:47, LOOOOOL.

@luisdanielmesa
it does work both ways, but the efficiency is really ridiculous to do this…
25% probably…
50% is the output you gain using cells as battery
said 50% the actual amount of efficient input, that is stored, not becoming heat, or other forms of energy…
that makes a 25% efficiency
and that ends up pretty worse than a normal lead acid battery

@TheNuclearWatermelon
i am…
you sure are enthusiastic, but you failed partly this time
a simple battery can do the job, and more efficiently
breaking hydrogen oxygen bond gives energy?
so why do you use electricity to gain hydrogen?
booh, the bond is extremely strong one, i know im chemistry student
or did you mean breaking molecular bonds of O2 and H2? then why does it make molecules? to release the extra energy!
most things in nature are hard to change, the rule of entropy/enthalpy remains

TheNuclearWatermelon February 27, 2010 at 7:59 pm

The hydrogen and oxygen bonds break, which release energy. its more efficient than electricity alone because it eliminates electric resistance, can store electric power AFTER the initial current is turned off, and it doesn’t suffer heat loss as transformers do. whos laughin now!

luisdanielmesa February 27, 2010 at 8:04 pm

If you reverse a device that produces energy then it… yes go on… yes you can do it… CONSUMES energy (TRANSFORMS is the correct word but for you, it makes no difference)

luisdanielmesa February 27, 2010 at 8:33 pm

LOL you’re a joke =P
hydrogen fuell cells PRODUCE ELECTRICITY… THAT’S THE WAY THEY RELEASE THE ENERGY =D LOL I can’t stop laughing at you… HOW CAN BE ELECTRICITY MORE EFFICIENT THAN… ELECTRICITY??? HAHA

keneyed209 February 27, 2010 at 9:11 pm

not bad like the end comment

keneyed209 February 27, 2010 at 9:31 pm

a few people talk about killing the alternator but I have a 98 honda with a 50 dollar alternator with a life time guaranty witch most from a parts store have for sell

TheNuclearWatermelon February 27, 2010 at 9:42 pm

still you… hydrogen fuell cells dont burn hydrogen. they combine the hydrogen and oxygen atoms to release energy at a higher efficiency than electricity alone. dont bother to reply back cause i dont want to waste my time arguing with some youtube low-life.

luisdanielmesa February 27, 2010 at 10:14 pm

yup… you spend electricity, which is a form of energy which can be used with 95% efficiency to produce hydrogen and burn it with less than 50% efficiency… nice one… who’s the idiot?

aihlo February 27, 2010 at 10:39 pm

@Ridge3210 learn to process water! right?

TheNuclearWatermelon February 27, 2010 at 11:29 pm

you idiot fuel cells are reversable

luisdanielmesa February 28, 2010 at 12:23 am

so you made a “fuel cell” that ???MAKES??? hydrogen? I thought fuel cells workd with hydrogen and oxygen to produce water and electricity… this video is ridiculous…

freakin1random February 28, 2010 at 1:02 am

if you ran this with your air intake, your fuel wont light. you’ll need to put extra oxygen in it as well.

revolxaohemwolb February 28, 2010 at 1:54 am

“HHO” is a HHOax. These silly things take more energy from the crankshaft than they return. They will REDUCE fuel economy, but will NEVER increase it! Not unless you can find a 100% efficient alternator belt, 100% efficient alternator, 100% efficient electrolyser and a 100% efficient internal combustion engine, “HHO” systems won’t do so much as break even. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics says ‘no free lunch!’

Ridge3210 February 28, 2010 at 2:09 am

yea, now we will be at the complete mercy of water processing plants.
