    PLease, in this …
    PLease, in this video You say 25 volts?
    Thats the problem. Too high. Get it down.
    If You add too much voltage, lot more than what the reaction needs, the rest will be converted to heat. So, lower the voltage to under 9 volt, and it won’t be heating up. Got it?

    hmmm electrolysis …
    hmmm electrolysis generally produces heat, as does any energy transformation. I suppose the problem here is how much energy is required to cool the solution to get H which could be better stored in the battery, but perhaps there is a neat way around it by combining various methodologies….you got me thinking….I Like people who do that!!!!

    I am considering …
    I am considering photo voltaic cells for charging a battery to store power for a hydrogen converter.
    However, in all my experiments with a colleague, we have come across one problem that just hasn’t been discussed.
    We have found in all cases, that the solution just gets warmer and warmer. My last experiment, I had to disconnect at 84 deg C.
    I am now constructing a small coil/heat exchanger with a low pressure pump and a temp control to maintain a running temp of between 55C and 65C.

    hey there fella – …
    hey there fella – just a thought – but you lose a large percentage of your energy from the solar panels extracting the hydrogen – why not just use it in that house of yours (for example to recharge your camcorder). That would be a more efficient use.

    an engine of iner compustion can run with just hydrogen, just you need to do some modifications to your engine, all depends of the kind ok injection youre car has,

    Its just that i have seen alot of vids of people running there car on normal gas. the hydrogen generator is run off the electrical system (like a car radio is). as the hydrogen is produced it is feed into the cars air intank so the car supposedly runs off both hydrogen and gas. and this supposedly gives you much lower gas consumption. you will still have to put gas in your car but not as offten. so as i understood it, it dosnt break any laws of physics (i think).

    1./2. hydrogen is …
    1./2. hydrogen is produce at the anode and the oxygen is produced at the cathode. so on one plate you will have bubbles of hydrogen forming and the other plate will have bubbles of o2 forming

    3. no you cant increase the guel efficiency that that way, the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but only transferred meaning you cant make more energy from your petrol engine

    you can however have hydrogen cars like the Japanese public transport system does :)

    BRILLIANT. can I …
    BRILLIANT. can I ask a question? So the hydrogen gets extracted from the H2O but does that mean that oxygen is produced too? what happens to the other molecules when the hydrogen is extracted? and do you think that this system could be used in cars as kinda of a hybird system. where the gas engine is used normaly and used to produce hydrogen and being feed back into the engine to increase fuel efficiency? LOL make that 3 questions.

    Why thanks DJBro!!! …
    Why thanks DJBro!!!! Jward, storage and ue of H in electrical circuits is the problem, uses much more in transformation costs than it uses. NASA would have the solution, at a cost, but new technology making it cheap must first be developed before this method even approaches commercial viability. :-)

    ok, so yes it is producing hydrogen, great, but now you have to find an effective method of capturing the gas, and secondly finding a good use for it

    On storing H2. …
    On storing H2. I’ve thought some about it because I have a relative with a house site that has a running spring on it. I wondered if PV panels and pico-hydro could capture “free” energy and was trying to think of some way that didn’t rely on heavy, expensive batteries with limited lifespans. All in all, it’s energy cost of electrolysis that discourages me.

    Hey FuckTube,

    1) Why have I “exceeded” my comment limits after ONE comment?
    2) Why does replying to a specific post, ie my effing own, not post below it but at the top of the entire friggin’ list?
    3) Why are both of these such a common occurence?

    useful amounts of energy of it. This guy says that somehow the water couples with it. It sounded like something analogous to resonance or induction. What I liked about the interview is that the guy discounted over-unity and the idea that the water is the “fuel” altogether. He doesn’t claim to have more than a hypothesis of how it MIGHT work. He’s bright enough to realize that just because we don’t know where the apparently excess energy is coming from doesn’t mean that the laws

    Have tried any of that stuff where the plates are pulsed at 4x.x kHz? It is supposed to generate 7-10 times as much hydrogen. I saw it on the net; so you know it MUST be true. ;) (Does it generate enough additional hydrogen to come even close to the energy expended pulsing the electrodes? They say so.) I heard an interview of a guy saying that it seems to couple somehow with the energy in the Universe. That such exists is not disputed. Academic orthodoxy just says that you can’t get

    An electric car …
    An electric car like Tesla or Air-car will take about 22KW to run 30 miles thats about 37KW for 50 miles so at 13w/h for 12 hours a day it would take 7 months of 12hr a day charging.

    To run a car on hydrogen would take 4 times the electricity after all conversion has been taken into account, best stick to Li-on Batteries.

    It can be done, but at great expense!!!! however the cost of solar is dropping all the time and the cost and efficiency of E-cars gets better every other week.
