What is Hydrogen, and how
it's made.
Please keep in mind that we
are not the foremost experts on Hydrogen gas.
We are just sharing our experience with you. Basic Overview:
The kind of Hydrogen that is produced by the kinds of
cells the public is building is not pure Hydrogen. The output is a
Hydrogen and Oxygen mix which is much more explosive than just pure Hydrogen.
Please keep this in mind: Never try to store any of the Hydrogen you
create. Never let your reservoir build up pressure.
Try to keep your reservoir pressure at zero or in a state of vacuum.
Hydrogen gas is produced in the cells that the general
public builds or buys through a process known as Electrolysis.
This is done by passing a DC current through water.
As we all know water, or H2O is 2 parts Hydrogen, and one part Oxygen.
The Oxygen molecule is negatively charged which attracts the Hydrogen molecules
which are positively charged. Remember how opposites attract?
There you have it.
When we apply DC current thorough electrodes the H2O molecule separates.
The Hydrogen molecules attract themselves to the Negative plates while the
Oxygen molecule is attracted to the Positive plates.
So what we have found from the above statement is this. If you wire up
a cell with two positive plate and one negative plate you get what seems to
be a low grade of Hydrogen.
If you wire up your cell with two negative plates and one positive plate the
hydrogen seems to be much more explosive.
Why do we say that?
When we wired up our cells two end plates to be positive, and one center
plate as negative the bubbles rising didn't seem to have as loud of a pop as
those produced when we had the cell wired with the two end plates as
negative and the center plate as positive.
We pushed this a bit further by filling a 1 liter bottle with Hydrogen made
from both wiring configurations and placing it upside down on a small rod
and passing a flame under the bottle opening. (while warring a face shield,
gloves, etc.)
Both types of production were from a bottle full of water turned upside down
in a bucket filled with Hydrogen until the bottle was empty. then capped by
hand and placed on the rod then lit with a lighter.
The one filled with two positive and one negative went WHOOMP making a loud
WHOOMP sound. It crowned the end of the bottle and went up about 75
feet or so.
The one that was filled using two negatives and one positive plate in the
middle went BOOM. It went up about 5 feet because the end of the
bottle along with the sides of the bottle were blown all to pieces.
Based on that test we feel that you make more Hydrogen or a more explosive
form of Hydrogen by using more negative plates than positive.
The energy it takes to produce Hydrogen is best figured
in watts or Kilowatts rather than amperage since the voltage of various
power supplies vary, but the wattage is the same from cell to cell or from
power supply to power supply on the same cell.
What I mean is this. We have tested several cell designs and tested
them on different power supplies. What we found was the same
production no mater what the amperage was.
On our Power supply it varies from 40 volts up to 120 volts. The amperage
varies up and down as well. Therefore the wattage required to achieve
a certain output remains the same. We
made a 2" by 2" cell out of Stainless Steel washer gapped at
.006 of an inch. (six thousands)
The water was pure distilled with nothing added. At 60 watts this
little cell produces 1.5 liter per minute. It produces 1.5 liters
per minute at 6 volts at 10 amps, it produces 1.5 liters per minute
at 12 volts 5 amps, it produces 1.5 liters per minute at 100 volts and .06
amps.
The problem with this cell is the close gap, it produces too
much heat to be a solution for long term operation. none the less
the wattage to achieve the Hydrogen production was the same even though
the voltage and amperage varied. Most
of you visiting here have heard the name Stanley Meyers. (God rest his soul)
Stan was as far as I know the first person to ever build a Hydrogen system
to fully power a cars engine. Some of his work is available on the
Internet but it is vague at best. (This
paragraph is just my personal opinion)
I believe that all the information that is out there including the
pictures and videos shown are just decoys. Things that have been
shared with the public to steer us in the WRONG direction. I base my
opinion on several different things I have seen from the cell design shown
on the videos to the power systems and drawings that are floating around
the Internet.
We spent about a week chasing that design and deemed it to be not worth
the time or trouble, and certainly not worth the money to even attempt the
design.
I do believe that Stan had a system that worked, but I don't believe that
system has anything to do with what is floating around on the Internet
that many people are trying to figure out from the vague information they
are getting their hands on. TLG
Hydrogen LLC has not developed a way to completely run your car on
hydrogen, but we have developed a way to safely produce very large amounts
of hydrogen and along with a way to fully control it based on engine rpm
without any electronic components that could fail and cause harmful
affects with the hydrogen production. There
will be more added to this page later, but for now you have a basic idea. Go
