Hydrogen will set u free

[yubba]

I found something that might spark some interest, it was an idea that I was toying with in my head but somebody actually got it too work just as i thought . What if I told you that you could make hydrogen at home , what if it was as simple as pouring water into a jar ,what if you could build a HHO generator at home with things you found in your kitchen , what if you could run your car with this ,what would you do ?

yubba kool find.

Pretty wild stuff I m going too try to build one today let you know how it turns out.

If I got to build my own home I would use my own electric generator as much from renewable energy sources such as wind and the sun(with solar panel) and store them in battery cells, recycle my own water and store rain water and probably process it too . . . .

Ummm . . . . . .

nah not because I'm green but because the utility companies sucks your money dry here and give a bad service(power outages, etc) LoL.

The actual design of the building can help too. Look for passive house designs, which can be very energy efficient if built right.

I remeber doing electrolist back in high school chemistry when we had the oil embrago . This would have been the answer to a lot of energy problems here in the U S . I think this is just about criminal that it has not been used , in light of the oil disaster in the gulf i think some heads should roll. So why do we have to go to the moon to find water to make fuel when we got water here. I live down the street from the space center where freinds of mine are looseing their jobs I think it would be fitting for them to show the world that making hydrogen is as easy as pouring water out of a tap , and that we will never have to loose american lives over oil.

So thats where the spatulas went

Be very careful when connecting things to a car battery the stored energy in a car battery can be astounding. A mis step can lead to a fire or worse an explosion.

Any energy source that requires energy to create it is bit counter productive.

Finally your dealing with an explosive gas and electrical sources of ignition. Theres a reason they dont use hydrogen for lighter than aircraft these days.

ain t it great, this is so cool it s freaky,and no big oilly mess too clean up.

...making a homemade electrolisys set up?

[yubba]

got my nylon nuts and bolts debatein over stainless plate or pipe I see they can produce 1 liter of hydrogen a minute maybe more with 12 volt car battery knowledge is power

Running a car on water again?

You guys are not believing this right?

Thermodynamics says no!

You will use more energy than you gain making H from H20.

Hydrogen will set u on fire



Cool link though

I see ya one Hindenburg to 1 gulf spill , what if the Hindenburg accident never happened ? It seems to be safe 4 space travel.

[Oberon]

Touché. I'm not exactly fond of non-renewable sources of energy myself, however, as TLAM Strike said, for any source of energy to be efficient you've got to get more out than you put in.
Still, one day perhaps, there's plenty of minds working on it...

[yubba]

that depends on how you look at it. how much enegy is spent on oil from the ground to the pump if that was the case we d still be burning coal , and we would be dead.
