Question:
How can I produce hydrogen using electrolysis at 3 psi? tia sal
I'm trying to find a way to produce hydrogen at around 3 PSI continually
over time using electrolysis. I'm currently using a Hoffman Apparatus,
Epsom salt, and distilled water with palladium electrodes.
Is this possible? If not can someone suggest another route to take other
than buying a 2000 PSI hydrogen tank.
Answer:
The energy density of hydrogen at 3 psi remains approximately three watt
hours per liter.
If your ap demands storage, you definitely should NOT be using
electrolysis. Electrolysis is --> only <-- suitable for on-demand
applications where the final value of the hydrogen ridiculously exceeds
its pathetic energy value.
Because of the staggering loss of exergy, use of electrolysis for bulk
hydrogen energy apps from high value electrical sources flat out ain't
gonna happen. Thermodynamic fundamentals GUARANTEE this. Electrolysis is
pretty much the same as 1:1 exchaning US dollars for Mexican Pesos.
What would you do with this besides piss off your local hazmat team?
The last SEH experimenter to try this created that large hole in the map
where Northern Nevada used to be. Their attempt at the X prize was
rejected because their garage apparently failed to go suborbital. They
also just barely missed a Darwin award.
PLEASE READ THE DOT ORANGE BOOK!!!!
If you are serious about hydrogen research for nonenergy apps, you buy
your hydrogen by the bottle at the hydrogen store.
If you are serious about hydrogen research for energy apps, you first
learn why electrolysis is guaranteed to play no role whatsoever.
