I haven't thought this all the way through, but I thought I'd put it out here and see if anyone else has thought about it. We have a propane powered...
I am preparing to build a shop with an attached living area this summer in a location that lacks power or phone and the distances are too great to make putting...
Joe: Hydrogen is not easy stuff to work with....... in fact dangerous to work with and hard to contain. It will not compress to liquid at any pressure that is...
Mike, Have a look at the Alternative Technology Association website (www.ata.org.au). They published an article on converting a freezer to a fridge in ReNew...
Yes. You need to stuff the burner with steel wool as hydrogen propagates flame faster than propane and you need smaller orifice for the falme to not run...
I was a hydrogen fuel cell student at TSTC, Waco Tx. Yes it is possible to do what you are talking about, so long as you dont mind wasting money, and time. The...
... I'm just north of you a few miles :) ... I've been looking to see if I can figure out how much current it takes. All I remember from high school chemistry...
You can have hidrogen powered refrigerators using a metal hidrate to react releasing and adsorbing hidrogen. It has some similarities with the refrigerator...
Interestingly the absorption refrigerators (gas refrigerators) ...... at least those I am familiar with..... are filled with hydrogen as well as ammonia..........
2 electrons per molecule H2O breaks the bonds. You then have H2 on one electrode and O on the other. 6.24 10^18 electrons per ampere second. 6.24 10^23...
You'd be much better off using a methane digester. Do a google seach for more details. That can be enhanced with low amounts of hydrogen. ... it out here ......
Better off with almost anything but hydrogen really....... There are lots of options and hydrogen while it looks attractive is the least practical...........
Many have boohooed the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Let me offer some of my novice input to this discussion. It is not necassary to store the hydrogen, enough...
John: Experimenting with hydrogen is fine........ so long as one knows what he's doing........ That it could be made to work goes without question, but to...
... Stone; A lot of what you stated is true. However to produce the power to do electrolysis by PV solar is not difficult or expensive, so efficency jumps way...
John: There are a lot of issues with hydrogen that must be overcome before it is a useful fuel as an alternative. Clearly a material that goes through a...
Dont you mean 70%? Electrolysis has losses but not that much. Kirk Stone Tool <owly@...> wrote: John: There are a lot of issues with hydrogen that must...
Kirk: No I don't mean 70%. If you read articles on the best and newest technology for electrolysis cells you will find that good efficiency for commercially...
10% isnt at all what you will achieve. I am not talking the current wave of specmanship - overall efficiency. I am talking how much gas per kWhr. That the...
Hmm.... I wonder how smart those scientists were who hunkered down in ditches with a pair of goggles to observe nuclear blasts? Or the ones who warned us of...
Kirk: Thanks for an intelligent response....... In a light hearted spirit....... the empty space below is a moment of "virtual silence".... a tribute to your...
The 10% figure is solar energy to combustion heat to load. Except for long term storage you are usually better collecting heat in an insulated tank. However...

Mike you make some good points. I agree we will never have a hydrogen society. Currently we have a fossil fuel society, which is falling apart. I believe we...
