I am looking for methods of producing hydrogen from water. If anyone knows of any good sites please let me know. And also does anyone know of the best material to use for the electrodes that doesn't deteriorate. I have done some experiments with sulphuric acid dial looted with water and water with salt. Of course these combinations with the current is very corrosive. Its early days so any suggestions would be appreciated. And yes I plan to run my car on hydrogen.

Thinks harsh. That is the kind of information I am looking for. I don't think using electrolysis alone or with commonly used chemicals such as salt and sulphuric acid, Is going to produce the amount of hydrogen needed to run a car or generator. I think finding a chemical that isn't as corrosive and can increase the production of hydrogen, as well as be recycle will be a step in the right direction.
Thanks for your reply

You can also find info on this with a search for "fuel cells" on google.com since this is part of the process in a fuel cell.

There are also articles here on our site:

I had a look at Naudins site, pretty amazing stuff. There is one thing I am confused about, what kind of material are the wires made off. If they where made of copper in this gauge and carrying over 80Amps :eek: they would go up in flames in a minute.

Ante ::)

has anyone seen this site while we are on the subject of alternative fuels.
www.geobacter.org

this guy uses microbes to generate electricity

That reminds me my old time in primary school............

I disassembled batteries and take out the graphite, connected two with supply and dipped into a cup of salt water......

I used test tube to fill with hydrogen and oxygen come out from the graphite....

My game is lite a match to make a pop sound.........

But the remains of water is dirty....... :p

im glad you like the j naudin site ante ,and all those intrested in hydrogen production and even free energy, and lifters, enjoy, go forth and make the world a better place. theres lots to lern and do. as for the electrodes, dont know how to get platinnum electrodes but there was some mention about tig or mig welder electrodes, as for the science exsperiment mentioned . i myself tried one years ago, useing a test tube i put lemon jiuce into it and a peace of iron from a transformer and some soldering wire and coper, the reaction made the lemon jiuce eventually buble out of the test tube then i held a match to it and it went pop and the foamy stuff disserpeard then ,

:)re theres different electrodes that could be used , i think that somehow , if you get the right one the best catalyst which ever one that may be to create the best or faster production of hydrogen, would be the way to go , or could the catalyst be something you can add to the water to get the best hydrogen production, who knows what the magical catalyst is if there is one, i tried useing the carbon rods method, but at the voltage i used at the time hydrogen and oxygen production was to slow , so it was a toss up , more current or a magic catalyst to really get those bubles moveing, as they are slow at dislodgeing from the carbon rods . but i did think that maybe sound waves could be used to vibrate those bubles from the carbon rods faster , alyhough the bubles are under water sound travels slow under water but faster through a gas. if ive got it worked out right. :)
