Comments to “DIY Solar Hydro generator.”

1. Cindi Says:
   since it takes such a low amount of power why not use the solar cell to trickle charge a battery that then runs the generator? You could regulate the power easier and the solar panel would be able to work much more efficiently. It's a cool project I'm just having a hard time understanding how you actually put the stored hydrogen to use.
2. Taydem Says:
   I think maybe it is because you can make Hydrogen yourself, from a solar panel (no turbine in the whole process as far as I see it), and right now it is pretty hard for an individual to build an oil rig and start pumping up oil. All you need for hydrogen is tap water and a solar panel.
3. Katrina Says:
   I don't get it, why does everyone think that hydrogen is the "future"? It is such an ineffiecient way to go, energy wise. Why make electricity from a turbine at 80 percent efficiency, then electrolyse water at maybe 20 percent efficiency to make hydrogen?why not just use the electricity as is. Hydrogen cars for example is just another way big multinational companies can create an infrastructure to charge you per litre, that's the only reason they want it to be the future.
4. Nann Says:
   Are you making enough hydrogen to do anything practical. like cook, heat a room in your house, or run a car? Just my intuitive opinion, but I think you'd gain a lot of efficiency by using the electricity directly, for lighting and running computers, etc.
5. Weldon Says:
   Hey, You have done what I have been thinking sort of. I am about to use 10 solar cells from calculators. Remember hydrogen is a light gas and the collection should be higher than the generation point. I want to collect hydrogen in a propane tank and run an electric generator and my car on hydrogen.
6. DOANE Says:
   well the watts don't add up Watts=Volts X Amps
7. Bhric Says:
   Good point Soldier, BUT what frequency, pulse and amplitute, is it one or a combination of these. To get that in PRACTICAL terms is a lifetimes work. Easy H is not possible unless thermolysis is used and then there are always problems with storage - very expensive.
8. HAMILTON Says:
   I dont think more power is the rite way to go. Youl just start boiling the water. The secret to hydrogen is to use very little power and produce abundant hydrogen. Sending power in on the rite frequency is the way to go. When you find the rite electrical frequency at a low power output dc you will see that the water stays cold and you produce big amounts of hydrogen vise versa boiling the water and making small hydro.
9. LORRAINE Says:
   A Hydrogen stove will melt the stove, this set up, in principle, could power a micro welding set.
10. Asad Says:
    A week long blackout! Google 'sunshine to dollars' by Steve Harris, for $10 it will show you how to make solar heaters/ coolers/ water purifiers from scrap material. Hydrogen is bad for the DIYer, more power is available if I use the same panel to fill a car battery.
11. Doreen Says:
    So what I'm seeing is production of hydrogen for the purposes of storing, and then consuming as a heating fuel? How much electricity could one produce with low cost, home made solar kits? And what of storage of said electric? I just went through a week long blackout, very interested!
12. LORRAINE Says:
    WOuld be interesting to see if you could run a camp stove off the hydrogen.
13. Ioseph Says:
    Oi!! Energyadvertiser! Cheeky Git! it's good that more and more people are learing about going carbon free.
14. Gwendolyn Says:
    Don't let the cops see this in your flat, they might think it's a meth lab or something.
15. Dana Says:
    Hey, check out my channel for very affordable deals on solar panels and related products!
16. SALIH Says:
    PLease, in this video You say 25 volts? Thats the problem. Too high. Get it down. If You add too much voltage, lot more than what the reaction needs, the rest will be converted to heat. So, lower the voltage to under 9 volt, and it won't be heating up. Got it?
17. Almundena Says:
    hmmm electrolysis generally produces heat, as does any energy transformation. I suppose the problem here is how much energy is required to cool the solution to get H which could be better stored in the battery, but perhaps there is a neat way around it by combining various methodologies....you got me thinking....I Like people who do that!!!!
18. Giada Says:
    I am considering photo voltaic cells for charging a battery to store power for a hydrogen converter. However, in all my experiments with a colleague, we have come across one problem that just hasn't been discussed. We have found in all cases, that the solution just gets warmer and warmer. My last experiment, I had to disconnect at 84 deg C. I am now constructing a small coil/heat exchanger with a low pressure pump and a temp control to maintain a running temp of between 55C and 65C.
19. MARJANI Says:
    Well done fella, keep up the good work :-)
20. Reeya Says:
    hey there fella - just a thought - but you lose a large percentage of your energy from the solar panels extracting the hydrogen - why not just use it in that house of yours (for example to recharge your camcorder). That would be a more efficient use.
21. Fitzgibbon Says:
    an engine of iner compustion can run with just hydrogen, just you need to do some modifications to your engine, all depends of the kind ok injection youre car has,
22. LATHROP Says:
    Its just that i have seen alot of vids of people running there car on normal gas. the hydrogen generator is run off the electrical system (like a car radio is). as the hydrogen is produced it is feed into the cars air intank so the car supposedly runs off both hydrogen and gas. and this supposedly gives you much lower gas consumption. you will still have to put gas in your car but not as offten. so as i understood it, it dosnt break any laws of physics (i think).
23. Taydem Says:
    This is all lies, it's obviously a water pipe.
24. Jezebel Says:
    1./2. hydrogen is produce at the anode and the oxygen is produced at the cathode. so on one plate you will have bubbles of hydrogen forming and the other plate will have bubbles of o2 forming 3. no you cant increase the guel efficiency that that way, the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but only transferred meaning you cant make more energy from your petrol engine you can however have hydrogen cars like the Japanese public transport system does :)
25. Garrey Says:
    BRILLIANT. can I ask a question? So the hydrogen gets extracted from the H2O but does that mean that oxygen is produced too? what happens to the other molecules when the hydrogen is extracted? and do you think that this system could be used in cars as kinda of a hybird system. where the gas engine is used normaly and used to produce hydrogen and being feed back into the engine to increase fuel efficiency? LOL make that 3 questions.
