STEAM ELECTROLIZER

[bigj8550]

Has anyone used steam and iron to produce hydrogen?? Like in this patient?

I wonder why would you need the iron filings described in the patient? From reading this doc it seems to me that they are there just to store heat. Why not channel the steam into a small h2 generator ,and let the heat do most of the work of breaking down the molecular adhesion. Then use the generator as "the straw that broke the camels back" so to say. Any thoughts?

very intresting article. I am building a different type of electrolizer right now. Depending how it works I just might try to build a Exhaust heat/Steam electrolizer later.

bigj8550: great! you tried! good!

you took a good idea and tried it. this is what science is all about!

now if you are getting more O2....then where did the H go? what did it combine with? is there more HydroCarbons coming out of the converter? did the H catalize with any C to make hydrocarbons? if so, then was it re-catalized to make H20 and C02 with some CO?

sometimes a collage will let you try this out. the local federal test station here...the folks there are especially curious. and they will unofficially allow testing of unique ideas to reduce pollution. first thing first. don't be nasty. they actually save you money by having an I/M program. if your car passes squeaky clean, then it is running at the optimal. if your mileage stinks, and no check engine light on, then chances are that something is wrong, and they can find it. when found and fixed, your mileage will go up, resulting in savings for you. go and ask one of them. talk to them, exlain what you are doing, and try to get feedback, most of it will probably be why it will not work, and some of it may be a way to make it work, or another route to try.

if you never ask, then you never know.

congrats on trying. that is a step beyond what a lot of people do. this site doesn't allow video on the projects page or i would post video here.

anyway, i'll be "off the map" for a few weeks here and i won't even be near a computer. i won't even be in Alaska. when i return, you will know.

Thanks alaskastar for the complement. I am up to try almost anything once. Especially if I have the stuff to do it lying around. I live in a very emissions lax state. No emissions testing and the local schools have done away with their gas analyzers for wide bands like I have access to. And as for where did the H2 go. My theory and this is just a theory I have no hard data to prove it. I believe that it did mix back with some other hydrocarbons and somehow went back to a liquid state. I did notice more liquid from the exhaust than normal. But since I was feeding water into the exhaust it made since that more water should come out.
