here is a simplified version of a quad-redundant, microprocessor-controlled reaction based on alaskastar's chemical decomposition of galvanized iron in a bath of H2SO4. i have labeled all important parts of the system, so i can explain it, patent-style, if anyone cannot understand how the process can and could be controlled. i know hydrogen world was looking to see this, however its posted here for all to see...
one last thing to note, the only thing that cannot run by way of simple relay/switch/valve/sensor is the length of time the H2SO4 pump can be run/valve stays open, and the same for the NH3 tank valve/pump. if the system is gravity fed, then just a valve could be utilized, however- a pump would be far more accurate as the amount of catalyst in the tank would determine the pressure forcing the fluid through the hoses and obviously, flow rates would change considerably as the tank neared empty.
