Hydrogen On-Demand Is Going To Be What Catapults Hydrogen From Being A Great Concept To A Great Reality

posted in Future Fuels |

Hydrogen on demand is a nice concept only if we can supply the energy to make it happen in the first place and make it cost effective. The only by-product of hydrogen on demand is water.Hydrogen-On-Demand is a home made system that can be assembled by simple and cheap products found in any hardware store. This Hydrogen on demand device produces hydrogen from tap water. This is the type of system one would need to make any car run on hydrogen and still have the factory performance, and do the work it could do on gasoline. The technology is a hydrogen-from-water generating process that helps solve many of the hydrogen creation and storage problems faced today and in the fast approaching “hydrogen economy”.Stanley Meyers patented method of producing hydrogen on demand is the means of running the engine on hydrogen using water. The Hydrogen on Demand system releases the hydrogen stored in the chemical bonds of sodium borohydride solutions by passing the liquid through a chamber containing a proprietary catalyst. Many inventors claim to have produced electrolysis units to use the charge created by a cars alternator to split a tank of water into hydrogen and oxygen whilst the car is being driven. These are systems or devices such as water for gas that offer the safest and most economical solution.The system produces Hydrogen when we need it, rather than producing it in an expensive and polluting factory, then delivering it in huge trucks and storing it unsafely in high-pressure gas tanks. Due to the hydrogen being delivered via water vapor, engine heat is reduced, even as the hydrogen creates more power via increased yield of the fuel. While the engine runs cooler, it’s also vibrating less, and smoothing out, as the hydrogen being added tends to round out the combustion.All of this equates, obviously, to longer life of parts on the automobile, and therefore, converting to a hydrogen/fuel mixture for running the engine is indeed an ounce of prevention worth the weight of the car. What happens when you draw hydrogen gas from water is that water actually converts, one of it’s oxygen molecules into a hydrogen molecule. Having hydrogen and air mix together is actually better for the combustion in the engine anyway.Hydrogen on-demand is going to be what catapults hydrogen from being a great concept to a great reality. With the ever increasing prices of gas and diesel fuel, this has got to be the way forward to help the environment and make cars more economical.
