IBEW Hour Power Feature Story: Solar Hydro Home

[waterwart]

How come it is SO hard to find one of those solar powered hydrogen generators ? Better yet, I would like to find out how to MAKE one!

[RedMarineNex]

@waterwart There was a Canadian company that made electrolysis machines, not cheap though. The problem with water electrolysis is that you need expensive catalysts to separate the gases. Electrolysis is simple enough, put a cathode and anode in water and pass a current through it. That's the easy part. The hard part is separating the Hydrogen and Oxygen ions. Expensive catalysts are used for the job, making the electrolysis machine very expensive.

were do i put the ghost-buster floor trap out back after its full?

[MrEnergyCzar]

Great video... I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas....

[residualwealth]

@MrEnergyCzar That's awesome How much did it cost and who did the work?

[NanetteW]

6:38 key word - ELECTROLYZER.

Good thinking only the price, government revue, and power companies.

[cliveheard]

i missed the generator too

[911truthseekers]

Michael Strizki did the first one!  Sorry!

[911truthseekers]

this is not Americas first!!!! Michael Strizki built the 1st I do believe!

[XavierHolland]

Hydrogen is explosive... O_o

[0007justis]

Excellent ibew electician in alaska. was reading and watching our power hour.when i ran accross this. i have been interested in solar and hydrogen conversion process for some time this has renewed my hopes in finding a solution to the problems for sometime. I am truly excited to find this.. is there a way to get the detaled schematics and blue prints for this PrOJECT?? GREATLY APPRICATED. as i am looking for a way to help the tribes in poverty stricen areas with systems and to develop anaproach

Thane Heins of Ottawa took his perpetual motion device (the Perepiteia) to Boston to show it to Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Markus Zahn at MIT's Laboratory for Electromagentic and Electonic Systems.

[brianwesley28]

Go, Merchant Marines. I'm in the process of doing something similar, actually. On a serious budget and with a lack of help and assistance, but that's what is so good about the Internet and YouTube, right? Very nice. I'm going to have to do it a bit differently, but there are many similarities. Great job, guys. Thanks for posting this, too.

[jthowery]

So the Hydrogen gas, When used to make electricity is sent to a generator then the exhaust or water is sent back to the collection tank? i missed the generator i guess? ?

[wiscokiddd]

You probably found out already but a fuel cell is an electo-chemical way of producing electricity without a motor or generator.

[MasterPCTech]

The generator is the fuel cell: Hydrogen combines with oxygen in the fuel cell, and gives off hot water (or steam) and electricity. The highly purified water necessary to generate clean hydrogen (without misc sulpher compounds that damage the platinum parts of a fuel cell) is collected for reuse in the little white tank, and returned to the main system.

Judging by the number of PVs, this looks like a $100k+ setup. Still, fantasic work guys!

[BballRAZE]

the hydrogen gas and probably oxygen or air would go into a fuel cell to create electricity. The byproducts of the fuel cell electricity generation process would be water, electricity and heat. So the water that is produced by the fuel cell would be drained back into that bucket of water which supplies the electrolyzer. There is no generator in the system as far as I understand.

[blueshadow1996]

Thats a GOOD system..

[911truthseekers]

Michael Strizki built the first one, not these guys! They just want you to think that. I left a comment about that on here a few months ago, and they deleted it! So who's suppressing information! LOL, they just want you to think they were the first and that they are so great!

[bossou5555]

what size of ac unit is in this house.

[Scoti45]

Would like to know how much extra it costs to

have this system in place?

[Scoti45]

Do they do Tours of this home I would like to see it in person!

[imboxster]

the hydro sys is called "HHO" and "Stan Meyer" figured it out 22khtz ac and .5 amp is all you need. search it there is a world of hope for the future now thanks to Stan and you tube. LIVE FREE OR DIE

[brianwesley28]

I agree. I have a question. I've been playing with some H2 and HHO generators. I actually got an H2 equipped 1988 Honda Accord with over 150,000 miles, at the time, with a carb and a transaxle that was slipping and dripping from the moment that I purchased it from a neighbor on the cheap, to achieve an even 50 mpg between Wewoka, OK and Ada, OK, when I re-topped her off on the way to Dallas, after visiting relatives in Wewoka. I haven't played with the electronics of the HHO. Any tips, or links?

[BballRAZE]

HHO is a scam...

[ericbellend]

I like it, thanks for posting it up here, good food for thought.

I just hope pv panels come down in price, I had to save up and spend over $900 for the single 85W 5Amp panel which tops up my 3x110Ah batteries! The 600W limit of my 12V dc/ac converter lets me run all my energy saving lights, tv etc ok for a time but i'm finding space heating, hot water and cooking are the really difficult ones. (btw, as an aside, i've read a Ballard 1.3kw fuel cell uses 19 litres of hydrogen a minute!!!!)

[ubroc1]

hello hydrogen fuel cell car. I can make my own gas.

[w0r1dpeace]

it's good ... it's rough and a bit sprawled out but do a search for the first transistor and you'll begin to get a sense of how much more compact and intelligent this system will become.

[jwsoup]

Hey can we see a bit more on your hydrogen sytems. I cant wait until tech. like this is commonplace for all construction. SUN as power great who would have thought that. HMMM maybe plants for millions of years. I just dont know why we take so long to catch on.

[n8rsk8r1]

This is badass!!! Please post up an email so I can get ahold of you for information on the technology and sources you used!!! TWO THUMBS UP!!!

[teresatoneytm]

Don't listen to the haters this is great!

[latinamajor]

The garden looked pathetic. Engineer wiz kids who obviously don't know a damn thing about growing food.

The hot water heater is also quite easy... leave a black garden hose out in the front yard on a sunny day for an hour and then turn the water on and watch it burn you hand.

The hydro gas sounds interesting but looks dangerous as hell... hope the house doesn't ever catch on fire, eh?

the recycled cardboard looked pretty cool imo.

[Fastlan3]

Thats what Im talking about...

[javierneptuno]

And these is just the begining

[javierneptuno]

Exelente trabajo, lo que estos cromañones no saben es que en menos de 5 años surgiran multiples fabricantes independientes que estandarizaran y perfeccionaran el sistema haciendolo mas eficiente y mas viable, no solo para viviendas sino que tambien para vehiculos tal y como ya esta ocuriendo gracias al you tube, este es el foro para exponer documentales e intercambiar ideeas que cambiran la forma de obtener energia, for all those negative people, fuck the war and fuck the oil.

[fletcho11]

LOL, so many neg comments ,these are people thinking

outside the box , may work may not , but its another thought on how we can stop using oil , nat gas , or coal , what have you done ?

I thought it was a great look at yet another but costly way to move foward .

[SlickManChoux]

Thermal solar installations ok but anything 2 do with hydrogene is serious business cos highly explosif not in my home anyway

[NanetteW]

It isn't really a home, as no one lives in it. I'm wondering if this is how they were able to surmount the typical government or local restrictions, as this is only a demonstration home. ?

[TwoBun]

Wow, These IBEW people seem so nice and smart. I wonder how thay got that way? I wonder if I'll ever get to be as nice and smart as they are?

[7forward]

Cut your electric bill by up to 25% or more...

[youtubupete]

When will solar hydrogen be available?

[sirHOAX]

Truly Innovative, Honestly that is the only thing that can save this country. Americans being innovative and self-sufficient, not having to rely on others for something they can accomplish on their own. Specifically generating their own electricity.

Currently I am working on HHO-Cell technology. The funny thing is I live on Long Island too. Ironic..

Regards, Dr. HOAX

[mykol13v]

What is your average sunny days in a year in New York. Do you have to shovel snow off your solar panels to keep the energy transfer available?

[pioneeringmind]

The thermal piping most likely just heats water for the homes hot water supply. Although you could run the hot water through some kind of turbine to produce electricity. Check out my website are interested in a home like this. Just search google for "innovate energy" to find my site.

[PMorphy65]

Cleaver! How does the energy of hot water get converted into electrical energy? And what is the construction of the thermal piping? Is there water flowing inside? Please explain, because I want to make on of these. Thanks.

[xexorz]

It doesn't. The solar water heater does just that - it heats cold water to make hot water for use in the home. It replaces the homes water heater. Solar to heat is very easy and can be 90%+ efficient. Solar to electric is ~15% efficient.

[xbitty]

yay- it can be done.
