aluminum hydrogen generator 2

[GTIBully]

I have found aluminum cans are a poor choice for fuel probably due to the plastic coating on the inside and paint on the other. Try using clean aluminum and the reaction will occur much faster.

The nay sayers, where do they come from? Keep it to yourself. 

[helpmonkey]

awesome ... there are experimenting with Al alloys to do this on a large scale but you clearly show here that it can be done by anyone ... maybe no energy gain but it makes the hydrogen very portable as the energy density of the aluminum would be 100x more then even the best L-Ion batteries ...

[RedPillSurvival]

Awesome job kiddo. Keep up the good work. BTW, this is the future of energy. There is enough scrap aluminum out there to power the world for decades.

[treehouseman3]

Element not gas I meant

[treehouseman3]

Anybody who thinks hydrogen is bad for you is retarded hydrogen is the most abundant gas on the planet

[cobraskeo]

can you light it..

[jdtrickster]

What you are doing is producing a gas that is bad for you. Careful you do not breathe that in

[nomizeis1]

try setting on fire the end of the tube

[nomizeis1]

0:19 Hydrogen gas is NOT converted to water vapor, but the heat of the reaction makes the water to boil therefore water vapor is released

[rickcoona]

fun stuff. you will want to filter the gas as you are generating acid fumes with the heat reaction to test this try some litmus paper in the water you may want to try and neutralize the acid with a base in the water like perhaps baking soda

a larger container will keep the reactor liquid out of the pip. try using aluminum scrap in place of soda cans

how would you shut it off? lol thats pretty cool tho dude

[worldismine69]

very nice job dude i am pride off you

we need more person like you

[fuckyouahahahaha]

Try running a DeLorean.

[ingesumadre]

it might run a small engine, or it may save some gas on your regular car if its regulated the hydrogen use a valve and a high presure bottle

[dylanthorner]

try running a small lawn mower

This is not sound science. Aluminum is one of the most abundant metals on earth but it takes an enormous amount of energy to get pure aluminum from the ore.

Yes, 1 gram of aluminum will produce quite a bit of hydrogen but the amount of energy required to produce that 1 gr of AL makes the end-to-end energy gain a net loss.

You're ruining the world with your expirements! Stop what you're doing and go read a basic Physics textbook & then get back to us.

[serversysadm]

I never said there was any net energy gain. I was pointing out how much energy was stored and how I was able to utilize it

[bfmes]

@serversysadm  Were you able to somehow control the heat generated?

[BlackDogSociety]

But if you use Aluminum cans that would normally be thrown away would that not be a net gain? Even though they should not everyone recycles, if they thought they could run the vehicles on AL cans I'd bet they wouldn't toss as many out. H2 from aluminum is a viable energy solution. Maybe you should research the idea more. Check out info on AL-GA alloy Hydrogen production as well as several published viability studies...

[Rodger2727]

@bassplayapdx It also takes energy to haul it off to the landfill.

[jesslessthemess]

@bassplayapdx lol...get real. go back to sleep. good thing we have an endless supply of billion year old toxic sludge to inefficiently burn. GO TROLL THE JUSTIN BEBER CHANNELS AND TELL THEM HOW THEIR LOVE FOR HIM WILL RESULT IN A NET LOSS OF HAPPINESS

[a2zhandi]

@bassplayapdx haha, energy loss. YOU'd probably have the exact same results if you were to put "unprocessed ore" in there. LOOK, NO net loss!!

[PainlessHHO]

I'm also interested in this, apparently, aluminum normally reacts this way with just water, however, the release of the hydrogen forms an oxidisation layer on the aluminum stopping the reaction from continuing. The lye removes the oxidisation layer.

I bought a 1lb spool of aluminum mig welder wire today for $10 from Lowes, I plan on trying that on a slow feed.

It is putting out steam and hydrogen because you are running it to hot.

Yours went better than my first one. The glass broke on my first one.

Here are some facts to help you.

A soda can weight is 13g it can make 15.6 Liters of hydrogen gas and should only use 0.666666 ml of water.

1 gal of water can make 1800 gallons of Hydrogen and you will need 12.5181 lb. of aluminum.

1 gram of aluminum can make 1.2 liters of hydrogen. Keep up the experiments.
