can you please send me the link again where you found an old lamp from 1900s where the zinc was in a mesh basket and self regulated the hydrogen out to a platinum catalyst thanks

This is amazing. I submitted my idea for a sci project on running a car on water when I was 14 (I knew nothing about zinc at the time 16 years ago). My sci teacher laughed at me for the idea "understandably" because gas prices were not a problem and so I never entered... but the next day he put zinc in "water" showing me how it did the separation process more efficiently. It never made sense to me before but now I know he must of actually used sulfuric acid - thanks for the vid, take care!!!!

Excellent! After looking at your videos and some thorough research, I've been making my own hydrogen, and put it to use as a lamp. I actually used AlchemistShaman's ideas as well, 1982-present pennies. Turns out if you leave the copper coating on one side it reacts faster. Copper must be a catalyst.
Oh, and don't use glass for a container. The sulfuric acid I used slowly started eating through it.

US pennies from the year 1982 onward are zinc inside. Score the edges with a file and the acid can contact. With sulfuric acid, more concentration is NOT better. Sulfuric acid needs water to attack metals. 20% sulfuric acid will attack metals much better than 98%

I manage a chemical plant that makes zinc sulfate,every week we disolve 7500lbs of zinc oxide,it would be very expensive to produce hydrogen in this manner

Thank you for the advice. I do need to figure out how much hydrogen a pellet makes. I am thinking that perhaps chemical reaction hydrogen might be used if a 12v system needs a little boost.

cant be safe if burned as a gas
Haha i bought those same zinc pellets form the same guy on ebay

Water, This does work but it does not seem to make enough hydrogen to be useful. However the experence is excellent as we experment in this feild.

i did tests at work with muriatic acid and zinc powder, extremely unstable and dangerous, violent reactions. I don't recommend attempting. Though I've tried the zinc coated nails, good strong reactions, but short lived, both zinc and acid deplete. Stay Away.

Thanks for the comment. I have been expermenting with this as well and do not see that it will make hydrogen to use. But it has got us thinking in the right direction now.
