electrolytic cell for hydrogen
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am doing a project to put together a rig to produce hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. the objective I have set for this project is to maximise H2 output per unit volume of the system. i want to get an idea of the sort of performance possible with at 3 budget points: R10 000, R20 000 and R30 000 (ZAR).
ideally this system would have a maximum volume of 5 cubic metres, although size is not a key issue. the dimensions of this 5 cubic metres are also flexible as long as the volume of the cuboid it can fit into is equal to or less than 5 m^3.
the functions of the system should include electrolysis to produce and separate the hydrogen, and storing it in a pressurised container. Key objectives include: maximising H2 output (even at the expense of efficiency), all components should be electrically powered, 5-10 year operating life (running 12 hours per day).
