He STILL needs one. Maybe he can get the Swedish Chef from The Muppet Show. I' am REALLY interested in this, bu his accent makes it damn hard to understand WTH he is talking about.
@@juleklO He is original autor from video where he is speaking on russian. Videos which gain many views honored to translate and voice it to english. Russian channel name is Thoisoi.
Petrochemicals have many uses other than making gasoline, diesel and other types of fuels. I'm a big advocate for hydrogen for a fuel source and with the help of solar power to provide the energy to create hydrogen by fracturing water makes it less costly over time to produce fuel cell hydrogen.
The idea of hydrogen fuel cells isn't new. The problem is transportation of hydrogen. It is the smallest molecule, hence it penetrates every polymer (so far) and thus is unable to be transportet. Just think of a balloon filled with helium, it won't hold it for a very long time.
The Oil Industry is so paranoid about this "renewable energy" it would be easier just to "Doc Brown" their asses for $100million. They would be so happy that the device is a phony, they wouldn't worry about ya anymore, cause luckily any type of corporate embarrassment is worth Billions to not give it a second thought. xD
@@thapelomashaomasemola7922 just as long as you keep the 2 in seperate containers . should be relatively safe. storing them in the same container though and you may have some problems... not just of the explosive type either.
OMG this is the first time i have seen your face and you look nothing like how i pictured. You look way way younger than i expected . Keep up the great vids and thanks for sharing them with us:)
Love this channel, and I will agree with the other who have commented on your improvement in English. No need for voice overs, your English is quite good!
Hyundai and Korea are doing alot of research and experiments in relation to hydrogen power plants, Korea are making a city powered on Hydrogen as we speak
@Punchy the vehicles already exist (hyundai and toyota are really pushing it with the Hyundai Nexo and Toyota Mirai) and have for some time now but the city conversions are still going, as for production, its hard to say but I would definitely guess its from natural gas reformation as thats the most common way of mass producing it.
@Punchy I just looked up their current plans, they plan on using petrochemical hydrogen (so the original way they mass produced Hydrogen from fossil fuels) and then once the infastructure is in place and proven to then make it carbon neutral. pretty cool and if it works it will definitely put the push on other countries to add hydrogen pumps at fuel stations or other stations
I'm addicted to your videos. I used to hate chemistry in my school days but now I realize it's quite fun if you master it. Keep working, you gonna get an Oscar for sure
Glad you use your own voice rather than a computer generated voice. I can understand perfectly. The accent gives the video a touch of class. Love your channel and videos. Hydrogen is still a very interesting element. It’s amazing that our modern day society still hasn’t really realized hydrogen’s potential. In effect you could fill the tank up with water and let electrolysis do the rest.
I enjoy your voice, man. Sometimes I put your videos on when I'm struggling with sleep, and the topics you discuss along with that voice are super relaxing. Thanks you!
Did you power a hydrogen generator / with your hydrogen fuel cell to produce fuel for a combustion engine / electric motor / Recycled Water fuel, water exhaust and recycled using platinum from a catylitic coverter ? They put the stuff you need to build hydrogen fuel cell in exhaust systems to produce CO2 (and then cry about the CO2 )! And lie about hydrogen being dirty from oil refining ! some hydrogen is produced is and burned off ass wast , not enjected back into the oil fuels to make them far far more efficient!!! They would sell less fuel and make less money ( less fuel would mean less pollution / they are liars and they could not care less about the Earth's environment ) !
Cool and educational... sadly I don't think this is so useful There doesn't seem to be a way to increase it's use. Even if you double or triple, or more, the layering.
okay so i am not a chemist and when i first read the title i was thinking about hydrogen combustion engines, but it turned out to be electricity made by presenting the hydrogen to some attractive good looking oxygen but there is a barrier in between that the electron of the hydrogen atom can't pass and the hydrogen atom likes the oxygen more than its electron so it leaves its electron to meet up with his love Oxygen and then the electron of the hydrogen atom is forced through a circuit so it can rejoin its hydrogen that is now dating oxygen in a 2H 1O polygamous relationship? poor electron has to travel all the way through the circuit to meet up with its hydrogen again :(
Infinite recycle-able energy. One day we will run out of lithium to make batteries. But will never run out of water. And it converts back to water after use.
No. Not infinite recycleable energy. Its a storage of energy not a source of energy. You always get out less energy of the system than you put in. You could say thats it is an "infinitly recyclable battery" tho.
It's no zeropoint multidimensional piezoelectric inertial mechanical quartz resonator that titors on curie temperature at rapid oscillator quantum realitive variables. Thats for sure.
Infinite recycle-able energy. One day we will run out of lithium to make batteries. But will never run out of water. And it converts back to water after use.
This is amazing to me. Imagine how different the world would be if we put in the money and time to this. If there are no waste products from the elements
Thank you for taking the effort to give it an English voice-over. I'm from the Netherlands and I really like your high quality content! Would have been a shame if it was only available in Russian which I cannot understand, sadly enough :(
I'd love to be enthusiastic, but I was reading the predictions of "the hydrogen economy" 25 years ago in popular electronics, and the only thing that's changed since then is the availability to the hobbyist. Excellent demonstration though, your channel is one of the greatest science channels. You're number one of the top three for me.
Hydrogen may make a marginally acceptable energy storage medium, but it it not an energy source. There is no free H2 available on this planet, it all has to be produced. Electrolysis for H2 production is very inefficient. Most H2 used today is produced by steam reformation of methane, which also produces a lot of CO2.
@@fredsasse9973 Fred....what do you think of using Hydrogen fuel cells to store energy?...between solar, wind, hydro....it dies not seem that creating the energy is the issue..Storing it, however? If we used the renewable sources to do the electrolysis, would using H.F.C.'s as storage mediums then be sufficiently efficient? I guess it does not matter, if there is still limited amounts of raw materials, to construct batteries or fuel cells
@@davidwalker8754 I don't think you can store hydrogen in a fuel cell, rather the fuel cell uses hydrogen to produce electricity. The hydrogen that a fuel cell uses has to be stored in some other fashion (like in a pressurized tank). In any event, I think using the energy produced by wind, solar, etc. to produce hydrogen (i.e. through electrolysis) is a huge waste of energy (you never get back anywhere near the energy you expend to make hydrogen through conversion via a fuel cell). It's better to store the wind & solar energy in some other fashion.
they already had extremely efficient ways of getting it from water, its been suppressed. they had water powered cars in the 80s, us pentagon refused the guy public patents, said only private and military use no exceptions. guy held out, died in a restaurant meeting with alleged investors from belgium. was even on mainstream news at the time, can still watch the clips. Stanley Mayer. He was not the only one, just one example.
Could you tell me what the increased efficiency is using nickel sponge plated with platinum ????? How about using titanium or stainless steel ???? Thanks and peace
Ethylene glycol fuel cells have one main benefit over HFC's in using liquid fuel, but also have additional benefits like being more efficient, and using cheaper catalysts.
I noticed that, but I think it’s just a slip. Later he talks about only hydrogen being oxidized. However the problem isn’t with oxygen being oxidized because the word “oxidize” means losing electrons (in terms of REDOX reactions, and yes it is a little bit of a confusing term). And as the person above wrote - fluorine is great at stealing electrons from other elements, including oxygen, so it is entirely possible for oxygen to be oxidized. The problem is because he inferred that the hydrogen and the oxygen oxidize at the same time, which if they are combing to form water, is not true. It has to occur as a pair - one will be oxidized and the other reduced. In this case hydrogen will be oxidized (lose electrons) and oxygen will be reduced (gain electrons).
LOL in Europe here are some cars already using hidrogen and a contract between countries to make about 100 fuel stations in the next few years. So this will be the next generation of energy
How much v and a can be used on the square shape pem membrane if you were to create hydrogen oxygen with this as in last experiment minute 14? Or what do you recommend to use for that to create oxygen from pure water?
These fuel cells seem fairly inefficient, or at least in it's current state. Wouldn't it still be more efficient to run a small combustion generator? Im curious to see a hydrogen combustion engine
one of the most interesting channels out there, even through i was never one into chemistry or any sciece matter of fact, i still love to watch your videos
SORRY, I am in *ON MY SOAPBOX MODE:* Another advantages of hydrogen is it can be used NOW in existing vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, AND in future vehicles which use fuel cells. Switching to all-battery-electric vehicles means ALL existing motor vehicles become obsolete. It is both IMPRACTICAL and ECONOMICALLY UNFEASIBLE to do that in a time span short of DECADES.
1969, my Science Fair project was on using CO from auto exhaust as fuel for cell. Platinum got poisoned too quickly, though by the CO and CO2. I didn’t have knowledge or technology to reach temperatures high enough. Anyway, really cool. Appreciate you and your channel.
FWIW: Some people are afraid of hydrogen because of what happened to the passenger airship _HINDENBURG,_ DESPITE all the advantages of using hydrogen. Funny thing is, many -- perhaps most or even all -- of these same people would gladly take a cruise on an ocean going cruise liner, despite what happened to _HMS TITANIC._ 🙄
Starting at about 15:30 in this video: I have seen numerous electric bicycles advertised over the last few years, but I have never been that interested in them, due to having to take time to recharge the batteries. For SOME REASON, it NEVER occurred to me to use a _Hydrogen Fuel Cell_ as a power source for such a bicycle. And YES, I have known about fuel cell powered automobiles for decades. I am also rather _confounded[?]_ by Elon Musk's _dislike_ of hydrogen fuel cells. {And I do GREATLY RESPECT the man for his accomplishments.}. IMHO: Until batteries can be RECHARGED as fast as a hydrogen-fueled vehicle {either internal combustion OR fuel cell electric} can be REFUELED, *and* until batteries can be made to last as long as hydrogen fuel cells and not be made with the toxic materials hydrogen fuel cells are made from, _HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS_ will be the best choice for powering motor vehicles.
When will these Chemical elements, please? No video produced, these are missing H, C, N, F, Na, Ga, Ca, Mg, Tc, In, Ni, As, Se, Kr, At, Rn, Fr, Pm, Tb. Thank you.
Unaware of Nickel Mrtal Hydride batteries which are actually Hydrogen fuel cells. Raney Nickel stores Hydrogen and Nickel Oxide stores Oxygen. Getting Oxygen from air requires higher temp to activate Oxygen but also allows fuel cells to use Methane instead of just Hydrogen. Used in Japan and NASDAQ: Platinized Carbon and Nickel Oxide electrodes in Phosphoric acid electrolyte at 350C.
there is *no* way that charging and discharging a lithium cell is 99% efficient. It get's warm during use (in a drone like this), which means you're loosing at minimum single digit watts to heat. Same goes for charging - unless you want to wait multiple hours, the cell gets warm during charging.
i have tube cell oxide, cooper and aluminium poles! allu center cooper exterior coil in coil or wire in coil. you good scienceman, i want to help... free energy device. .5 to1.2v can convert energy....convert almost unlimited volts can be sent to them, they filter out amp and charge with pure volt... good good no source loos or so minimun is incredible!
Ok so I just started watching the first video I've seen from your channel ( "Tin - A metal that destroys itself" ), and you used the Citadel's alarm bell sound from Half-Life 2 for the warning. I have no idea who you are, or how good your videos are, but I am genuinely required to subscribe to you just for using that sound because it's probably my favorite one in the entire game. I'm commenting this on your most recent video in hopes that you'll see it and/or respond in some way.
Do you hypothisize that if you use more than 10 cells it would provide enough electricity for the electrolosis or if you add what some "electrical diy project youtubers" call a "jule thief" or "jule ringer" it would amplify the voltage enough for 10 or more cells to power the electrolosis while the tubeing is in a "closed loop"? of course you would need to start it off with a boost and nearly %99.9 (there is no key for "overdash") pure H2O but i guess it would run simular to a "Herons fountain" only appaering to be self sustaining but very slowly loosing progress till it entropies. it would make for an intresting project at the least.
It would've been great to build such a Device, but this is way beyond the Average Person Ability's to Achieve for many reasons. Two Main Reason Are Expense and Availability. Another down Fall would be, Product Size. To Power anything really useful this Device would need to be 100's of time Larger in Capacity. Maybe Thousands of time Larger. The Expense of PLATUIM would cost more than Home and Land. No good reason for the Commoner to start such an Endeavor in my opinion. Now if you were to show how this could be done using common Materials that would be easily sourced by the Commoner, then your work would have a greater Merete. I'm giving you a Theoretical Thumbs Down because of Complex and being out of reach for the Average Person. A Thumbs Up because this is possible to do if you have a Very Deep Wallet. Please take your time and find a way to make this with Common Products. Thanks for the upload. PS Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. IT'S APPRECIATED BY ME.
It is quite easy to convert a hydrogen fuel cell into a rechargeable battery by removing the platinum and filling the cell with a saturated salt water solution. Charging the battery will electrolyze the NaCl into sodium hydroxide on one side and HCl on the other. The two chemicals can convert back into salt water by passing a proton through the Nafion membrane and an electron through the circuit. It is far more energy dense than hydrogen gas at atmospheric pressure and needs no expensive catalyst. You just have to make sure that the housing and electrodes can handle such strong chemicals.
Hydrogen is actually a very viable fuel source because Elon Musk calls it "stupid". He's the leader of electric vehicles, obviously this is a direct challenge to his vehicle design. He obviously knows it's potential through his work in aerospace engineering as one of NASA's longest-running fuels is Hydrogen/Oxygen combustion. Someone, years ago, bought out a patent for an Aluminum-Gallium alloy to be used in hydrogen production. It produces a lot of hydrogen and is 100% renewable as the byproduct can be turned back into the alloy. Never forget this, the people in charge are _never_ out for your best interests.
When? Hydrogen and the fuel cell have been under investigation for at least 20 years in terms of use in cars. The biggest issue with hydrogen is storage and safety. That’s what has always prevented large scale acceptance. It is much more dangerous to handle than liquid fossil fuels such as petrol. Chinese and Australian researchers have recently been making big strides into using ammonia as the storage medium, and then having that converted to hydrogen as needed. A much safer option than strapping a cylinder of hydrogen under the car...
I'm trying to watch this video but it keeps buffering every couple seconds. However if I watch a different video I'm not having that problem at all. Why is it only buffering on THIS video?
Are you calling hydrogen renewable? You apparently don’t know how hydrogen is refined. Fyi, HHO generators produce mostly steam bubbles at great energy cost. It’s not how hydrogen is produced industrially.
If only platnum was cheaper! What about a turbine engine burning hydrogen? Like a micro turbine, the size of a 18650, or 26650, with a tiny generator, it could be used to charge super capacitors or lithium batteries in drones, I think internal combustion engines have a long useful life, even in the 21'st century, they may only be used as range extenders, similar to a diesel electric locomotive, only with Batteries, and much smaller. Or a Prius with much larger battery!
The real trick would be to extract it out of the atmosphere, and concentrate it enough to be used as a fuel source. But since only 0.000055% of the atmosphere is Hydrogen.... Maybe a chemical or compound that would draw Hydrogen out of the atmosphere....?
the Hundai ix35 need 11000liter H2/100km the tank of the car can hold 5,6kg H2 what results in 62000 liter glad they calculated in kg/pund and not in Liter/gallon
I know there isn't anthropological global warming, but I'm a very enthusiastic by hydrogen energy! Despite I'm working for a petroleum company! Searching for oil deeper on earth is a beautiful technology but its time is over! The future is the hydrogen!
I'm going to comment on the Ford add Google gave me. If they would build something dependable and efficient I would buy there cars. Sadly they consistently build bad transmissions, have unreliable suspension, and accessory components.
I wanted to try doing some research to lower the cost for these at scale but uh, where tf can I buy nafion? am I pretty much limited to making it myself or taking a shot at a shady listing? I want to ensure that the membrane is good so that I can focus on anode/cathode material and distribution but I'm pretty bad at chemistry and even worse at working with super thin materials. I'm thinking using lead/lead oxide will be the first I try as lead acid batteries are very abundant and are easily recyclable. amazon and most people I know that are into chemistry don't list/know of a place that lists the stuff. I hope to transform it into something akin to a lead acid battery; cheap to produce, recyclable, big/heavy, reasonable albeit short lifespan, and has good performance. honestly, if the fuel cell were to cost basically nothing hydrogen would probably resurface in the ev market, large scale power storage, and probably a bunch of others I'm not aware of. the main problem with green energy rn isn't collecting the energy its storing for when demand is high so even if it has a round trip of like 10% its still better than nothing for when the more efficient storages are topped as otherwise you'd be storing 0/10 instead of 1/10.
It's great pointing out the benefits of hydrogen fuel cells and the energy they can generate yet you never mention anything about the energy that goes into making the hydrogen and the energy that goes into making the fuel cells. Imho, I'd say one is not gaining anything out of it!!! It's a no brainer!!!
Just curious, but instead of converting electricity into hydrogen, then hydrogen back into electricity to power an electric engine, wouldn't it be more efficient (at least on larger scales, I'm talking cars) to burn the hydrogen in an internal combustion engine? Also, aside from drones and bikes, I think such hydrogen batteries would make more sense in trucks, where you absolutely need to make as many miles as possible in a very short time. In electric cars, it would make more sense to keep the 300-500km range that we currently have with lithium batteries and just stop and recharge for a few hours (it would also help if parking lots will be accommodated with charging stations, so people won't have to go to the station like they do now with ICE cars). There's quite a lot to unpack in this comment, so thanks in advance for the replies.
Sadly, Hydrogen is produced from natural gas nowadays, because it's a lot cheaper, so if hydrogen cars were to be run today, they wouldn't really be renewable. The efficiency is also affected by the energy required to compress the hydrogen, getting it transported from the manufacturing plants to refilling stations, etc. An hydrogen car has lots of range, however, and can be refilled quickly. Probably the best for hydrogen would be if the refilling stations themselves performed electrolysis with solar power. But then there's the issue of the cost. How much will the hydrogen cost. For city use, it's hard to beat a BEV. The range is more than enough, you can recharge at home, and recharging would be quite cheap.
Why don't you just use a Rubber Gasket to gap and separate the two platinum electrodes? I'm fairly certain that might be better than using the Nafium Film... The Hydrogen gas would flow between the two electrodes much more quickly then. If you are worried air might get into the bottom it won't it will just be pushed out by the hydrogen since it will always be rising...
instead of generating hydrogen to produce electricity to run a motor for example, wouldn't it be better to have the hydrogen produced be mixed with normal air-fuel mixture to increase combustibility of fossil fuels in a normal combustion engine? Surely that would decrease fuel required to produce an equal release of energy, meaning that we would lower demand of fossil fuel, and thus lower pollution? Surely this approach would be a lot cheaper in the short run as well due to this approach being a mixed fuel approach, as opposed to an all or nothing approach that current manufacturers are taking? Such as purely hydrogen or purely battery based? I wouldnt say this is an end goal system to adopt, but for the time being, a quick, effective, and most importantly relatively cheap way to increase fuel efficiency across billions of vehicles would surely make a large impact? thanks!
Hydrogen has many usage advantage, from a tape roll of burning fuel to electricity combo, you can take extremely massive infastructures into exo orbit. How? Heard of vhigh ballons? You can re-compress the ballons, the same time into a rocket canister, while it thrusts also fuel inside, going up, at near peak point of the balloons max height, eventually zero grav & air friction all the way to orbit velocity. At starting gradually accel to original velocity ballon to boosters.
I’m pretty sure if they made hydrogen batteries they would be astronomically expensive so expensive that quite a few people would not be able to afford one. It would be something nice if they would be but they are dangerous. That’s probably why we don’t see many hydrogen powered vehicles because basically they’d be a mini hydrogen bomb basically right?
You don't have to cut the legs off the elites if you just use oil based fuel combined with hydroxi gas directly into the air intake of a car and have a mechanism that gives more gas when needed. That way make you use 90+% of the normal combusiton fuel, makes it a lot cleaner and makes your car more powerful and drive a lot further compared to normal fuel consumption. I would recommend every car get a hydroxi kit installed to get all the benefits until we get a 100% environmental friendly solution later down the line. This is the way forward so the greedy elites don't cripple this moving forward by getting money for their oil products until it is not needed anymore.
Its still hard to understand you. But I get the ideas. But I'm very disappointed because the video information appeared to be saying that you were going to show us proof that you can fly your drone for 3 hours. But you did not show anything like this. You just spoke a bunch of words, and not one real result. Let me know when you can actually do what you claimed. Fly your drone for 3 hours on a hydrogen cell. I don't think you can.
Hydrogen cars is a fools airend. There is lots more issues with hydrogen than you state. Also saying that issues like price of hydrogen will be economy feasible is unfounded. Even if hydrogen was competitive it batteries is a better choice for personal transport. Also saying that hydrogen would give your drone more range is also unfounded. If this was true we would have hydrogen powered drones by now sins cost of fuel is a non issue for small drones. Just look at the avaliable small hydrogen mobile chargers that do exist, their terrible. Also, just take a look at state of the art hydrogen cars, their heavier than both their fossil and electric counterparts, and don't deliver more real world range. So easy to check. Hydrogen economy is a myth. Hydrogen is "the Nicola motors" of energy storage.
Not your English, your new battery invention is a very great foot steps forward. Please send me a battery if you can to light up till I expair. Thanks and godbless.
Hey there Thoisoi. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make your videos in English to teach us awesome and entertaining things about science. I know it isnt your first language and english can be hard to learn, so I really wanted to take the time to thank you. Its not appreciated enough.
