Homemade Generator that runs on Water and Aluminium (Experiment)

[@west1343]

What's cool about this is I had the same idea a few years ago but never got further than balanced equations that said it should be possible to produce enough hydrogen with lye and aluminum to run a small motor. So now I have a real world example to see! On a side note- the lye does act like a catalyst and regenerates itself until it absorbs carbon from the air (CO2) or aluminum impurities creating non-reactive sodium carbonate. The aluminum basically reverts back to it's natural form of Aluminum Oxide so if washed of lye isn't really much of a pollutant. There are people like me that might work at aluminum machining shops that might be able to come up with cheap aluminum. The energy density of Aluminum is higher than gasoline on a per liter basis! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#/media/File:Energy_density.svg Very good work!

Thanks :) Click Here- Amazon.com/Shop/ExperimentalFun Many people were asking me if this would run on water so I decided to make a video showing how it would work with Water, Aluminium and sodium hydroxide. Although this does run on hydrogen extracted from the water (H2O), the real main consumable is the Aluminium, but you can often find scrap aluminium for free. Thanks for watching :)

[@breezeli2524]

Suggestion, if lime is available (construction left overs), you can add baking soda (Na2CO3) + lime (CaO) + tap water to replace sodium hydroxide. That will generate hydrogen too but is safer and cheaper than NaOH is. Some illustration for one of the former viewers, Aluminum plus sodium hydroxide is highly exothermic, the water filter is to cool down the gas and remove most of the moisture. The carbon filter is to remove the residual moisture. Damp air damages the engine fast, especially when it cools and deposits water inside the chamber.

[@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259]

For accounting purposes, were there any toxic processes to make the fuel or byproducts remaining to dispose of?

[@1001-u2i]

The reaction is: 2Al+2NaOH+2H2O>2NaAlO2+3H2 and the engine’s combustion is 2H2+O2=2H2O. Since the engine’s only exhaust is water (ideally, but oil often burns) there is no issue with exhaust. As for the reactor, if the reaction is measured correctly and ran to completion, the only remaining chemical is sodium aluminate, which is corrosive and an irritant. Sodium aluminate is pretty useful though so its not a terrible waste product.

[@zdw306]

So how 'fuel efficient' is this? By which I mean how long can the reaction sustain to create the hydrogen gas. Or the rate of aluminum dissolving in the solution. This could provide some insight into if this could be a good alternative in the case of emergency 'hurricane comes through, and no petrol or diesel to fuel anything' Also once the aluminum is dissolved in the solution and it stops going, can you use electrolysis to 'burn' the solution out and leave a dry metallic film or crystal behind that would be a reacted form of aluminum which could be recycled for reuse after some chemical processing

[@pwrovld]

This not an efficient process. 1 gram of aluminum will produce approximately 125ml of hydrogen. The amount of electricity depends on the method used to produce it. A fuel cell is the most efficient. Combusting it to produce steam is the least efficient. Running an internal combustion engine/generator falls somewhere in between.

i don't know if u noticed but he mentioned that the Al he used was "scrap Al"...it wouldn't have been used for anything else anyways,so even though the initial energy consumed to process bauxite is not completely regenerated, he managed to produce atleast a fraction of the initial amount.....Its a completely different story if the scrap metal is recasted tho

[@alexandrevaliquette1941]

If you consider scap Al as free, you pretty only have to calculate the cost of the NaOH. But how bad is it to flush large qtty of residual NaOH + Sodium Aluminate into the sewer?

S1R9A9M9 ran his Briggs 18HP mower engine 2008 on water in carb with the high volts ignition and 10 amps from temporary only battery and then alternator. The load voltage needed was over 1200 volts so he used bare wire so as the high voltage had induction leakage to low voltage side of the S1R coil assembly to raise up the low volts to very high value to push amps through spark plug of 125 ohms. The magnetic field on the ignition wire allowed for extension of spark time to about 34% on time ATDC. About 100 volts necessary to overcome small electrodes of gap, plug resistor, and the water resistance. The plastic tub hanging n side of engine has the S1r coils, accessory spark gap, and diodes. The original relay as used on the cars per cylinder, with inductors also would fit inside tub, but not 100% known. Purpose was to show engine can run with minute hydrogen generated and formation of water vapor pressure aiding process, at lower stroke area of piston. See You Tube videos. Web site shut down.

[@sridevij]

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very eco friendly bro

[@DrPWNS-fz6yh]

You should try using gallium to make an amalgamation with aluminum, then recollect the gallium and aluminum after reaction with water, soak it all in acid until it has re-amalgamated. You should have no loss except water. My understanding is the aluminum in the gallium combines with the oxygen in the water to make aluminum oxide, letting loose the hydrogen. The soak in acid removes the oxide layer, allowing the gallium to reabsorb the aluminum. No waste. I think.

[@keksesser8006]

Very interesting Experimental fun. I liked how you used an ev motor from a scooter as the starter and generator very creative, what did you use to connect both engine and electric motor together ? Suggestions for your container so that it will not billow out when a lot of pressure is applied, you can put a pressure relief valve along the output line next to the top of the unit with a second bubbler setup and if your interested in storing the available gas you can compress it into an empty 20lbs. propane tank, cut out an old refrigerator compressor that still runs its built to handle gasses of this nature without causing the h2 to ingnite, remember to have a black flow suppression valve in line from a welding gas unit "most farm equipment stores will have them" just incase of a flare better to be safe then sorry. I would love to share some ideas with you if your interested, and thank you for putting this up it brightened my day

[@robertkehlerjr.8258]

almost forgot to add something to my last message... the pressure relief valve will only let enough pressure out and still have enough pressure to operate your engine, also think about increasing the diameter of your line so theres less restriction from the small size ... this will allow you to run a two cycle engine close to 5 horse power without any power restrictions and still have enough extra power when taxing the motor with a load. if your able to get your hands on a good size piece of PVC water pipe say 6 to 10 inches in diameter and 12" long you can cap the one end with an end cap and the other end with a removable screw cap plus you can do your bubblers this way too and have a high pressure vessel to contain your gas, I am not sure where you reside but it would cost around 25 to 30 U.S. dollars to make

You need a basket or the like with the aluminium in it to lower into the water and remove if you want to stop the reaction.

To gain 1.5 or 2Kw of power would be really great.

[@OnwardUpward-kq4bk]

To anybody wanting to duplicate this experiment: You would want to utilize a METAL reaction chamber in which can withstand pressure (possible improvisation being using a household pressure cooker with minor modifications); possibly grind aluminum to a fine powder with a ball mill (marbels and rolling glass jar for improvisation) and lastly utilize a diy equivalent of pressure equalized addition funnel, allowing precise control over how much and how quickly you add your consumable reactant (which is why I'm thinking ball mill for Al powder). Whatever you do, DON'T do as shown in this video, starting a run-away reaction within a NON pressure withstanding container.. Trust when I say this is a very BAD idea in which you WILL regret. And worse yet, doing so in a plastic reaction container combined with BOTH TOXIC, Flamable and Explosive gases.. REAL bad idea! Even the OP discovered this in his video, and is using a garden hose to add water in attempt to dilute the reaction and get it under control, all the while the Hydrogen gas being produced is escaping out the open cap and into the room with him. I've got a minor 'wiff' of Hydrogen once, and I learned MY Lesson. I had been curious how elemental Lithium would behave coming into contact with water, so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal, and cut off a small sliver (extracted from Lithium AA batteries) and tossed it into the lab sink. It violently bounced around like a drunk psychotic person, and generating gas when coming into contact with drops of water in which had been in the sink. i APPARENTLY got a small whiff, and I couldn't breath, it was as if my lungs and everything was paused, I couldn't inhale, exhale, hard to describe. This type of experiment should also be done inside a fume hood! DIY one can be made from metal shelving and wrapping thick 4mil plastic sheeting all the way around it to enclose it, and placing a box fan on top shell and then venting it outdoors thru a ceiling vent .

Wouldn't it be simpler and more efficient to just hook the inverter up to the battery?

how long will the chemcial reaction last before you need to replace solution and how much expense is the cost of the chemcial solution compared to ordinary fuel in this setup?

[@alloypaulson7520]

The cost of the aluminum scrap can be negligible, but a massive amount of the cost will get passed onto wear and tear of the engine. It is significantly more expensive than using traditional gas because of the high cost of the lye (NaOH) that gets used up in the reaction. It's a cool experiment, but not yet practical. There are ways you could reduce costs, such as finding a way to simply expose pure Al to water, producing aluminium rust and hydrogen gas, but I can't think of a way to do that except for keeping the aluminum molten. But combining molten aluminium and not just water but simply moisture in a mold has lead to many foundry explosions and fatalities.

Hello how did you manage the problem with oil to get into the motor? a short video?! thanks for sharing this video.

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

I've heard of fireless steam locomotives that used caustic soda to raise steam, but producing hydrogen from it with aluminum is new to me.

[@ExperimentalFun]

caustic soda powered steam engine sounds neat, it does produce a lot of heat :)

[@Howardhandupme]

My question. How scaleable is this? Could it run a generator of enough size to power something useful?

[@silviuivanov1988]

Yes. 1- adding an asynchronous motor (It will be a much better generator and you may evan power an Xbox, TV and microwave) 2- using a car engine you can put the hydrogen in the air intake and ajusting so that the air is more than the fuel (car engines are 4 stroke so oil will go seperatly) 4- bigger reaction chamber but a wood gasifier or bio digester would be better

[@logannobles]

Now use electrolysis, but use the generator to recharge the battery. Create a loop and see if you can build a generator that doesn't use aluminium.

[@terryellison9706]

Now that you've done this make it more compact and charge a battery, also I just subbed because of this video

[@jort93z]

why charge a battery? might as well just store the hydrogen. thats an easier way to store the energy. for energy storage they already use electrolysis to filter hydrogen and oxygen from water to burn later in a fuel cell when electrical energy is needed. it would just be a waste of power to convert the energy once more.

[@retovath]

jort93z do you know how tiny H2 is? If not, it's really fucking tiny. It's small enough that given 72 hours of time, it can seep through most metals half an inch thick by diffusion of H2 molecules between atoms in a metal's lattice.

[@automan1223]

how long does it keep producing gas and is the aluminum consumed or does the lye give out first ?

I know you're a practical man and that you don't care, but if you don't learn the chemistry you deserve the burns

[@toshkaventures]

What is the cost of this compared to normal fuel ? Did you compare ? Very good experiment worth trying ....

[@Request_2_PANic]

How long did/would it run for, if left running?

[@Anvithgopa]

Can it work in 100 cc engine .plz send me reply

[@utericers5281]

2 stroke with no lubrication? Sounds great

[@tomgeorge3726]

The bypass valve needs to be AFTER the bubbler not before it. When you ignited the excess Hydrogen gas you risked a blow back of flame to the generator tank. The bubbler is there to prevent that.

[@ExperimentalFun]

This bubbler isn't for preventing flashbacks, Its there to filter out the water from the condenser. The steam that comes out of the reaction chamber condenses into water inside the condenser and the bubbler catches that water so that it doesn't get into the carbon filter. The bubbler also causes back pressure and restricts gas flow, I have the bypass valve before it to relieve pressure if the reaction starts getting out of control. If i did have a flashback I think most likely it wouldn't make it past the condenser because it has so much water in it that it acts like a bubbler, but I shouldn't get a flashback in the first place because I wait long enough for any oxygen to be out of the system before I light the gas, I also wear safety protection , but regardless hydrogen is dangerous and so is this reaction in a closed container, this whole setup isn't really safe and I don't recommend anyone try to recreate it, it was just a proof of concept experiment for educational purposes only.

[@borayurt66]

A gasoline engine that can run on hydrogen is the most interesting part of this video for me...

[@pierre5325]

I'm sorry, but, that was just too damn much fun!
