Michael Strizki's Fantastic Solar Hydrogen Home

www.homemadepow... In 2006, Mike took his home off of the electrical power grid. Ever since, he has been generating his own electricity. All of Mike's electrical power comes from solar energy. He usually generates 160 percent more energy than he needs to power his home. Mike isn't likely to sell his power to the grid. Instead, Mike uses the excess electrical power to make hydrogen, which he stores in tanks, to run his car on. Mike has proven that it is possible for you to power your home and car from solar power.

My hero. Now I just need to win the lottery so I can set something like this up.

[@Bubblytubebob]

I don't need a 3 month supply of Hydrogen . 2 weeks is way more than enough to power backup generator. Just 1 Tank is plenty . ! don't need a fuel cell either I can burn hydrogen in my generac 8KW generator. That right there is a $50,000.00 saving. I got the panels and the tank and inverters and the batteries . The only thing holding me back is an electrolizer, which I have under construction at present. So I am within range of doing this thing on the cheap and be almost as good as your's is

His stuff was 1/4 million dollars including the geothermal. I don't think paying the electric bill was a consideration. Heating and cooling would have been $600/yr as he said in the video. He could have paid the electric bill for 400 years and still made out cheaper.

[@moonmagnolia7]

My electric/gas bill combined can be > $600/month, especially in the coldest and hottest months of the year, and I keep it cold in the winter and hot in the summer. I had the highest recommended insulation installed for our area, but wish I’d gone higher.

Plus, 15 years later, Mike doesn't have that tiny 10kW solar array anymore. It was way too small. It's almost 3 times the size now. He still has the 10 - 1,000 gallon propane tanks though.

[@MrJuuustin28532]

Technology available for anyone with the will to learn the knowledge and the ingenuity to build their own system. There is literally over a 1000 different diy proof of conscept videos showing how to build each one of these systems for individual use which would cut costs down quite a bit. I don't think the cost is the issue as much as it is inspiring the next generation to lean towards engineering and designing their own homes. I'd like to see the hydrogen generator storage tanks incorperated into a cold storage/vacume space as liquid hydrogen.

[@kelvinlawrence426]

Great setup buddy

[@vironpayne3405]

Given the falling price of PV it would probably be more economical to displace some the hydrogen storage with PV panels. The winter still has PV power available, but then the summer excess would really skyrocket? Setup an EV charging station and sell the electricity. As most neighbors would be charging at night that would require hydrogen or battery storage.

[@perry2281]

Wow lots of tanks.

[@SolarizeYourLife]

How much hydrogen do you lose out of those containers? Since they are designed to hold propane not hyrdrogen which needs a special tank.

[@wanderingzanzey2126]

hydrogen exchange between the stainless steel alloy tanks would be consierably less than 1%, in a molybendum carbon steel even less than 0.01% due to the tight metal lattice. Actually in Metal Hydride containers the overall hydrogen escape is less than 0.001% and they only use aluminium as the container (higher end canisters use carbon steel/or molybendum steel or aluminium wrapped carbon fiber) The decrease in hydrogen exchange is primarily due to the nature of the metal hydride reaction, however carbon steel is a material that is typically used in Hydrogen storage whether it be gas or liquid. This loss in hydrogen, even at the highest value of 1% is still lower than the self discharge rate for most commercial electrochemical storage systems.

[@ShalomYal]

Way cool - only with pioneers like you will we have a sustainable future!! Even with just his super-insulated house and the geothermal heat/cool he would easily be using 50% or more less than the average home. Then he could just use the solar to save a bit more. He'd be at 75% or more in savings. All the H production - storage and fuel cell are mostly just fun toys for him.

Thanks and good luck to you sir

[@warlockboyburns]

Would solar power that powers hydrogen generators that create electricity be enviro-friendly?

[@Jkirk3279]

Yes, obviously. The problem being storing the H2. There’s a magic trick, called a bacterial fuel cell. First, get garbage. Mix with dirt, add electrodes, cover with rubber sheet. Feed in 1.3 volts DC. The soil bacteria go nuts digesting the garbage and they give off H2. That collects under the rubber sheet. The hydrogen comes from the garbage. You can generate about a cubic meter of hydrogen an hour, IIRC. Feed that to a fuel cell when you need power. When you don’t need power, shut off the DC current.

When i see the tanks an machinery you need i would guess you had to pay a lot more than 100.000 USD for the equipment, and some more for installation and safety measures? Why dont you collect the oxygen as well and sell it to the industry or use it for welding e.g. ? How pure is h2 and o2?

The dream

[@PeterPete]

It's ok doing all this but one never tells anyone of the total costs involved. The narrator tells that the home was quite expensive to build but like how much? How much did the hydrogen tanks cost? How much did the hydrogen fuel cell cost? How much did the ground source heat pump cost? How much did the piping cost for the ground source heat pump? How much did all the piping, fittings and meters cost? How much did the electrolyser cost? How much did the solar panels cost? How much did all the batteries cost? Furthermore how much does it cost to maintain everything? Probably the same amount as if he was connected to the mains. Btw, every home should be without a TV let alone a large widescreen one!!!

[@scottkolaya2110]

Oh, he's connected to the mains too. He's not truly off-grid. The tanks he uses are standard low pressure 1000 gallon propane tanks, about $3,000 each and he's got 10. I've priced up a system like this, about $200k in parts not counting the geothermal. A mile of thick wall copper tubing. lol. Everyone uses plastic for geothermal, not as efficient, but they're not spending $15k for the tubing alone. His 10kW system was way too small to cover his needs. He says he runs 28kW now and has replaced all the batteries. But if you look at all the panels from google satellite, it seems way more, maybe because a lot of them are old. He's got 70 panels on the roof now with an extension and ground arrays everywhere.

[@PeterPete]

In other words, he's got an expensive hobby 👍@@scottkolaya2110

[@ralorpa]

Lot of criticism here, but the guy made an overkill system (like its his hobby also). The house and his "garage" was not the smallest one I've seen... :) If he has 3,5 months of energy storage, its overkill. And eh...who would not want that...

[@scottkolaya2110]

It's not really overkill to store 3.5 months of energy. Mike lives near me. Actually almost 4 hrs south. We get very little solar from the beginning of Nov through end of Feb and high heating requirements. Not only is the days really short, it's cloudy most days. In the summer we have loads of sunlight because of really long days. I don't heat with solar, just general electricity needs and I carry over 20% of my yearly output from month to month in the winter because I'm on a net metering plan. If I heated with solar, I'd need to carry over a much bigger percentage from the summer. I agree his setup is a little overkill, but storing 3.5 months isn't. For example, I generated 1.5MWh in May this year and 0.2MWh in Jan.

4:50 That's just BS. I have a "conventional system" on the same size house with average insulation and spend $1200/yr in 2022. So he's saving $600/yr at best and spent $15,000 on the "mile of thick wall copper tubing" alone. Simple, that's $15,000/$600, or 25 years to pay off just the cost of the tubing.

[@tonyk3728]

Hello, So is all the hydrogen stored in 10 1000 ltrs tanks only the same as 40 ltrs of gasoline? Could this gas be compressed to hold more in less tanks? Many thanks for sharing.

It looks like he’s already compressing it. There’s a process to turn H2 into Methane and then Methanol. It’s called the “Fischer Tropsch” process. The catalyst for methane is simple rust.

[@thedeadnigerianprincehaunt5096]

John Benton hopefully you were joking. If you happened to catch the end of the video, it was said he couldn't have done it without a public grant (people's tax money) and donations from private green energy companies. The video shows his large lot of land, multi-story home, large barn, tank storage area, over a mile of buried copper thermal tubing, several vehicles, a speedboat, ATV buggy & a bigcreen TV he said everyone can't live without... just to mention a few of his life's perks! Don't know about you but, If someone who's got a homestead "compound" and cash for all of that other stuff, I got to ask why is he getting taxpayer grants, media praise and corporate donations??!!! Can't be just to have the excess energy to sit on his Ass, grow man-boobs in cool comfort while watching reruns of himself (on his bigscreen) feeding the world a line of bull that he is helping the environment and not putting a burden on anyone, could it? (I think I even heard a tree gasp for a breath when he said he's "helping" the environment by venting oxygen! Lol, what a phoney! If he really wanted to help anything other than his own curiosity and lifestyle then he would at least bottle the oxygen for free so at least 1 former asbestos worker living on SSD with a portable medical oxygen tank could save a $ too. Why not do that? something another grant wouldn't pay for? Maybe, because it might take 1 more valve, hose, compressor, filter and a few dollars more in insurance to give it to someone who'd really appreciate it, that's why! Don't let the guy in the video fool you, he isn't saving anyone, anything or any money(at least not the taxpayers or other market consumers money). Today, right now and for a long time to come.... he's the problem, not the solution. Also, if you didn't notice, one thing the video did not happen to mention nor show while praising this guy's big-green-pipe-dream was the large majority of the world who (like him) could never afford it on their own dime without the taxpayers (who couldn't afford continued grants to give everyone else the ability to build such monstrosities) nor did it mention the green companies that have already donated themselves out of business or folded due to the facts not fitting their fancy. Nope, the video didn't show or mention those who don't have the available space in their small home, their trailer park lot, their 2 bedroom city townhouse rental, their 1 bedroom apartment, their mud hut nor did it show the homeless in their cardboard box who do not have even 1/20th of the space for what would be needed to do the same thing for themselves any time in the conceivable future. How does that scientifically green future look again on second glance?? Not everyone can afford to distract and delude themselves to such degrees of superficial, green-tech saintlyhood as the guy in the video but dang, when some like him can, the bigger shame is that they get other people to bow in awe to their follies instead of calling them out for their wasteful way of existing in the world on other people's money and off the misguided hopes the sheeple have for themselves to be like him someday.

If mike shared a open source design and share his knowledge freely....hydrogen storage would be adopted to the off grid community with less obsticals.

[@scottkolaya2110]

The biggest obstacle people run into regarding hydrogen is the amount of money leaving their wallet, not the knowledge. Mike's setup is around $250k in parts alone. Off-grid battery electric is so much cheaper and requires so much less real estate, no one's interested in hydrogen anymore since battery storage has gotten much cheaper in the last 15 years since this has been produced. Almost all off-grid setups today, just use LFP batteries and burn wood for heat for 1/10th the price. And in the end, he's actually grid connected. He turns the electrolyzer on and off by hand without worrying if the sun is out or not or if the batteries are charged or not because it won't loose power. You can see for yourself, he rents the house out on airbnb for $743/night. All his ratings say he's a fantastic host.

[@BillFromTheHill100]

Sooooo expensive.

[@scocassovegetus]

10 1000gal tanks? Why so many? Can't hydrogen be compressed to take up less space?

[@scottkolaya2110]

It can, but the tanks to contain it get exponentially more expensive. These tanks were only $30k in today's dollars. If he stored the same 42kg of H2 at 5,000 PSI instead of 200, the tanks alone would be well over $100,000, plus you need the compressors and possibly conform to some more regulations. H2 filling stations in CA have this much H2 stored as a gas and cost about a million dollars to install, but that includes the dispensing pump too.

While you deserve to be recognized for your achievements, this is not practical for the average home owner today.

+phillip harden yeah but still. how do you think he got here in the first place? it may have taken him years to make this work the way it works now. and i would think he would have to have a really good knowledge base to maintain such a thing. i hope he teaches his own kids how this possess works. because this is the way to become truly self sufficient of the grid. however i got the feeling that in the near future water will become really expensive because it will be controlled by the powers that provide it to the population. have you noticed that in some places that it is illegal to collect rain water? why do you think the government would do this? because its there way to control the people. perhaps this guy should find a way to collect his water he get's for the winter or start collecting in a underground facility so when it does become expensive. he has something to draw from that is not controlled. or even dig for a spring.

You have a valid point and its true that many Americans have a lot of space to put all the kit but lets face it the average home is exactly that, very 'average'. His project serve's as an inspiration or knowledge base for others to work from, so difficult to argue against that. Another thing that needs to change is people's mentality to spending on energy, in Britain many people don't think twice about spending anything between 10 and 100 k on a car, new extension on their house, kitchens, bathrooms, holidays none of which they expect to see their money back on, so whats with the satanic brainwashing that that revolves around renewables that everybody has to see their money back meanwhile lung disease from pollution is sky rocketing. Consider these words as regards understanding and ask yourself where you think the world is at, deception, misconception, preconception, conception.

Right , how much is one of those propane tanks ? Maybe his grandkids will see a return on the cost . As for me , i am only interested in saving money .

Imagine the cost of that system....stunning ,but not addressed is the notion of cutting consumption...this is an inspiration ,for sure , I'm hoping to convert my 600 sq.ft house to this system ,using only 1 kw solar panels,using some for HHO ,but mostly just lighting. To try to store hydrogen seems excessive ,and batteries are difficult,still working on that....the last problem is heat ,in winter here there's not enough sun to actually HEAT even my R 40+ little house,but probably a mass heater (think Russian stove/rocket stove...burn twigs and scrap.....for the clean burn and low fuel....anyway ,if you're renting ,oh well...but if you own ,and are willing to keep looking ,there's a HUGE amnt. of research available here on u tube....it's doable , i believe ,but i'm kind of outlaw (permits?) I keep remembering that one can be COMFORTABLE in an R V ,and use 10% as much power...it's just a thought/suggestion. 12 volts is plenty for damn near everything....with small propane on demand water heater...as it is ,i boil water ,but hope springs eternal in the human boob ,the luxury of hot water is coming soon.................drop out and join the real world.. .IT'S WORTH IT ! PEACE
