i am planing on making a home made fuel cell for my truck to get uncle sam out the wallet and i would appreciate some help. first does the oxygen go into the carburator when runing a fuel cell or is it all hydrogen. second what is the bubbling process and how do i do it. third is it as simple as to put the negative and positive with a couple of stainless steal plates in water and straight to the carburator i know there are regulators involved but what am i regulating. How much power for a 5.6 liter v8 truck i will need .finally what is the purpse of a dc pulse circut.
Slow down man, that's a mighty big leap. What I recommend you do is build a series hybrid, which means converting the truck to electric vehicle and then building a small generator that recharges the batteries while you drive. That way you can get 100hp on-demand from the battery pack, and the generator can be smaller, 10-20hp. Then the generator can be ANYTHING, for instance a Honda generator or Thermo King diesel, and you can swap it for a hydrogen fuel cell once you get all that stuff worked out. A truck can suck a lot of power when you step on the gas. You don't want to make the fuel cell so big that it can satisfy all that, that's what batteries are for.
Yes u could build a fuel cell that could supply enough hydrogen for that big a motor u should build it on a trailer with a spare generator for power . Oh hydrogen is a very explosive material and the atom is so small it will leak through almost any thing. so be careful it could be dangerous.
gas cellular vehicles will in all probability be out quicker. no could desire to have organic hydrogen in storage. some gas cells can chop up the hydrogen off of certainly available hydrocarbons like methane or LPG. because gas cells are better than two times as effective as inner combustion engines people will ask your self how we ever have been given alongside with basically having a 4 hundred or so mile selection in the previous having to refuel.
You cannot be serious. This is a spoof question I hope. If you actually try to build and operate the device that you describe you will blow yourself up. In that case I hope you have very good medical insurance and a very good funeral plan. Also, if you do build this device as you have described it, I recommend that you write your will or update it if you already have a will.
