Practical Hydrogen Systems: An Experimenters Guide

The author of Build Your Own Fuel Cells, Build Your Own Solar Panel and Build a Solar Hydrogen Fuel Cell System shares the details of his high quality, self-pressurized stainless steel hydrogen generator, and offers valuable insight into components, subsystems and processes involved in the production of hydrogen.

Hurley's innovative small scale system is designed for ease of fabrication and a minimum of components - in versatile modular configurations that make experimenting and customizing easy. This hydrogen-generating system features automatic pressure control, and the book includes complete schematics for the electronic/electromechanical process controller, as well as over 230 other illustrations. 305 pages.
