Anybody else see this show ??
I was watching the green channel last night about an engineer who has built one of the first hydrogen powered houses. I think the show was eco-planet.
He had about 16 or so large above ground hydrogen tanks, and has a fuel cell/cells that provide electricity to his house. Also powers his car with H.
What was interesting is when he pointed out the H generator.
The generator looked like a Meyers cell but it was not a clear container.
He also had a de-ionizer in front of it which lead me to belive it was a meyers type cell.
On the show he just had one cell that was maybe 8" in diameter
and about 24" high and that was it. He could have had more, but did not show them.
They called it electrolosis, but it was obvious to me there was more to it than that due to the fact that is was the only device making H.
He powered it off solar cells.
Cost was said to be 500K, and a very complicated setup.
Said he had enough H in the tanks to last for a year.
Now I did some rough calcs last year on a similar scenario, IE HHO by solar and I figured you would need about 10-20 meyer sized cells to power a house.
I think this is the guy ??
