Reply to comment by HikeyBoi in I come bringing good news about hydrogen by bearjew64

Yeah you do. I have used a plastic bag to hold the hydrogen I made with my car battery, a glass jar, wire and salt water. That it. Not safe, that’s why I’m looking.

I am not interested in a demonstration, that is well within my means and I have had my fair share of fun igniting hydrogen. I mean I do not have the means to obtain a self sufficient energy grid which uses hydrogen for chemical energy storage. I would need solar or other production capabilities and a battery to make it worthwhile, and then all the hydrogen equipment. And by equipment I mean a somewhat efficient electrolyzer and gas handling systems with a compressor and storage tank. without that stuff, I think it’s more of a demonstration that fire can be made from water.

Yes, that looks like the sort of system I described.

Then I Guess hydrogen is good for making fire from water as you say. There are other systems that already exist and have been around since the 70s but this one looks ready finally.
