| Abstract | ||||
| The main objectives of this research were to design a small unit for the production of hydrogen gas from water, to rationalize the use of energy needed for the separation of hydrogen. Also determine the water quality for hydrogen production, and test the optimal geometry for producing higher levels of hydrogen gas. The experimental results of hydrogen cells production unit are presented. It is used for electrical analysis of three types of water (tap - acidic - saline). The results obtained showed that the highest production of hydrogen energy was observed with 15 cells number was 5.12 kWh at working time 60 min, distance between cells 0.5 mm, cell temperature 46.7°C and water temperature 56.1°C in the presence of saline water. At same time the lowest hydrogen energy observed with number of cells 15 cells number was 1.788 kWh, working time 15 min, distance between cells 1.5 mm, cell temperature was 30.6°C and water temperature was 29.9°C in the presence of tap water. Total energy was increased by 186.52%, increasing number of cells and lack of distance between cells. | ||||
