Problem Statement

With ever-changing energy costs, fossil fuels polluting the environment and few viable alternative energy sources available, an affordable wind to hydrogen energy product is

• needed. Exploring the possible integration of

wind to hydrogen through electrolysis will provide homeowners and businesses the ability to produce and store clean energy.

Electrolyzer Components

• Water
• Power Source
• Electrolyte
• Electrodes
• Separator
• Plumbing for Hydrogen

and Oxygen

• Waste Stream

Electrolysis Cell Waste O2 H2 Electrolyte Water Energy

Prototype Testing

• Surface Area Test

– Plate – Mesh – Dutch Weave Wire Cloth

• Electrode and Electrolyte Test
• Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) Test

Cost Effective and Efficient

• Final recommendation will be based on

– Benefit/Cost Analysis of each test – Efficiency – Amount and purity of hydrogen produced
