Richard devotes much of his time to electrolyzer (what's an electrolyzer?) and fuel cell research and development, among many other things. At the moment, in addition to the electrolyzer project below, he's working on developing low cost catalysts and innovative designs for fuel cells.
Below are two full views showing the power supply (left), multi-meter, and the complete height of the hydrostatic columns:
At the right, you can see the electrode connectors and hydrogen and oxygen gas take-off tubes:
Below: One unique feature of this electrolyzer is the view window that lets you see the cell working. To the left of the view window are blue and white stopcocks that isolate or combine electrolyte flow to the chambers of the electrolyzer.
Right: Another view showing more of the base of the hydrostatic columns and stopcocks.
With the combination of the view window, multi-meter, and temperature gauges, Richard's design is excellent for studying the process of electrolysis. He's using it to further improve his electrolyzer designs, and hopes that these photos will inspire other experimenters to work on hydrogen projects.
We'll be posting more photos of his projects as they become available.
