How to Make a Simple Oxygen and Hydrogen Fuel Cell from Water Using Electrolysis

  • Fill a small glass jar about 3/4 full of water.
  • Dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in the water.  The baking soda will help conduct the electricity through the water.
  • Put a thin piece of cardboard over the opening of the jar. 
  • Insert into the cardboard 2 thin electrical wires about 2 inches apart in a manner such that one end of each of the wires is submerged 2 to 3 inches.
  • Wrap the other ends of the wires around the positive and negative terminals of a 9-volt battery.  Bubbles will soon begin to accumulate on the submerged ends of the wires.  Hydrogen gas on the negative wire and oxygen on the positive wire.
  • CAUTION:  Hydrogen and Oxygen are extremely explosive.  Do not trap it for a period of time, and then ignite it.  If you are determined to ignite to prove its existence, protect yourself from the loud noise and possible explosion.
In today's world many creative minds have launched forth in the effort to generate hydrogen from water as fuel assist devices.  They are making great strides in perfecting "fuel cell" technology using either alkaline electrolysis, or PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolysis.  Web research into PEM fuel cells will invariably produce information regarding the fuel cell that generates electricity from hydrogen.  Many are realizing that to reverse the process of input hydrogen, output electricity, generates hydrogen from electricity.  This requires a more sophisticated Anode and Cathode than in the simple "glass Jar" fuel cell explained above.  Hydrogen and oxygen production can be increased through stacking of a number of electrolysis cell plates.  These plates can be and have been designed in multiple geometric configurations,(circles, rectangles, octagons, triangles, etc.) in an effort to create the most efficient hydrogen producing fuel cell.  Also, many different types of metals have been used for these plates. 

If you are designing and prototyping your own Hydrogen Fuel Cell, or in full production, Wet Jet Precision, is the job shop of choice.  We require no minimum order, and our turnaround time is exceptional.  We can do the CAD work from a drawing, or you can submit your own CAD files.  Wet Jet Precision  will safeguard your proprietary designs, and if you desire, we will sign non-disclosure agreements.  Call today for quotes.

If, on the other hand, you are only looking to purchase a good robust fuel cell, consider contacting our customer, H2-O Performance.  They are good people, and have a good hydrogen fuel cell.
