The AHA HQ staff here in Phoenix is preparing what we call the AHA 2010-2110 Plan: The Next Generation. Please let us know what your priorities are. What can we do to help you, if anything? Let's get Solar Hydrogen rolling.

I believe the greatest speedbump to achieving the Solar Hydrogen economy is the unavailability of materials to the average person.
For example, after watching Roy's dvd on multi-fuel vehicle conversion I excitedly called up SCI to buy a 5000 psi composite cylinder (Lincoln doesn't sell to individuals trying to convert their own vehicles), but was surprised that instead of only $700 dollars as suggested in the dvd, I would have to spend at least $5,000 for an equivalent cylinder.
Most people, like me, do not have that much money to drop just to do their own experimentation.
A source of materials at a reasonable price could provide a green light for most people that would like to participate in the solar hydrogen economy. I do not doubt that the AHA can buy a cylinder as showed in the dvd for $700, but the average consumer cannot. The AHA could purchase the materials necessary for vehicle conversion at a much lower cost and make them available to others for the same price.
Just my thoughts. I'm new to all this, so feel free to chastise me if I'm wrong lol. |

| jakeying, We all had the same problem starting out. Nobody knew nothing. That's why this forum was created. Parts are often available on eBay, although prices seemed to have skyrocketed. One member I know of ordered a single SCI tank for about $600 by claiming to "work" for the AHA. Your local auto junkyard is a good place to look for compressed natural gas(CNG) parts, many of which will work with hydrogen. Some of us experiment with H2 in a welding cylinder since it's easy to get it filled. About $100 for a used cylinder and $30 for a refill. I'm revising an 'H2 Buyer's Guide', which will list resources for parts, training, tools and publications. Look for it on this forum. |

Hey I am new at this whole hydrogen generator stuff and would like to learn how to make one for household appliances so that i can cut my energy costs down to a minumum if it is at all do able i just need a little bit of guidence if that is possible because i am tired of how this economy is draining everyone of evrything that they have.
I have built one for my car and have gotten a 50% increese in fuel mileage, i was getting 32 mpg and it went up to 48 miles per gallon so i thought that i could build one for houlsehold equipment such as my propane stove and oven and maybe even figure out how to make it work for electronics but every time i try i get stuck on the electronics because I do not have the smarts to do so.
I do believe that if i had some help i could switch all household appliances over to a hydrogen generator.
Thank you and have a good day and GOD BLESS YOU. |
