Love this channel, and I will agree with the other who have commented on your improvement in English. No need for voice overs, your English is quite good!
Petrochemicals have many uses other than making gasoline, diesel and other types of fuels. I'm a big advocate for hydrogen for a fuel source and with the help of solar power to provide the energy to create hydrogen by fracturing water makes it less costly over time to produce fuel cell hydrogen.
The idea of hydrogen fuel cells isn't new. The problem is transportation of hydrogen. It is the smallest molecule, hence it penetrates every polymer (so far) and thus is unable to be transportet. Just think of a balloon filled with helium, it won't hold it for a very long time.
The Oil Industry is so paranoid about this "renewable energy" it would be easier just to "Doc Brown" their asses for $100million. They would be so happy that the device is a phony, they wouldn't worry about ya anymore, cause luckily any type of corporate embarrassment is worth Billions to not give it a second thought. xD

@Punchy the vehicles already exist (hyundai and toyota are really pushing it with the Hyundai Nexo and Toyota Mirai) and have for some time now but the city conversions are still going, as for production, its hard to say but I would definitely guess its from natural gas reformation as thats the most common way of mass producing it.
@Punchy I just looked up their current plans, they plan on using petrochemical hydrogen (so the original way they mass produced Hydrogen from fossil fuels) and then once the infastructure is in place and proven to then make it carbon neutral. pretty cool and if it works it will definitely put the push on other countries to add hydrogen pumps at fuel stations or other stations

Hydrogen may make a marginally acceptable energy storage medium, but it it not an energy source. There is no free H2 available on this planet, it all has to be produced. Electrolysis for H2 production is very inefficient. Most H2 used today is produced by steam reformation of methane, which also produces a lot of CO2.
@@fredsasse9973 Fred....what do you think of using Hydrogen fuel cells to store energy?...between solar, wind, hydro....it dies not seem that creating the energy is the issue..Storing it, however? If we used the renewable sources to do the electrolysis, would using H.F.C.'s as storage mediums then be sufficiently efficient? I guess it does not matter, if there is still limited amounts of raw materials, to construct batteries or fuel cells
@@davidwalker8754 I don't think you can store hydrogen in a fuel cell, rather the fuel cell uses hydrogen to produce electricity. The hydrogen that a fuel cell uses has to be stored in some other fashion (like in a pressurized tank). In any event, I think using the energy produced by wind, solar, etc. to produce hydrogen (i.e. through electrolysis) is a huge waste of energy (you never get back anywhere near the energy you expend to make hydrogen through conversion via a fuel cell). It's better to store the wind & solar energy in some other fashion.

Hey there Thoisoi. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make your videos in English to teach us awesome and entertaining things about science. I know it isnt your first language and english can be hard to learn, so I really wanted to take the time to thank you. Its not appreciated enough.
Ethylene glycol fuel cells have one main benefit over HFC's in using liquid fuel, but also have additional benefits like being more efficient, and using cheaper catalysts.
1969, my Science Fair project was on using CO from auto exhaust as fuel for cell. Platinum got poisoned too quickly, though by the CO and CO2. I didn’t have knowledge or technology to reach temperatures high enough. Anyway, really cool. Appreciate you and your channel.

Reading the other comments here. Your English language and vocabulary is excellent. And that accent, is possibly the finest accent for science videos we could ever hope for
I used to work in a 3 MW chlor-alkali plant using 160 - 1 meter x 1 meter Nafion 969 membranes to produce ~40, 000 gallons (151,200 liters) per day of 15% wt. NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite). We turned salt water into bleach/pool shock. The basic cell was anode-nafion membrane -cathode (we ran 2x60 in series and one 40 stack). One one side of the membrane you would produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas. On the other a saturated heated brine solution, which would get chlorinated and lower pH to 4.5. The liquid sodium hydroxide would overflow into a reactor and the produced chlorine gas would be bubbled through the cooled solution, absorbing it, and producing NaOCl---> bleach. Which would be used for bleach, pool, shock and water treatment. Interesting project. Think it was bought up by Siemens! Under the patent Chloromat!!!
Very informative. You’ve gone down the rabbit hole to be very educational. Just watched a Mirai owner who said it only gets 238 mi per fill- up & claims 330 mi. Thanks!
LOL in Europe here are some cars already using hidrogen and a contract between countries to make about 100 fuel stations in the next few years. So this will be the next generation of energy
Ok so I just started watching the first video I've seen from your channel ( "Tin - A metal that destroys itself" ), and you used the Citadel's alarm bell sound from Half-Life 2 for the warning. I have no idea who you are, or how good your videos are, but I am genuinely required to subscribe to you just for using that sound because it's probably my favorite one in the entire game. I'm commenting this on your most recent video in hopes that you'll see it and/or respond in some way.
Even if your English doesn't sound near native, it's still quite understandable and gives personality to your channel. In my opinion, keep it up as it is.
I think this is not really possible to practically DIY - but your video is a very good demonstration of how the principle works. I have wondered about the possibility of using hydrogen for energy-buffering solar and wind power plants. It seems like it has great benefits in terms of being very cheap to expand as much as you need. The fuel cells will be expensive - but storing gas is cheap in simple containers. The best solution might be to have a smaller buffer of high-efficiency batteries to cover expected daily variations + hydrogen storage for storage of longer surplus and emergency use when for example extreme weather events happen. It seems like such variable-output power plants would be naturally well suited to also be hydrogen/oxygen production. There is always going to be times where you have surplus in that kind of system - and it is better to cheaply store this surplus (electrolysis equipment is simple) than let it go to waste, even if the efficiency is not so great if you want to convert it back to electricity again.
Man I love you soo much! I don't know what but I have been watching your videos from 2019 and I have watched your whole series of elements! And man! I love your voice and your face! You look cute and friendly!
[I didn't mean to leave 3 comments] The main problem with PEM (Proton Exchange Membranes) is that they self destruct over time. One of my instructors worked for Ballard Fuel Cells (a 5 minute drive from my home) making a new type of PEM. Six months work on his PhD produced 9g of powder. PEM fuel cells form Ozone from oxygen within the chemical/electrical structure of the PEM polymer. The ozone then attacks the bonds of the polymer. To the current date (Jan 2021) Ballard, and by extension Honda have not been able to overcome this problem. The research I was doing to improve Fuel Cells was merrily bought up by Exxon Mobil and put on the back shelf to collect dust. Thanks Big Oil you fux!
The first part sounds interesting, the second part sounds like utter nonsens. Why should "Big Oil" hide a technology wich could ensure their existens via enabling the mass use of hydrogen fuel cells and therefor the mass usage of hydrogen, of wich the bulk of the production still consists of methan reformation (and we all know who is providing said methan)?
@@mandernachluca3774 Fair enough. I know for a fact the business was bought out by Exxon Mobil and employees, such as myself, had the option to convert shares. As to what exactly EM is doing with the research now is of course beyond my knowledge. The process as far as we had taken it was still considered parasitic to the energy output of the fuel cell. I should mention that the system I was working on was an add-on to a fuel cell and not the primary stack itself. We were working on the 'fuel' side of the issue. We looked at medical oxygen production and did side work on methane separation and hydrogen purification equipment as well. I would like to believe that corporations have the best interests for humanity when it comes to alternative energy research however I fear it might not be so. Your point about oil being a source of hydrogen is of course correct. I can put 20 kg of hydrogen (bound up in gasoline) in my car and transport it around safely. A high pressure hydrogen tank can contain about 1-2 kg of hydrogen in a very dangerous form (highly pressurized) in a very expensive tank. The 'Green' future for transportation that I envision is electric vehicles powered by supercapacitors charged with electricity produced by fusion reactors. Should be 10 years away....
Nice experiment! You mentioned green hydrogen... Maybe photolysis and artificial leaves tells you something? It would be great to see an experiment on this! The only TH-cam videos on this topic are from industries only showing the final product.
It is quite easy to convert a hydrogen fuel cell into a rechargeable battery by removing the platinum and filling the cell with a saturated salt water solution. Charging the battery will electrolyze the NaCl into sodium hydroxide on one side and HCl on the other. The two chemicals can convert back into salt water by passing a proton through the Nafion membrane and an electron through the circuit. It is far more energy dense than hydrogen gas at atmospheric pressure and needs no expensive catalyst. You just have to make sure that the housing and electrodes can handle such strong chemicals.
Love the Video. You should investigate, methanol Fuel cells, they are not well known, but apperently they are not as expensive to produce as hydrogen versions. Best Wishes
At one point you mentioned 'practically free energy' I recall in the UK as nuclear power came online from Calder Hall, the government promised "a supply of electricity too cheap to meter" Promises promises turn to rust. Of course calderhall was used for more nefarious reasons...

Please say "there's no way out, Mr bond. You are going to die here"
But really, awesome video. Please don't stop making them.
Thanks for the very interesting upload! Stay as you are! Your channel is a youtube classic.
Very good. 10/10 !
Outstanding research
Your voice is amazing I gotta watch this again
Love the way you explain
Great informative video again. Well done
At one point you mentioned 'practically free energy' I recall in the UK as nuclear power came online from Calder Hall, the government promised "a supply of electricity too cheap to meter"
Promises promises turn to rust.
Of course calderhall was used for more nefarious reasons...
Great. Please make more videos on the electrochemistry wonders.
Awesome stuff! Where can I buy some of the nickel sponge sheet or is it called something else?
After long time we are seeing a new video and his face for 1st time
He has already been showing his face in the mercury video from last month, you should watch it, it's a very interesting one!
@@madmaximum875 I think, I had missed
Could you tell me what the increased efficiency is using nickel sponge plated with platinum ????? How about using titanium or stainless steel ???? Thanks and peace
Thank you for the experiment.
Now this video has subtitile, you can't imagine my pleasure ^^ ! Tksm
