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 H 2 O 2 Waste Electrolysis Energy Cell Water Electrolyte • Water • Separator • Power Source • Plumbing for Hydrogen • Electrolyte and Oxygen • Electrodes • Waste Stream

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
