Hydrogen: how to produce it ,store it and run engine???

[Voltaire]

The hydrogen can be fed directly into the intake manifold. If you have a car computer then the air ration has to be adjusted. One kilogram of hydrogen replaces about 2 to 3 kilograms of diesel/petrol.

Keep going guys. This is the future

Storage:
Run the electrolysis cell at high pressure and store the gas directly under high pressure. To compress H2 later is costly and difficult. Use """""steel container"""" such as hydrogen cylinder from your local gas supply company. Hydrogen is extremely flammable and explosive. Read the MSDS and make sure you work with the correct safety equipment and that you work safely. Do not take any chances...hydrogen is not for rookies. Ask your professor to help you and talk to petrochem engineers in your area BEFORE you start out.
Do a HAZOP and make sure you have everything checked off. Make sure your local council does not have by-laws that you have to conform to and make sure you stick to those. Find out what is the maximum amount of hydrogen you may keep and stay within the regulation, especially with regards to the storage location and storage conditions.

Hydrogen can and will kill you. It can be a long and agonizing death. Remember: safety first!

Is steel cylinder is safe???
In my knowledge hydrogen react with carbon in the steel is it correct ???
and steel is nothing but iron & carbon alloy

(maybe metal is better?). You refer to effects that are peculiar to hydrogen. A short survey of the Internet will tell you most of what you need to know. Your gas company has type K cylinders suitable for hydrogen storage. They are red in color and typically contain (from memory) about one kilogram of high pressure H₂. They are typically made of Mn-Cr-Mo alloy.


Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) and Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) are the two major causes for failures. SCC fails catastrophically (see Flixborough disaster)
