Özet
© 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbHHerein, new prototypes of a dry cell and an H2 generator are designed to produce hydrogen and HHO (oxyhydrogen) gas, and the effect of a magnetic field on both systems is examined. Experiments are conducted in both systems; a 3.5% potassium hydroxide electrolyte is chosen because it is an alkaline type of solution with a high dissociation rate. NdFeB magnets with magnetic fluxes of 1.2 and 1.6 T are added to both systems to reveal the effect of the Lorentz force on gas production. The flow rates of HHO gas in the productions under 1.2 and 1.6 T in the HHO system are 680 and 730 ml min−1, respectively. These values show that the flow velocities were 15.4% (1.2 T) and 23% (1.6 T) greater, respectively than the values recorded without a magnetic field (MF). Additionally, the percentage of hydrogen production increased by 4% for 1.2 T and 11% for 1.6 T compared to the measured value without the MF. In addition, production costs are calculated for both systems in the study: the energy required to obtain the same flow rate as the comparison examples in the literature was lower.
