There are number of projects on mechanical engineering but I am
Benefits:-
These sources are being continuously produced in nature
They are not exhaustible.
These resources are in exhaustible for the next hundreds of
thousands of years.
The sources give energy continuously.
Reduce our dependence on imported fuels
Improve the environment

Literature Review
Hydrogen does not naturally exist in its elemental form on Earth. Pure hydrogen must be
produced from other hydrogen-containing compounds such as fossil fuels, biomass, or
water.
Production from
From hydrocarbons
Steam reforming
Partial oxidation
Coal
From water
From urine
From Hydro carbon
Steam reforming
CH4 + H2O → CO + 3 H2
Gasification
CO + H2O → CO2 + H2
Partial oxidation
Coal
Coal can be converted into syngas and methane, also known as town gas, via
this can be done with a few volts in a simple apparatus like a Hofmann
voltameter
Water spontaneously dissociates at around 2500 C, but this thermolysis occurs
Hydrogen can also be made from urine. Using urine, hydrogen production is 332%
more energy efficient than using water. The research was conducted by Geraldine
Botte from the Ohio University.
Conclusion regarding

using electrolysis process.
Thing which is bothering me
Hydrogen Safety
I have concerned with hydrogen's safety. And with good reason. Hydrogen is a fuel and is
therefore combustible. Its combustion properties deserve the same caution any fuel should be
given (NHA Handling). Hydrogen has been suffering an image problem since the Hindenburg
tragically caught fire and burned in New Jersey in 1937. Hydrogen can be and has been
handled carefully and safely, just like any other inherently dangerous fuel such as gasoline.
Hydrogen tanks have been put through series of demanding safety tests.
A simple demonstration of
Equipment Needed:
A 9-volt battery
Scissors
A glass of water
Salt
First, we need to make the
electric device that will make
the electrolysis happen: get
the 9-volt battery, your wire,
the scissors and tape. Start
stripping the ends of the
wire. You will need two
strands of wire at least six
inches in length. Use the
wire stripper or the scissors
to strip the rubber sheath
from both ends of each wire
with the scissors. This will
expose the wire itself
After you’ve stripped both ends
from both wires, take one wire and
securely tape one stripped metal
end to one terminal of the 9-volt
battery. Next, do the same with the
second wire – tape it to the
remaining battery terminal. The
result will be our electrolysis
device, all ready to go.
The rest is easy:
Get your glass of water. Put a
tablespoon or two of salt into it. Stir
the salt to dissolve it. The water
will become a little cloudy.
Get the electrolysis device. Dip
both ends of the wire into the salt
water.
You will immediately see bubbles start to fizzle
off of one wire. (If you don’t see bubbles, then
check to make sure that your wires have a good
connection to the battery, and that the battery
still holds a charge.) What’s happening here?
when you electrocute water (which is
made of hydrogen and oxygen), the
electricity breaks apart water molecules.
The bubbles you see are the hydrogen from the
water being released. Salt water improves
the electrolysis reaction
Work To Be Done
In the next phase of this project we will try
to design an engineering design for the
electrolysis equipment and then we will
try to store it which can be used for the
various purposes.
The trial generation of hydrogen production
will be also carried in the next phase.
Storage part will be done in the next phase
