Spicer Electrolyzer: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:47, 1 August 2021

12 Cell from Solar Hydrogen Chronicles produces 0.5 cu ft/hr for each cell, or 6 cu ft/hr. Power of 1 kW, and cost of $2300 for the electolyzer stack of 12 units.
How does this compare to 5* 500 cc/min? 2500 cc/min = 5.3 cu ft/hr. Comparable.
But the Spicer electrolyzer is much cheaper - at $2300 compared to $3100.
The Spicer electrolyzer is probably doable for $100/cell.
Thus, the $10k per 1 kg/day can be brought down to $3k per kg/day production rate at the small scale.
And, better at a larger scale.

Thus, it is safe to say that $3k gets us to 1 kg hydrogen per day or 1 gge.

If 1 gge is $3, then it takes 1000 days for payback time to be achieved. 3 year payback. That is pretty good, and should be pursued.
