About Hydrogen

Just today my hydrogen generator came in, and i intend to update this thread with my findings later on.
Good or bad, if any.

The potential utilizations of hydrogen as a promising therapeutic strategy against ocular diseases (having various eye ailments this is what i'm particularly interested in):

Fascinating!

I will check the links when I can (internet is barely registering where I work) but I'm already very interested to see where this goes!

Wow, thanks! That video is a gas!

Hydrogen gas in cancer treatment: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fonc.2019.00696/full
This aspect is also being studied in at least one hospital in the Netherlands.

My hydrogen generator as it came in (cost: 50 euro including shipping within the Netherlands)
It produces 800-1200 PPB (Parts Per Billion) of hydrogen gas with 4 Watt of electrolytic power, while the glass can contain 450 ml of water.
(mineral water is recommended, at the moment i still use tap water)
With rechargeable stainless steel base where the electrolysis takes place, a thick borosilicate glass midsection, and a stainless steel lid:

This plastic part can be screwed directly on the business end, filled with water, and is then used to attach a nasal tube for inhaling of the hydrogen gas.
It also doubles for direct attachment of a prefilled spring water bottle:

I hope you have positive results

Cool, you can make fuel for your own RS-68 rocket engine

The company I work for is just starting to look at moving to hydrogen fired reheater furnaces in the coming years. If they do they will need a lot better management of it than they do with their current gas. It will be 5 to 10 years away yet though. As the DSEAR manager for the site I don't look forward to having large hydrogen generators and/or storage tanks here knowing how poorly they look after our current gas system.

I can only imagine....

That is a great looking setup. Most hydrogen electrolysis systems I have encountered have been home made, generally as an experiment or a way to have a bit of fun. It honestly never occurred to me that there would be commercially available equipment on that scale.

I can only imagine the level of care that has to go into developing a product like that for sale to the public- the QA would have to be pretty intense. You certainly wouldn't want the machine sparking or shorting even a little bit!

Thank you for sharing your experiences on this road with us. I am absolutely fascinated to see where this goes.

Update: after several months of using the hydrogen generator several times a day both me and my wife did not notice any health effects, be it good or bad.
The LED's changing color when in operation sure does look nice in the evening though,

Live and learn.

It reminds me of the watercooling reservoir in my PC... If this is no good for health effect, perhaps you could repurpose it along such lines for PC performance improvement?
