FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How is hydrogen stored?
Q:
A:
The hydrogen is stored in small cartridges (HYDROSTIK) at low pressure. When refueling, hydrogen gas is sent
at high pressure into the cartridge, and the gas is adsorbed onto the surface area of a special metal alloy which
is contained inside the cartridges, becoming a solid (hydride). This is the safest form of hydrogen storage since
it is not stored at high pressure. When connected to the fuel cell, the small hydrogen tanks slowly releases
hydrogen using a heat exchange process with the ambient temperature.
Q:
A:
All you need to do is add water into the tank, connect the AC-DC adapter and the empty HYDROSTIK cartridge.
The HYDROFILL will split oxygen and hydrogen from water, sending hydrogen into your HYDROSTIK cartridge. It
will take 4-6 hours to fully fill a HYDROSTIK Cartridge.
Q:
What is the purity level for hydrogen produced by the HYDROFILL?
A:
The purity of hydrogen produced by the HYDROFILL is 99.9% under room temperature. The metal hydrides
contained in the cartridges first adsorb hydrogen, then releases it at a high purity (99.999%) into the fuel cell.
Q:
What is the system recovery pouch and what does it contain?
A:
The powder contained inside the system recovery pouch is apple acid. Metal ions will strongly affect and
consume.
Is it possible to produce renewable hydrogen fuel using solar or wind power?
Q:
A:
Yes. The HYDROFILL uses a DC power input and a solar power accessory can be adapted to the HYDROFILL to
