Hydrogen Generators Safety

Using and handling hydrogen presents many dangers, when air and hydrogen is mixed risks of an explosion highly increase because the mixture is highly explosive.

When working with hydrogen generators you mast be very attentive. the room where the hydrogen generator is placed should be very well ventilated, an outdoor zone if possible, and everything must be done to eliminate the risks of explosion and fire around the hydrogen generator.

When using and handling the hydrogen generator incorrectly, it may produce excessive heat and dangerous chemical reactions. For example, if the hydrogen generator is removed from its water tank while it is operating it will overheat and high risks of fire appear. If you wish to remove a hydrogen generator from the water you must wait first for the generation of the hydrogen to stop.

All the equipment on the nitrogen generator should be grounded, to prevent static electrical charges from generating. This can be done connecting the equipment to some copper wires which are planted 3 or 4 feet deep inside the ground. The cooper wires tied to the generator should be placed in such way that the resistance between them is less than 1000 ohms, and if you can't do that, increase the number of wires so that the resistance between them is never more than 1000 ohms.

Also, the grounding stakes of the hydrogen generator should be connected to the water can or to balloon launcher. All the metal parts should be interconnected through grounding wires and they should be cleaned in such way that the bear metal is exposed. Wires and alligator clips can make the job easier.

If the persons who are handling the hydrogen generator are wearing wool or fur, they must be grounded themselves, because these types of clothing may conduct static electricity. This can be done if the people are wearing a wristband connected to the ground through a copper wire.

If taking all these precautions the risks of hazards seriously decrease.
