Weren't you the one, a couple of years ago, that had a cheap efficient wind turbine?

If so, where is it?

If I was to generate hydrogen, which I would love to, I would go fuel cell.

A 20KW fuel cell today would run about 100K USD.

I hear a group at MIT have two (2) cheap compounds of chemicals that can be added to water to significantly reduce that amount of power necessary to split water.

One compound would facilitate generating Hydrogen and another compound Oxygen. Let’s see if the eggheads can commercialized it.

I installed several wind turbines at Cabrera, Rio San Juan, Las Canas etc.
25 more wind turbines in stock at Cabrera, DR. PM me for more info.

A fuel cell cost a fortune. I am testing an electrolyser with KOH. Typical
separation of Hydrogen/Oxygen via electrolysis but based on solar/wind power. The system cost is estimated at approx $2,000 US for a 20-25KW genset.
Apparently, hydrogen injection/mix works very well with propane/CNG since
both fuels are gases. Mixing ratio can reach 50/50% without engine modifications - see Hythane specifications (Google it).
