Global Hydrogen, Inc. announces a newly developed nano-reactor that allows direct control of pure hydrogen production (patent-pending). The reactor is slightly less than 5 cubic centimeters (cc) and has a smaller profile than a standard razor blade, yet the reactor produces hydrogen at a rate of 1.5 cc per minute. The system contains a proprietary nano particle electrolyte and utilizes a newly-invented electrode constructed of low-cost, non-exotic materials.
The pure hydrogen production of the zinc and metal electrode Nano-Reactor, invented by Dr. Linnard Griffin of Global Hydrogen, Inc, is easily controlled. A small switch internally connects the electrodes. The switch closes to start hydrogen production and opens to stop hydrogen production. Hydrogen is developed on the surface of a newly-invented nano-nickel electrode. The nickel electrode gives off hydrogen by reacting to the chemicals when the switch electrically connects the nickel electrode to the zinc electrode. Unique to this design, the Nano-Reactor produces pure hydrogen, whereas standard electrolysis units produce both hydrogen and oxygen.
This Nano-Reactor offers wide appeal to applications where immediate control of hydrogen generation is necessary and electrical power normally needed for electrolysis systems is not available.

In July 2008, Dr. Griffin announced a low-voltage, low-temperature process that produces less expensive hydrogen. Read more about that invention on the Global Hydrogen Web site as well.
