A 6 x 6m floating platform
Above water, 10 research lines, each has:
- Solar panel produce electricity, connected to a charge controller board
- Water electrolysis Device that breaks water into oxygen and hydrogen
- Hydrogen balloon to store hydrogen
Underwater, oxygen bubbles are pumped to improve water quality
We measure
- The voltage coming out of the solar panel (volts)
- The temperature in the electrolysis tank (degrees celcius)
- The weight of the hydrogen balloon (grams)
The website shares data in real time
- Webcam video feed
- Weather station data [INPUT]
- The teams profile
- [OUTPUT] The chemistry of the catalyst (list of components)
- Hydrogen production volume (liters / kgs)
- The power that feeds the electrolysis machine (volts)
- The temperature of the electrolysis machine (Temperature in Celsius)
Every week, the teams improve the chemical mix and measure the hydrogen production
