All I'm after is a quick-and-dirty method to create methane from Brown's Gas; that's all folks! . . . . . Mac

EgadsNo Using the Fischer-Tropsch process is out! Not interested in the Sabateur process either for the same reason, namely high heat (like 500*F-plus). Just after a simple way to get 'er done and that may be nothing more than a pipe dream, but I thought I'd toss it out to see if I got any...

RocketSci5KN I like your name. My second son is actually a true "rocket scientist". He's a Ph.D. aeronautical engineer. Hydrogen is too hard to contain as well as too hard to control when burning with a naturally-aspirated flame like on a stove. The only easy way to contain it is under...

Does anyone have a quick and dirty method to make methane from pure hydrogen? Background: I am new here, but a regular at TheBackshed.com, where most of us design and build wind turbines and alternators. When a 'windmill' generates more electricity than its system can handle, the overage is...

Point taken; I'm new here. I tried to start what I thought was a new thread, but as it turned out, it attach to this one. I think if you'll read my initial post, it was written from the point of view that I couldn't hop onto an existing thread; thinking I was starting my own thread, I...

What part of "economy is not part of this" don't you get? I don't give two hoots about economy or feasibility or anything like that. All I'm after is a quick and dirty way to go from hydrogen gas to methane. That's it! I originally intended this to be less complicated than your hairdo...

True; I've got a shopping bag full! No biggie. . . . . . Mac

Borek We're not talking efficiency here. This is a hobby; who cares about efficiency? If this becomes too large a white elephant, we will use a resistive load as has been done forever. I was just trying to be creative and come up with a new trick, that's all. And as for scrubbing the...

Crew Thanks for all the insight, but methane seemed to me to be the easiest route as an alternate "dump load" since that is my main goal in all this. As for using hydrogen directly, I've tried that, but it's such a small atom, it's hard to contain and when it is oxidized at only 4%, it...

Crew I'm brand new here and this is my first post. I am a regular at TheBackshed.com out of Australia and I found this forum by following a link on the subject of methane production from pure hydrogen. I tried to put my 2-cents' worth in as a "reply" to a comment on this thread, but it...
