A microcontroller based electrolytic cell for hydrogen production

Electrolysis is a known pathway for the generation of hydrogen. When powered by an energy source like wind or solar, the renewable fuel obtained (H2) can be used in combustion engines or fuel cells.

This project investigates the application of a programmable controller for the monitoring and control of a lab-scale electrolysis process.
