description

In this paper we propose the use of Wave Energy Converter and saline water to produce hydrogen. Two different scheme and technology are proposed. The objective of this research is to design an electrolyzing system capable of utilizing sea. In particular, we present the results obtained by two different prototype of electrolyzer: one with steel electrodes and the second with titanium electrodes. Further experiments were carried out by changing the electrolytic solution of water and sodium chloride in real seawater. Finally, the electrical load has been changed as imposing electric current with a distorted waveform. © 2017 Marine Technology Society.
