Utilization of Hydrogen Gas through Water Electrolysis Process (Galvanized Steel Electrodes) as an Alternative Fuel

The issue of the fossil fuel energy crisis has always been an essential subject inIndonesia and globally. The increasing use of liquefied oil gas (LPG) makes fuel prices moreexpensive. Therefore some developing countries are racing to find breakthroughs in producingmuch stronger and cheaper renewable energy. This research was conducted to produce gasstoves with water-based materials using water electrolysis techniques. Water electrolysis occursby splitting water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen gas by transferring electrical current toelectrolytes (water solution and NaOH) through zinc electrodes, which are galvanized steelsbecause the electrodes are not rusty or react with water. The effect is hydrogen gas, which isthen placed in a gas portable to be used as additional fuel to power the gas stove.
