Brian and Rick.
Below is an update from Rob Haun, Anspanner LLC, regarding hydrogen generation (very cool). Rob is lead on 'Cube', a non-lithium energy storage system (Aussies are involved)
Rob is an authority on plasma melting and electron beam melting for refractory and other metals/alloys.
Look forward to your comments.
Bob

Hi Pete,

The past 3 months have been busy in the lab for me.  Here is a very brief update on my progress.

  1.  1 kg samples of a hydrogen storage alloy are now routinely produced.
  2.  2 kg samples look to be the limit of the existing system configuration.
  3.  A planned upgrade to the material collection portion of the system will allow 10 kg samples.
  4.  In September, Anspanner was awarded a Commercial Evaluation License from the US Army Research Lab for their Nanogalvanic Aluminum patents.
     *   The alloy is designed to produce hydrogen gas by placing it in water.
     *   Two master alloy compositions have been made Al 28.5 Sn and Al 20 Sn – wt.%
     *   Five preliminary heats to produce rapidly solidified flake have been completed.

                                                               i.      Total material processed into flake was 1.20 lb. (550 g)

                                                             ii.      A crude 3 gram compact of the Al 28.5 Sn rapidly solidified flake was immersed in water produced approximately 110 ml of gas collected over water.

                                                           iii.      On Nov. 7, 2025, I purposely ignited the 110 ml gas sample.

           *   It went off with a load “pop” and heated the lid of the container.
           *   As per the inventor’s claims, the evolved gas was hydrogen.
  1.  The density of the nanogalvanic aluminum material is about one half of the hydrogen storage material – maximum production of that material will be about 5 kg.

I will be working on making 2.00” diameter disks to further test of the nanoglavanic aluminum.  Rapidly solidified flake production rates need to be determined as well as the hydrogen production rates.  The initial hydrogen production demonstration apparatus will be built from glass.  I believe it will be a good “show-and-tell” piece for us.

Best regards,
Rob
