Analysis of the Use of Recycled Aluminum to Generate Green Hydrogen in an Electric Bicycle

This article proposes using recycled aluminum, generating hydrogen in situ at low pressure, to power a 250 W electric bicycle with fuel cell (FC), increase the average speed and autonomy compared conventional battery. To generate hydrogen, aluminum–water reaction 6 M NaOH solution is used as catalyst. details parts of generation system, electronic configuration used, aluminum- reagent-loading procedure by-products obtained, well results operation without pedaling, resistance equivalent flat terrain maximum accelerator for one two loads about 100 g aluminum each. allows us observe different hybrid strategies, low-capacity battery each case. The goal demonstrate that it possible store energy long-lasting, transportable, low-pressure, sustainable manner, recycled-aluminum test tubes, apply this mobility.
