  • Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of the compound water into oxygen and hydrogen gas by using an electric current through the water. Current will conduct electricity to the electrodes so that there will be a reduction reaction in the cathode and form hydrogen gas. To speed up the process of electrolysis required electrolyte solution as a solution that is both conduct electricity. In general electrolysis processes undertaken to produce oxygen gas and hydrogen gas using alkaline solution. Alkaline solution used is NaOH. The solution is a strong electrolyte that can conduct electric current well. The electrodes used are stainless steel pipe which is resistant to corrosion with insulating material added cotton fabric that serves as insulator or barrier zone between the cathode and the anode. By designing Prototype Hydrogen Fuel Generator With Insulating catoon, hydrogen gas may be generated based on the effect of electric current. Variations of the electrical current used is 2.5 A, 5 A, 7.5 A, 9.5 A and 11 A. The higher the electrical current supplied to the production of hydrogen gas will be many more. The production of hydrogen gas is the most widely produced on the current 11 A with 100.65 ml of hydrogen gas. While efficiency is inversely proportional to the production of hydrogen gas. The highest efficiency resulting in current of 5 A is 20.20% whereas the lowest was 14.81% resulting in the current 11 A.
