Our DryCells are custom made in Germany. We manufacture in a small series of highest labour input and quality.

How It Works

The preassembled small DryCell Kit

It is a simple technique to efficiently convert water into flammable oxyhydrogen gas. The electrolysis of water is an old invention and even works with materials from the hardware store. The gas is cheap to produce and environmentally friendly. It is flammable and contains more energy than crude oil or natural gas.

The principle is as ingenious as it is simple: All you need is mild soapy water and electricity for electrolysis (the best is from photovoltaic or wind power). The many narrow steel plates are highly efficient. In-between those plates there is a very mild soapy solution (3% soap in distilled water). By applying power to the plates, a large volume of flammable gas is produced.

The energy of course just comes from the water itself. Yes, water is full of energy. It`s why we drink it. Thus the electrolysis is just a stimulus, like a piece of flint, a cranking motor or a skipper setting sails. They all just unleash other (and much more powerful) energies. The gas can by ignited immediately and used e.g. for welding, heating or as an additive in combustion engines to save fuel. We explain all these experiments in the DIY manual.

For comparison:

1kg of crude oil = 35 MegaJoules
1kg of H2 = 120 MegaJoules

FAQ

Are these fuel cells?
No, they are exactly the opposite! Fuel cells make electricity from oxygen. The DryCell makes oxyhydrogen from water and electricity.

The DVD won't work on my player!
This is a dual layer NTSC format DVD. Try watching the film on a computer or chose the download version.

How do I get the password to the customer area?
All customers who obtain the DIY manual will get a password to the customer area.

I want to become a member of your organisation!
We are no association. There is no membership. We are a free group of friends trying to help the planet before we leave.

The electrolysis is an inefficient loop way! Why not heat electrically?
This is what Michael Faraday said 200 years ago. Today we have much more efficient materials and equipment, even from the local hardware store. And as we know today, the energy from the oxyhydrogen is already stored within the water. So the electrolysis is just a stimulus for fission, and this is no closed energy circle at all. We explain this in the DIY manual.

Where can I find such DIY workshops in my area?
The DryCell is Open Source, so anyone can join in, replicate and develop free of charge. So we usually do not know who is offering workshops.

Why do you call this a 'DryCell'?
The unit is traditionally called a 'DryCell' to distinguish it from Michael Faraday’s 'WetCell' from the 1830's. Of course the DryCell also uses water for the electrolysis, but only very little. It is much more efficient.

What is the 'WetCell'?
An older variant from Faraday's times. The Audi car owner also uses one in his car. Basically it is just a jam jar with a spiralled coil inside. We think it is rather ineffective.

Can I use the DryCell in my car to save fuel?
Usually yes, but that depends on your car's engine. Also please check if this is legal in your country. We explain this a lot more detailed in the DIY manual.

Can I use the DryCell for heating?
Yes, and we even explain a lot of fascinating heating experiments in the DIY manual.

What else can I do with oxyhydrogen gas?
You can flamelessly heat with our DIY sand heater, use it for welding, melting (even tungsten melts within seconds!), you can boil water (the flame even burns underwater), use it as a lime light, you can power combustion engines and even remove radioactivity, and lots of other fascinating experiments. We explain ALL of these experiments in the DIY manual. You will definitely love this.

I want to store this gas.
Don't work against nature. Hydrogen (H2) has the smallest and lightest atoms of all. It instantly ascends and dissolves through every material, it even goes through walls and roofs right into the atmosphere. This makes storage totally useless. So we never store it! We simply make it on demand.

Aren’t there patents?
The DryCell is a free invention, free of patents (they are long expired). It is even Open Source. So anyone can join in, replicate and develop free of charge. No more secrecy. No more hiding! The invention is additionally protected by an international safeguard organisation.

What’s the efficiency of the DryCell?
A decent DryCell draws about 130-160Wh to make 1 litre of oxyhydrogen gas per minute. This is about 390-480Wh for 3l/min., or approx. 650-800Wh for 5l/min. Values may vary depending on actual setup and other factors. Skilled hobbyists can absolutely undercut these values. These are very good results already. But we don’t really think about efficiency at all. We do this for self-sufficiency and a better planet. And we love to do experiments. More about this in the DIY manual.

Are there scientifically approved measurements?
We are in contact with established Universities in Europe. But do not expect them to work at the speed of free market economy. We know they could have refuted us with ease if we were all wrong. Fact is: We have a working device here. We are just waiting for their explanation of what is really going on here. To all doubters: Build and measure for yourself! You wouldn’t believe us anyway, right?

You can't power cars with this, or heat efficiently. Never!
Of course we can. This is no closed energy cycle, so there is no violation of the energy conservation law. Electrolysis has developed since Michael Faraday 1830. And we have far better materials, even from the local hardware store. Third, water is full of energy. That's why we drink it. All the energy from the oxyhydrogen is already stored within the water. Thus the electrolysis is just a stimulus for fission. Ignoring water as an energy source would be like ignoring the fuel in a car, and then claiming the car would run on battery.

Why didn’t we hear from you in the news?
Short question, long answer. We explain this in detail in the DIY manual.

What are the DIY material costs?
You need approx. 400 USD for the DryCell, depending on make and size. A sturdy switching power supply starts from approx. 250 USD. Instead you can simply use lead batteries of any standalone photovoltaic system for powering the DryCell. And of course you will need some common tools to assemble.

Where to obtain all the parts for DIY assembling?
At your local hardware store. Some parts you might also find in computer stores or wholesale markets. Improvise. Nature is not standardized. In case of trouble, team up with neighbours, work colleagues and friends. This will reduce costs and is much more fun, too.

Where can I find others?
Look for like minded people among partners, friends, neighbours and work colleagues. It’s about time for synergy and cooperation. And of course there are a lot of web forums. But we do not have contacts there, we do not even watch these forums and we do not care what is going on there. SeeLinks.

How to power the DryCell?
You can use a car battery, a stand-alone photovoltaics system, a switching power supply (for power grid use), a toroidal transformer, or whatever you find is appropriate. Improvise! Luckily nature is not standardized :-)

How much Volts/Amperes does the DryCell need?
Our DryCells draw 3-5A only for most applications (welding, underwater flame, flameless sand heater, limelight,...). In the first minutes during a power up, a cold DryCell can easily draw up to 15-30A, if you just let her. Our DryCells use 1.7V-2.4V per chamber, depending on the operating temperature. One always builds a DryCell to match the existing power supply and intended usage.

But this gas is explosive!
Yes, this is exactly why we use it. And we are absolutely careful in what we do. We work in small scale, we just produce on demand, we do not store any gas and we take precautions to stay safe. Remember, this is a technical experiment with chemicals, electrical energy and fire. These are real energies we are working with. But we are all grown up and responsible. So team up with friends, neighbours and work colleagues! This is much more fun and will save you a lot of money, too.

I have no technical experience!
Decide for yourself if this is something for you. This is not intended for the average customer who demands off-the-shelf solutions. We show you technical experiments which are still undergoing development. They can still contain errors and are therefore intended for adults only. You will need technical skills, patience and enthusiasm. Team up with colleagues, friends and neighbours, this is more fun and makes it easier. Consult an authorized specialist if you are uncertain what to do.

The DryCell is Open Source, why does this DIY manual cost real money?
Relax, you don't have to pay anyone anything! The knowledge is Open Source, you find our instructions on Youtube. While the printed manual and the DVD were hard work for all of us, by obtaining a copy you help us continue our development. We think this is fair.

They say on the web that this is just a hoax.
Many people would rather believe in theory than reality. Some might even be paid debunkers. Who pays debunkers to run down Open Source...?
