Using the Battery Pack to Perform Electrolysis (in the case of no wind)
Connect the red and black cables to the corresponding terminals located on
the wind turbine and reversible fuel cell. For best results using the WindPitch
to generate hydrogen using the included reversible fuel cell, setup the wind
turbine hub with six (6) profiled blades supplied with the kit. Use combinations
of the BP-28, NCAA 44 or NCAA 63 blades.
Set the blade pitch to 15 degrees. Make sure that the wind turbine is
generating AT LEAST 1.5 volts. If not, move the wind turbine closer to the fan
until it does. Also, make sure that the blade pitch is between 10 and 15
degrees. The wind turbine is sensitive to this setting at high wind speeds.
Allow the table fan and wind turbine to run for 10 minutes on high wind speed
settingto generate sufficient amounts of hydrogen and oxygen gases that are
stored in the water/gas tanks.
Procedure for repeated gas production: Disconnect the small plugs from the tubes connected to the nozzles on the reversible fuel cell. This
will allow water into the inner cylinders to replace the gasses and reset water levels to “0” line. Re-insert the plugs into the tubes and repeat
electrolysis again.
Note: You may also use the battery pack to perform electrolysis (In the case of no wind source)
Make sure the switch on the battery box is in the "off" position before you
place the batteries into the box.
WARNING: If the cable is short circuited the batteries inside could
become hot and potentially cause burns, melting of parts, or create
risk of fire.
Note: Battery’s energy may be consumed after 4-5 times of use.
Please remove the screw from cover of battery box using a screw driver.
Push and slide the cover and open the battery box.
Try NOT to touch the cables when you open the cover.
Place two AA batteries as indicated.
Push and slide the battery box cover to closed position and screw fightly
into place using screw driver.

If the wind is sufficient the system will now start to produce hydrogen and oxygen in the respective cylinders. When bubbles begin to
surface in the hydrogen cylinder the cycle is complete. Disconnect the reversible fuel cell from the Wind Turbine.
