Abstract: This paperrepresent about Hydrogen Fuel Cell which consist of a fuel tank and is filled with demineralized water (DM)
having zero conductivity and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). This fuel cell is designed to operate on the method of Electrolysis by separating
hydrogen and oxygen. The fuel cell uses electrochemical process to split hydrogen and water and recombine to form HHO gas
(hydroxyoxygen), which we can further use for generating heat and electricity. Hence gives us a conclusion of using the resultant heat
for various purposes like welding, cooking etc. But this paper gives a brief explanation about HHO gas for the purpose of cooking.
1.1Properties of hydrogen
2. Literature Survey
Figure 3: Fuel Tank In 1802, Sir Humphrey Davy created the first simple fuel
cell based on compound like NH3/O2/C, C/H2O which was
1.3.4 PWM delivering an inadequate electrical shock. So this fuel cell
Pulse width modulation (PWM),a part of the fuel cell is for was not acceptable .The first fuel cell was firstly imagined
controlling the flame of HHO. PWM is also known for by Sir William Robert Grove in 1839, that why he is also
increasing the production of HHO gas without increasing the known as the father of the fuel cell. He has done an
current rating (amp). experiment by mixing hydrogen and oxygen in the existence
of an electrolyte and helped in the production of electricity

The flow rate of HHO can be varied from 2-13 liter per Thomas Edison. He built a power generation by burning
minutes. This gas can be used straight or with the coals. Fuel cell is named as fuel cell by Ludwig Mind and
combination of LPG. As LPG gas has carbon so there is no Charles Langer who has built the first fuel cell device using
risk of flash back. industrial coal gas and air, in 1889.In 1993, Sir Francis
Bacon started to work on fuel cell and developed a high
density AFC at very high pressure
3. Problem Definition
As we know hydrogen is a very explosive gas so the
problem in using hydrogen is the risks of fire or bursting. So
this paper deals with that problem by implementing the use
of flash back arrestor. With the help of this flash back
arrestor, at the time of back fire the entire system will be
protected from the fire causing no harm to the humans as
well as environments. Another problem of hydrogen
includes storage and its production cost. But this paper also
gives a good explanation about hydrogen production, as here
Figure 4: Home Gas Stove we are using water for hydrogen production which is
abundant in nature
Diameter of each hole in the stove is 0.3mm. There are 5
holes on a single burner top and there are total 4burner top.
This gas stove is printed by a 3D printer.
This gas will goes to the upper portion of the fuel tank and If we consider subsidized cylinder:
from their it will go to the bubbler through the pipe on its 14.2 kg LPG=194.54 (KWH) = 700344KJ
top. And from the first bubbler the gas will goes to the {194.54 KWH explanation:
another bubbler through the other pipe. And this gas from
the second bubbler can be used for producing heat. so we Composition of LPG in a cylinder is -

Energy density of H2=130MJ/kg
Density of H2 = 0.085 gm/l at room temperature. I have completed my bachelor of technology (B.
Tech) in 2013 in electrical engineering from Suresh
Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur. And presently
So, Energy output = 504*0.085*0.001*130 = 5.57 MJ/hr. pursuing M. Tech under dual degree program in
To attain 154MJ, this HHO fuel cell will take 27.64 hr.If we energy from Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur,

then cost is 3.70 Rs/units = 3.70*(2.42*27.64) =
Rs245.44.This provide us result that presently H2 is more
economical.
6. Conclusion
Home gas by hydrogen fuel cells gives us a wonderful
conclusion by discussing the use of HHO gas for cooking
purpose. As already discussed above, the HHO gas in the
hydrogen fuel cell is prepared by the electrolysis process by
splitting of water. So, the primary source used in the
production of HHO gas is water which is well known for its
abundance. So fuel cell helps in dealing with one of the
major problem by reducing the production cost of hydrogen.
Hence by the use of “home gas by hydrogen fuel cell” we
can save money up to a great extent. And we also know the
hydrogen gas is eco-friendly, thus it is emission free and
produces no carbon during the use. In this way we can also
save LPG for future.
7. Future Scope
We all know that generally fuel cell is used for
transportation purpose and in portable uses. Here, in this
paper we have shown the use of hydrogen fuel cell for
cooking. Sometimes, we are facing lack of LPG so it can be
imagined that there may be no LPG for the future use, so
this home gas by hydrogen fuel cell can be used in future for
cooking in the absence of LPG. On other hand, the fuel cell
can be very helpful for supplying power to ours cars in
