Developed by Dr. Alden H. Gajo as a means of creating cost-effective hydrogen, the AS1 Stack-On Electrolyzer appears to be one of the first cost effective ways to produce hydrogen that is available to the public.
While other electrolyzers that produce similar hydrogen output can cost over $10,000, the AS1 will cost you fractions of the price as it is selling for less than $400. The AS1 was created with three specific and altruistic goals: (I) to help reduce carbon greenhouse gas emissions in order to slow or stop global warming (2) to reduce or eliminate our country’s dependence on foreign energy sources, specifically crude oil (3) to help create a better and cleaner environment for our children and our grandchildren.
From these objectives came a product that can efficiently and effectively create hydrogen for practical purposes such as: a) creating hydrogen on demand and on a continuous basis for pennies per liter b) combining hydrogen with compressed natural gas (CNG), making this an ideal low cost solution to a CNG refueling station, offering instead a CNG-Hydrogen blend c) use as a home hydrogen refueling station.
With the holidays just around the corner, this could be an excellent gift for those who like to tinker with hydrogen, for researchers who need in-lab on demand hydrogen, or for educators trying to spread the word about this new fuel. Let’s face it, allowing a family member to assert energy independence is a much better gift than a lousy sweatshirt with bluebirds perched on holly branches.

Yesterday was the last day of the three day Green West Exposition and Conference held in Los Angeles, California at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Yet, for California being such a leader in the green movement, the limited turn-out of exhibitors was surprising—for which there were certainly grumblings amongst visitors. Granted, this was the first Green West exposition, and it was the last day, but Green West boasted less than 75 exhibits, the majority focusing on green architecture.
