 ACKNOWLEDGMENT

This report is been created with help of numerous effort from our
members. The information revealed in this report has been
collected from various sources such as textbooks, handbooks and
journals. Our team would like to express our gratitude to the
internal project guide Prof. Pankit B Kondhiya and also to the
helping staff of V.V.P Engineering College to guide our team and
achieve the project smoothly. Though our team heartily thanks to
all the supportive members who had taken part in completing our
project work.
 ABSTRACT

This report is related to manufacturing of hydrogen gas with help

of electrolysis of water, the hydrogen gas further will be utilized
for welding of metal alloys. The steps involved in making it
required a powdered form sodium hydroxide which is used as
catalyst, moreover stainless steel as electrodes and a power supply
carrying a voltage of about 12 volt. By assembling it in a proper
way hydrogen gas is generated and further it is hosed to a torch
which will be welding metal alloys, the flame generated is enough
capable to weld the industrial materials.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROBLEM SUMMARY:-

The most popular welding technique used in todays world is MIG and
TIG welding, but they do cost a high amount of approx. Rs15,000/- to
Rs20,000/- depending on the efficiency and quality of the product. So to
compensate this problems, our team has taken a step to move to the most
abundant form of energy available in the universe named as hydrogen
energy. By using electrolysis method, we tend to split hydrogen from
water and then further using it as in welding approach. Other
disadvantages of using our conventional welding processes are

(1) Required of electrode.

(2) Neediness of flux.

(3) Release of toxic gas.

(4) High and continuous power requirement.

(5) Frequent checking and maintenance.

(6) Refilling of inert gas.

1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVES

This project entitled hydrogen gas generator deals with generating

hydrogen gas from water, with help of electrolysis process. Hydrogen
being enriched with numerous energy will be used for welding purpose
in the next step. The first and foremost aim of this project is to develop a
low cost industrial useful welding machine. After then, its objective will
be to apply it at high and dynamic level welding requirement where
conventional welding machines finds it tough to achieve requirements of
consumer.
