Tiggy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Doesn't anyone else think that you don't get enough of it from electrolysis? I have ten electrolysis machines and they can just barely support one hydrogen generator. I'm not an expert or anything, but it is my understanding that there should be twice as much hydrogen generated as oxygen from this kind of machine; at the moment it seems there is basically equal, or less hydrogen. This doesn't quite seem to tally with what I have seen in oxygen generator threads, so I'll post a screenshot.

No. Electrolysis of 1kg H2O generates almost exactly 112g of Hydrogen and 888g of Oxygen in real life. You have to remember the difference of atomic weight between hydrogen and oxygen (about 1 and 16 respectively). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/86796-not-enough-hydrogen-from-electrolysis/#findComment-996011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusjcd Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 You have too few pumps. Most of the time you have electrolyzers idle. I have 6 electrolysers fully loaded with two generators, but they have 5 pumps.
