The Raspberry Pi-Controlled Oxygen and Hydrogen Generator Using a Renewable Energy Source

The Project

In our system, if the carbon dioxide level is too high, the Raspberry Pi-controlled electrolysis starts, which produces oxygen and hydrogen. The energy for electrolysis is provided by renewable solar energy. A rechargeable battery stores electrical energy in case the sun doesn't shine. We can store hydrogen in a tank, which can be used as fuel or as a source of energy. With this small system, I would like to model a well-functioning self-sufficient system that produces oxygen and fuel from a renewable energy source.

With this small system, I would like to model a well-functioning self-sufficient system that produces oxygen and fuel from a renewable energy source.

It was difficult to program the available relay. Additionally, producing an efficient water-electrolyte was challenging.

If I had more time, I would also install a wind turbine in the system so that it is not reliant solely on sunlight.
