Systems and methods to make hydrogen gas using metal oxyanions or non-metal oxyanions
Disclosed herein are methods and systems that relate to oxidizing a metal ion of a metal oxyanion or a non-metal ion of a non-metal oxyanion from a lower oxidation state to a higher oxidation state at an anode and generate hydrogen gas at the cathode. The metal oxyanion with the metal ion in the higher oxidation state or the non-metal oxyanion with the non-metal ion in the higher oxidation state may be then subjected to a thermal reaction or a second electrochemical reaction, to form oxygen gas as well as to regenerate the metal oxyanion with the metal ion in the lower oxidation state or the non-metal oxyanion with the non-metal ion in the lower oxidation state, respectively.
LOAD TESTING DEVICE
A load testing device includes a connection unit to which a power source being tested is connected, a hydrogen generating unit that performs electrolysis based on power supplied from the power source being tested to generate hydrogen, two or more supply units to which hydrogen obtained in the hydrogen generating unit passes and to which a portable tank is removably attached, and an operational unit that has a load amount adjustment switch and a display unit. The load amount of the hydrogen generating unit is switched depending on an operational state of the load amount adjustment switch. The display unit displays at least one of an attachment status of the portable tank and a filling status of hydrogen in the two or more supply units.

ELECTROLYTIC LIQUID GENERATION DEVICE
An electrolytic liquid generation device includes stacked body in which conductive membrane is stacked and interposed between cathode and anode adjacent to each other, electrolytic part that electrolyzes liquid, and housing in which electrolytic part is disposed and flow path is formed. Electrolytic part includes slot that is open in flow path, and in the slot, a part of interface between conductive membrane and cathode and anode is exposed. Either one of the electrodes of cathode and anode has an outer periphery smaller in width than slot of electrolytic part. This can provide an electrolytic liquid generation device capable of improving the concentration of an electrolytic product dissolved in liquid.
