Looking for an electrolysis machine so I can generate H2 for use in
cooking using excess electricity produced by a small scale wind turbine.
Max likely power is 2kW.

Overall, the efficiency doesn't have to be particularly high since the
energy is mostly 'free'.

... I'm also a bit
worried about whether the flame would be visible, and related safety
aspects.

I'd still go for the Mars bar.
Thanks for the laughs!

Also looking for anyone who produces a simple method of storing a couple
of cu m of the gas (gasometer over water old style?)

Stainless steel rod or mesh in 1N NaOH. Put in a spray trap for
airborne NaOH drops.

The gasometer's a good bet for storage if you pressurize the whole
system, so the pressure's generated by electrolysis. Avoid the
temptation to use an electric pump. You could make it out of 2 or 3
garbage cans.

Hydrogen might not be your best cooking fuel. You'd need special jets
to burn it. Air mixing, etc, would all be different.

How about using the excess energy to pump water into
an elevated tank or raising a weight? Then recover
the energy as electricity, and convert it to heat.

Why not store your Wind electricity in a bunch of Auto
batteries (transform the V-output as needed) and cook
your food with conventional electrical heating utensils.
It's cheaper & safer and all the items are commercially
available off the shelf.

Well, auto batteries are not designed for deep discharge.
Also I was hoping to keep the battery pack size down for a number of
reasons, not least cost. The perfect battery is a long way off, and lead
acid seems to be the only real choice until A123 start selling the stuff
I need a lot cheaper.

I would use the current to heat water, specially if you already have
water-type central heating and can add another tank.

Yet again, this may not be cost-effective - you'll have to buy heavy
cable and a special heating element for low voltage, or an up-convertor.

In France, they're trying to create a market (and bring prices down), by
buying at a good price the excess electricity from systems that have an
up convertor to feed the current into your mains supply. Currently, the
payback time is about 15 years for professionally-installed systems that
qualify for tax relief.

Don't let this stop you having some fun.
