If the configs haven't been changed, burning hydrogen should just break even. However, ethylene is a HUGE net positive gain, almost absurd levels. It takes a bit of setup (those mek machines are quirky for sure), and you need a supply of bio materials (small automated farm), but the returns are plentiful! Answer from VortexJD on reddit.com

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: How to make hydrogen (Mekanism, Ad astra, Chemlib)
May 15, 2024 -

Hi all, As mekanism got rid of the way to make hydrogen through the electric pump and electrolytic separator. I was wondering how I was supposed to get hydrogen for hydrogen chloride. It's a custom modpack on a server with Mekanism, Ad astra, Chemlib, Electrodynamics, some of the thermal mods. if i'm missing something please let me know as I can't find an answer online. Thanks anyways have a nice day

Edit: Forgot I even asked here. It was the mod pack not being put together right. It was missing some random mod. Hope anyone that reads this has a good day

Does burning the hydrogen I get from using an electrolytic separator in a gas-burning generator give me more power than it takes to produce the hydrogen in the first place? Or should I be using ethylene?

I know it wouldn't work in real life, but this is Minecraft where you can get power indefinitely from lava that never loses it's temperature. Also the water I'm using to get hydrogen in the first place is infinite.

My System is producing no power, an electrolytic separator attached to 3 gas-burning generators, the system appears to just sustain enough power to perform, but when I attach an energy cube it drains the buffer from the separator and then the systems blacks out.

Here's a video demonstrating my setup:

Sorry for no sound, I don't own a Mic.

how do I turn this into an actual power generator?

As we everybody knows mekanism remove recipe for making hydrogen from water in electolytic separator it doesnt take water anymore only heavy water and it make deuterium and oxygen so i can make oxygen okay but i rly dont know how to make hydrogen also why they remove this recipe ? im rly tilted becouse i like this mod for a looong time and this is sad and also making me angry can you somebody tell me how to get hydrogen by a different way or what to do becouse without hydrogen i cant make so much things . Im playing minecraft modded server 1.20.1 mekanism version is 10.4.5.

August 2, 2024 -

Good day every. I hope that someone can help me. I use Mekanism for ore processing and my machines have been upgraded to the highs tier. My Hydrogen Chloride in my Injecting Factory & Oxygen in Purifying Factory cant keep up and keep running empty.

Is there a way to produce more and faster Hydrogen Chloride & Oxygen.

I'm running a t3 ore processing chain and outputting some of the hydrogen to a gas-burning generator. I have that electrolytic separator upgraded 8/8 with speed and energy. It's supplying the gas-burning generator with enough hydrogen to produce 640rf/t (burn rate of 8).

But it takes the electrolytic separator 640rf/t to create that much hydrogen.

Is the wiki out-dated? was hydrogen nerfed in v9? I found some older documentation talking about how the dev was planning to use hydrogen as more of a intermediate step in energy production (for ethylene) and storage (batteries). If that's the way they went, cool, just curious if I'm doing something wrong here... if I was using an electric pump to get the water (instead of an EnderIO reservoir) then I'd be energy negative.

I don't really have any use for it since I'm relying on wind and solar for energy and I don't know what else to use it for other than that. Is there a way I can get rid of hydrogen without filling up a tank and then throwing said tank in lava repeatedly?

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: Hi guys anyone know how to move Hydrogen or any gas from Alchemistry Liquidiser to the Mekanism Basic Gas Tank
December 24, 2022 - Odds are you’ll have to make and use a rotary condenser. As mekanism has a hard distinction between liquids and gases, not the typical fluids being gaseous or not instead. Like most other mods do. And hope their oredict’d ... Alright I figured out how to store hydrogen, I just get a fluid tank and fill it up with the NC Hydrogen

December 5, 2018 -

I'm trying to set up a purification factory for our ore processing setup and I've built the elite tier upgraded version. The problem is it burns through so much oxygen. I've got 9 electrolytic separators going and it's still not enough. Is there any easier way to get mass amounts of the stuff?
