A prototype of hydrogen generator has been developed in which two electrolytic cells are connected in parallel. Experiment has been carried out to find the input power at which efficiency and hydrogen production of the generator are to be optimum. Experimental results show that optimum hydrogen production rate of 96.6 ml/min with an efficiency of 63% has been achieved when input voltage and current are 6.4 V and 4 A respectively.
