Admittedly, I've been doing some investigation (youtube) into hydrogen harvesting/storage and decided against it.
Hydrogen needs to be pure and at 100 PSI is a relatively dangerous activity to do from home.
Any air mixed with the hydrogen during compression and you could trigger an exothermic reaction, aka boom.
And besides, I don't want to be poisoning the electrolyte anyway from needing to replenish it with water, my closed loop recombiner vent plugs are sufficient.

Everything old is new again ! Interesting. The main issue is constructing the cells to have individual vents for H and O2, and if you let fluid levels drop enough that they start to mix - you go boomLeave a comment:

I haven't looked at how they are classified in the new 2020 NEC.Leave a comment:

This technology just will not go away.
At the turn of the 20th Century, Thomas Edison invented a battery with the unusual quirk of producing hydrogen. Now, 120 years later, the battery is coming into its own.
The issue I see is that storing hydrogen usually requires compressing it. Many of the electrolyzers and membrane units can make low pressure hydrogen but their efficiency drops as the pressure increases.
