Surfs Up 9 Flight Report/The Selfie Mission
Greetings!
The Selfie Mission, conceived in 2013, started with simple experiments. Over a multi-year period, the design and payload emerged into something flyable. I invite you to read this brief

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
Hi Hank,
The regulator doesn't seem to regulate, it is about 30psi out.
Turning the knob on the front makes it open or close/stop the flow of Hydrogen.
Maybe it never adjusted, it just seemed right

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
No need to spend more than about $100. Some regulators have to be built using special materials (like those for corrosive gases), but hydrogen and oxygen regulators are built the same and I have

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
Carlton,
That's exactly the model Larry is looking at! It's listed by Smith as a single stage by the way with a 3 year limited warranty. Not likely you could find a two stage regulator, new,

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
One regulator to avoid might be
Smith 30-100-350
It is a 2 stage regulator I bought off Ebay a number of years ago probably 2013-2014. I think i paid $45 + shipping for this regulator brand New in

Helium to hydrogen thread adapter / was Re: [GPSL] Helium Supply (in 2018)
Larry,
On Amazon now it's $26.94. You can go lower than that on ebay right now.

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
On this list right hand to left hand adapters have been discussed and bought by several groups. There were even part numbers specified, IIRC. That way their tried-and-true helium regulators didn't

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
That $500 price is totally nutz!!!! I can't imagine what device they have in mind. Just for grins you might ask them for a catalog sheet, or a make and model number.
You can easily beat that $93

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
Yes, mine is adjustable. You definitely want that for pico balloons or a flow restrict or because they take so little gas.

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
I'm no expert on regulators so I'm hesitant to give an opinion. If you can find reputable reviews for this brand, it should be just fine. Mine is a well known brand thst I bought on ebay that wasn't

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
They key is for H2 is left hand thread. AND even for safety the pressure it can take. that one looks good in both cases.
NOW the one we have been using 30+ years of

Re: Hydrogen regulators?
This one looks adjustable. I spent far less at my local welding shop for a regulator with fixed settings.
Are you asking for an adjustable regulator? I think mine is permanently set for 30 PSI exit

Hydrogen regulators?
I keep having to ask you questions. Well I appreciate your help anyway. So we are trying to shift over to hydrogen and the local welding supply place wants $500 for a regulator. Yet I see this $93
