Solar powered water cracking....for hydrogen, end product..
 

So, someone patented and licensed the process......WTF happened afterwards, oil cartel plot to suppress?

Non US, source....

Patent number?

I seriously doubt you can patent basic chemistry. Application of electricity to water will do this. We learned this in elementary school chemistry right? Use a solar cell instead of a battery. It would have to be a pretty unique process to patent I would imagine.

you could patent a device to do it tho

it just sounds expensive, given how much O wants its little H buddies

Cracking H from O can be done, solar powered cracking is by definition a FAR cheaper alternative once the infrastructure has been built.

Cracking water with sunlight

so it's not electrolysis. it's using a catalyst to do the splitting at high temps

cheaper than directly using solar PV panels?

than any other ways to generate and/or transport H?

that's what I don't get - I'm fine with research on it, but as far as a build-out(?)

To make hydrogen: you need salt water and sunlight and low-voltage electrodes.

I'm stuck there...
Carry on.

Cool, he can put in $3 worth of energy and get $1 worth out. Where do I sign?

I have been approached on 2 different solar based water to hydrogren projects. In both cases my attitude was "Cash in Advance on all sales".

what would the amortized cost be for the panels, charge controllers, etc.?

Sammy math...show me da calcs......Hydrogen is #1 on the chart....it's a building block. Build it, then you can tear it down.

USE IT....


Oooopsie...forgot to add:D

What is the cost of kidney failure due to (federally-undisclosed) fracking chemicals?

0$

Red- How 'bout AQ dumping toxic in the LA reservoir poisoning millions?
What is that worth?

(only a small ;))

People tend to fear what they don't understand. Now will someone please buy that young lady a sandwich. :)



PS: Salt water plus electrolysis = Cl2(chlorine)+ NAOH+H2
Distilled water + electrolysis= H2+O2

What is the cost of me viewing this image and my wife looking over my shoulder? Hmmmm
.. Man, that's one fine image.
