Hydrogen House off grid

Hydrogen House Project ^ | Mike Strizki

[Omnivore-Dan]

Mike Strizki is an inventor, scientist, engineer, and businessman. He runs and operates the Hydrogen House Project which has been off-grid with complete energy independence for over 18 years. Mike’s mission is to provide the world with a safe and reliable energy system that solves this century's greatest problem of storing renewable energy indefinitely with no environmental impact. The process is simple by utilizing the natural power of water and the sun. Water enters into an electrol [...]

This is in N.J. I've heard about this man before on the local radio station, but never checked him out. Interesting guy.

[crusty old prospector]

I’ll stick with my gas furnace and air conditioner.

[D_Idaho]

“This is in N.J.”

Lakehurst, perhaps?

[butlerweave]

Is he rich and can afford all this ?

[Omnivore-Dan]

Ha! Yeah he’s re-inventing the Hindenburg. Going to fly it over China.

[Omnivore-Dan]

So will I, but it is an interesting site, imho.

[Omnivore-Dan]

I don’t think he’s rich, but not poor either. I suspect he’s pretty well off, comfortable He’s an engineer and can make most of the stuff.

It all comes down to cost. Is he paying around the same, or less, than natural gas or other sources or is he paying more but doing it because of convictions?

I’m glad he’s doing it because proof of concepts allow for optimization.

[silent majority rising]

Funny.

[Omnivore-Dan]

I’m sure he didn’t do it to increase his costs. The whole idea is for cheap energy. Even if his initial layout was considerable, long term should pay off.

[Jonty30]

Maybe he didn’t pay for it. Maybe it was paid for him by a university or research grant just to make a hydrogen house as an experiment to make it better?

He might also be doing it independently, as a living experiment. It should be cheaper, I think, because his only fuel would be water.

Even if his initial layout was considerable, long term should pay off.

but things advance and are improved and this could be obsolete in no time and you’re stuck with the bill

[Lockbox]

Proof of concept is a foreign concept to our “new, green, climate saving” folks. Just build wind turbines with an estimated life of 20 years and discover that the blades and gearboxes last seven years! So that drives up the cost and reduces the payback and sellable energy. But hey we’re saving the planet!

thanks for the post

in before the hindenburg refere.... nevermind

You’re welcome.

Since we are being shown about the possible life span of the wind generators, what about the hidden flaws of solar units? In our area, we have one & I hear they are building another. It costs extra to build something that is only auxiliary power, so where’s the savings? Notice I didn’t include what happens to one of these solar arrays in a hail storm....which we have already experienced. Only gain I can see is if the “green” units can supply extra electric power if it is needed & even then we would necessarily be paying extra for it, maybe a considerable amount, as you can’t build these units for nothing. Now we have often heard about how the “green power” can supply ALL our needs, (no conventional power plants needed) but I think that has already easily been proven to be untrue. In fact, in certain conditions it might not even be available as auxiliary power. I’m thinking in terms of winter storm conditions with high winds.

My solar panels have a 25 year warranty and have survived two golf ball sized hail storms too. Based on their decline in output which is what the capacity warranty is for they will last well past 25 years.

They lost 1% their first year and have been steady at 0.02% per year every year after. That means they will not reach 80% until well past the 25 year mark at the 25 year point they will be down 5.8% EOL for commercial solar is 80% capacity left. At 0.02% per year these panels will be good when my grear grand children are adults I. 80 years not that they actually would last that long but 5 years in they are like new and not aging fast at all. I fully expect them to out live me. Couldn’t be happier with my off grid capable system as a prepper it’s priceless.
