Water to Burn

This feature appeared on our local TV news station. Perhaps America can tell the oil sheiks to pound sand in our lifetime. These guys seemed to have solved the age old problem of getting energy from water with their patented electrolysis technique. Visit their website for the full story.

I hope the guys who bought up and sequestered the 100 mile per gallon carburetors in the last energy crisis aren't still around.

I think the Lone Gunmen beat them to it, didn't they?

They could get together with the folks building cars that run on compressed air, and create cars that run on Coca-Cola.

This just played on our loca Fox station in Austin. I wonder how much energy is expended in the electroluysis process of separation the Hydrogen and Oxygen? That is the main question.

If it is 110 parts in and 100 parts out, then it is a no go proposition.

Maybe Congress should repeal the laws of Thermodynamics. And Accounting. Then we wopuld all be rich and have plenty of energy. No more bounced checks, no more pesky entropy!

burning "ice"

(methane hydrate)

We had a high level official with the Energy department come to my University and lecture on the Freedom Car. It is planned to run on hydrogen. After his lecture I was talking with him and he explained to work we would need something like 500 new electrical generation plants to crack the hydrogen from sea water. You still need coal or nuke, wind something to power the plants to replace the oil used in gasoline. And there is that little problem Scientific American published about I think it was clorine released into the air. Not a bad idea really use Nuke and USA Coal to crack sea water to make hydrogen cars to replace Wahhabist Muslim Terrorism Oil. It's just all those little technical glitches to overcome.

[Strategerist]

Looking at their website it screams "scam" to me.

[ElkGroveDan]

Too late. Jethro Bodine invented a gadget to burn water instead of gas years ago.

[timestax]

hay, don't make fun of Jethro...he gradjiated frum the 6th grade! dontcha no anythin?!

[mission9]

I will investigate this in person. Apparently, this is catalytic electrolysis, and this achieves a new level of efficiency. If geothermal, hydro or ocean current derived electricity provides the seed current for this electrolysis...then there is no pollution at all.

[mission9]

500 new nuclear power plants. Make my day. Sure beats a lifetime of servitude to Oil Sheiks. And while they are at it, use the breeder technology developed in the 1970's so that the plant makes more nuclear fuel than it consumes.

[nascarnation]

I agree
modern nukes for electrical energy
then use the energy to replace petroleum
either via battery storage or converting biomass for liquid fuels

(has anybody figured out how to convert kudzu to ethanol, the southeast USA will be the new Saudi Arabia, LOL)

[mission9]

Did you see the research that used a kudzu extract to reduce alcoholism? I am not kidding.

[SunkenCiv]

I first heard of this technology at a convention I attended on Venus. ;')

[Phsstpok]

Methane hydrates are neat, but dangerous stuff. They are also pretty bulky for the amount of energy you get.

The undersea beds made up of hydrates also provide the most compelling scientific explanation for some of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances that I've even bumped into, though it does have some problems, as well.
