Don’t much care about the green stuff. But I could see using this in my off the grid cabin someday. :)

Just make sure the compressor runs on 110VAC or has its own generator.

No.

That’s not it.

Forget about using hydrogen to cook, power cars, or to heat. Hydrogen doesn’t like to be contained, and loves to escape through even the tiniest of holes, leading to a fire hazard.

In order to use it in a car or for any other purpose, you have to store it at high pressure, making it even more likely that the hydrogen will escape through tiny holes.

There’s a serious error your rationale. That is, that you’re using any at all. Real climate science is done by flailing your arms in panic and screaming that the world will end in 12 years. Does anyone really know what the effect of increased CO2 will be, assuming that humans are even responsible for it? Not for certain. There have been past eras when CO2 levels were much higher than today, and plants flourished in greater abundance, since they feed on it. There’s something missing from liberal “climate science”: experimentation and the resulting empirical data. All they have is theoretical models. They usually don’t work if that’s all there is.

The fix is easy and AOC approved. Firstly we fit all bovines with my patented bovine fart collector. (Models for other ruminants, ie. deer, horses zebras etc in development.) Dose a little cow fart into the H storage tank and if there is a leak you will know it. I am having some problems with the human version. Austin, SF and NOLA don't have a problem with the plugs but for some reason most of the male gender in the rest of the country are refusing to beta our product.

It would need to be compressed. Compression cost would be negligible. Store it in an underground tank so it is safe.

Apparently you lack basic knowledge of Engineering/cost of materials/Energy required to compress GAS.

Please Step away from that Ganga you have been smoking

Which also composes -90% of greenhouse gas.

Ban growth of atmospheric water vapor.

Bills would still be high, they would just up the portion for transmission charges and such. My actual power usage is about 40 bucks a month, the bill is over 300.

This is a compilation of notes I made while researching Mills history and the Hydrino - don’t know where I found the first excerpt, it sheds some light on who is bankrolling his operation though.


Threats to [failure to obtain] the hydrino patents could jeopardize Morgan Stanley Dean Witter’s plans to underwrite BlackLight’s estimated billion dollar initial public offering. And some of BlackLight’s backers say they’re offended when portrayed as dupes or coconspirators.

“If I wanted to gamble, I’d fly to Vegas,” says Rick Barry, whose Eastbourne Capital Management and its principals invested $5 million in BlackLight after what he describes as “detailed” due dilligence by him and PacifiCorp. “I don’t think the risk [with Mills] is science fraud. It’s can he engineer a device and can he protect his intellectual property? I thought we were safe on the latter until this started to unfold.”

Along with PacifiCorp, electric utility Conectiv has invested in BlackLight. Tyco International inherited a sliver stake in the company through its purchase of Amp Incorporated, a leading producer of electrical connectors. Individual backers are among the Who’s Who of the business establishment. They include a former chairman of Morgan Stanley and a former president of PaineWebber. Board members include Dr. Shelby Brewer, a former top Department of Energy nuclear official, and Aris Melissaratos, former director of Westinghouse’s Science and Technology Center.

Times are tough on Robert Mills Sr.’s 91-acre grain farm in Chester County, Pennsylvania. “This year is very, very bad,” he confides. “I’m glad the kids got out.”

His eldest, Robert Jr., has a water well drilling business, his daughter Raeleen is a massage therapist. And his younger son, Randell, recently bought a 53,000-square-foot space satellite manufacturing plant near Princeton, New Jersey, from Lockheed Martin. He then stocked it with millions of dollars of high-tech gear. Here the younger Mills plans to overturn quantum theory as it’s been understood for decades.

Randell Mills, a Harvard-trained medical doctor who also studied biotechnology and electric engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says he’s found the Holy Grail of physics: a unified theory of everything. A central part of Mills’s theory explains the basis of the traditional, and paradoxical, “duality” concept of the electron as both a particle and a wave with a model where electrons are charges that travel as two-dimensional disks and wrap around nuclei like fluctuating soap bubbles. He calls them “orbitspheres.”

“Sounds like you’re still wedded to big-plant, central generation with transmission and distribution networks, albeit with “superconductivity”.”

Not at all. I am not wedded to anything but my wife.

The big grid companies already use superconductive storage but because of the temps it needs to be kept at it is very very expensive.

What I would love is a thorium pebble bed reactor with a helium turbine with the whole unit the size of a fridge that could sit out in the garage.

You can also post a picture of an exploding automobile from gasoline or an exploding house from leaking gas.

You mean like the FAKE NEWS MEDIA did some years back using a GM Pick-up.

re: “What I would love is a thorium pebble bed reactor ...”

Another “stranded asset” in a few years ...

You need to do your due diligence. It took me a year to come to grips with Mills and the Hydrino ...

You know what they say: “A word to the wise ...” and all that.

15% direct to hydrogen is orders of magnitude more efficient than solar>electrolysis>H conversion.

Orders? Isn't it about the same? The last numbers I saw from pro-solar types say that it's 8 watts into electrolysis to get enough H2 to produce 1 watt.

It's not a great idea for most people.

"The solar panel measures 1.65 meters long—roughly the height of a kitchen refrigerator, or this reporter—and has a rated power output of about 210 watts. The system can convert 15 percent of the solar energy it receives into hydrogen."....."a well-insulated Belgian house could use about 20 of these panels to meet their power and heating needs during an entire year"

There is something terribly wrong with their math. Solar energy reaching the earth's surface averages about 150 watts per square meter for a panel always mounted perpendicular to the sun (when it's up), averaged over a year*. Assuming their panel is a meter wide, and always pointed at the sun, it makes sense that the power INPUT to the panel is 'about 210 watts' per day, not its output. At 15 percent efficiency, that would give them 32 watts per day per panel. Twenty panels would give them 640 watts per day, on average. That's about a dime's worth of electricity per day. Not very many people could heat and electrify their homes for three bucks a month worth of electricity.

* Wikipedia - "Sunlight" - "The World Meteorological Organization uses the term "sunshine duration" to mean the cumulative time during which an area receives direct irradiance from the Sun of at least 120 watts per square meter.[1] Other sources indicate an "Average over the entire earth" of "164 Watts per square meter over a 24 hour day"

If it became cost effective just for generating hot water for bathing and heating home energy costs could drop 40%.

I'm all for innovation.

But it's always comes down to cost, efficiency, and convenience.

I hope the big breakthroughs come quickly.

Ummm the cost would be the compressor. The compressor would run on hydrogen.

The cost of compression would be the cost of the compressor amortized out over the compressed gas. The 8.3 kWh/kg of hydrogen energy cost would not be there.

Now they are going to want to cover everyone else s property with their collectors.
