Solar Panel Splits Water to Produce Hydrogen

Hydrogen fuel in your car is no more dangerous than gasoline. Some would say a lot safer.

liquid or gas?

[faucetman]

“forgoing the need for large, expensive electrolysis plants.”

The practical use of hydrogen fuel is for automobiles. Plants can be small, placed at individual fueling stations.

But there is an amazing thing the human body does that we do not entertain or allow anymore and it is very unhealthy not to, it’s called acclimation. After living this way for a couple years you find that heating and cooling is rarely needed because your body once again starts acclimating to winter and summer changes as it was designed to.

Yes, there have always been a small group of hermits that enjoy their lifestyles - But Valley girls?

I simply prefer continence and LNG, Oil and Coal - Nuclear as well currently provide for this excellent lifestyle in an extremely cost effective way in the U.S. of A

As for the Rest of the world, just look around, they all wish to be here, and not where they live in their limited energy ways.

[faucetman]

Gas, why? Gasoline vapor is even more explosive. I don’t get your point.

[faucetman]

“Hydrogen has been proven to be as safe as or even safer than other flammable fuels such as gasoline or natural gas. However, hydrogen gas has a few unique properties that require special consideration. ... Hydrogen, handled with this knowledge, is a safe fuel.”

[Openurmind]

And it’s all based on pure LAZINESS, consumerism, class and status, and universal assumptions that everyone has to absolutely have these amenities to be “comfortable” or they are living substandard.

We are completely independent of this cultural and financial enslavement. A little hard work and very slight inconvenience is worth every bit of not being sucked or forced into the dependency mess and having society dictate how we should live.

Let the valley girls have at it and beat themselves up trying to out do each other. We can just sit back and watch it all slowly destroy it’s self knowing we are ahead of the game and will be just fine when it does.

Bump for later

[I got the rope]

Wow...100+year old technology that givs you nothing to solve a non problem. Take my money!

[layman]

Don’t collect farts .... they aren’t the problem. It’s the ‘burps’ that are destroying the solar system. And, if your invention were to be switched around to cover the bovine mouth in an effort to sequester the burps, then the cows will surely die from starvation. So ... it is apparent to me that your idea of collecting farts STINKS !

re: “Top honors for greenhousiest gas goes to sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)”

NOT for quantity though ...

[Lurker]

Not sure I want a large tank of a highly explosive gas right next to my house.

re: “I gave two links. Nothing more, nothing less so that others may look into a subject if they so chose. “

There have been no validations of the so-called “theory” even of what you are ... proffering.

Nothing but ‘cranks’ who cannot even contemplate, let alone conduct, a reputable, repeatable experiment or demo of the ‘tech’ they think they are pursuing ...

[dp0622]

lol

There is usually an in between that works out very well.

Trust me, to save money the temperature has to be higher than I was willing to endure 2 years ago and in the winter the temperature has to lower than I was willing to endure 2 years ago!

[dp0622]

Yeah they REALLY use the technology to its full advantage.

It’s a smart move.

[Openurmind]

The key here is location, trick is finding a micro-climate to live in where it’s not too cold and not too hot, comfortable almost year round. We live higher altitude desert where it is absolutely NICE 90% of the year. Very little heating or cooling even needed.

[ltc8k6]

“Not significantly more dangerous than natural gas.”

Hydrogen will ignite over a very wide mixture range. That is one of the characteristics that makes it dangerous.

“Hydrogen gas forms explosive mixtures with air in concentrations from 4–74% and with chlorine at 5–95%.”

I spent the first Nine years of my life in a Communist country - The scenes you see in Venezuela today remind me of some of these inconveniences.Things like no Toilet paper

Only the Few are willing to live off the grid

AND?! Does that mean it will never be accomplished and could be turned from a theory to an actuality simply because you disapprove of it?

We still maintain the luxury of toilet paper. You don’t have to live third world. Just use a percolator coffee pot instead of an electric drip maker. Or make toast on the stove top instead of using a toaster, Or actually cooking on the stove instead of using a microwave, which we do actually have enough power to run if we like. We just do without space heaters.

Why? The lower stress level of not trying to keep up with the competitive rat race indentured servitude is both good for physical and mental health. It’s good for the soul, it’s nice to have the comfort to know you are not locked in and dependent on anyone else and all the mess that goes with it. :)

There is more than one form of being rich... What I find funny is how many “conservatives” insist that being minimalistic and not wasteful and owned by debt is not considered as being “conservative” ideology. :)
