From: Automutt on 22 May 2010 05:46 I want to Know about Hydrogen ;) by ~Automutt I want to know I want to know what god thinks And I want him to have told me I want to know what God thinks And I want Him to now hold me I want to know what stars have known And unto what His seeds have sown What angels take as certain fact; Oh Lord, forgive my lacking tact. May I have strength to seal my fate? To forever now be not too late; To have asked whatever he may say, And turn to him this and every day. ------------------------------------------------- Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." "Imagination is more important than knowledge." "Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love." "I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details." http://automutt.deviantart.com/art/I-want-to-Know-77033389 http://automutt.deviantart.com/ Put your circuits in the sea By NGEN & MIT & U MGMT "All along the eastern shore Put your circuits in the sea This is what the world is for Making electricity You can feel it in your mind Oh you can do it all the time Plug it in and change the world You are my electric girl." MGMT Fuel for Cars, Energy for Homes, With the advent of nano-extraction techniques, the extraction of hydrogen from sea water for the use of power generation and fueling of cars is a step closer. NGEN's proposed conversion of coal and gas fired power stations to hydrogen and the supply of hydrogen for cars will revolutionise the worlds energy sector. http://www.foresight.org/ MIT's Belcher uses engineered virus to split water By Christine Peterson, on April 16th, 2010 Angela Belcher and team at MIT have tweaked a bacterial virus to serve as a scaffolding to: attract and bind with molecules of a catalyst (the team used iridium oxide) and a biological pigment (zinc porphyrins). The viruses became wire-like devices that could very efficiently split the oxygen from water molecules. Belcher says that within two years she expects to have a prototype device that can carry out the whole process of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen, using a self-sustaining and durable system. This is just a very early taste of what we can expect someday from more extensively designed molecular machine systems. -Chris Peterson http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=3868 Hydrogen is a critical piece of Americas future renewable energy policy, said Robert Dopp, CEO of GridShift, Inc. Our new water electrolysis process generates carbon neutral hydrogen that is cheaper than gasoline at a fraction of the cost and size of currently available water electrolysis hydrogen generators. We are now on the path to a truly viable hydrogen fueled future. The key to GridShifts process is a new method for coating a complex three-dimensionally shaped electrode on all surfaces with a unique combination of nano catalysts that expose the catalysts to the electrolyte for efficient water electrolysis reactions and is robust enough to withstand the rigors of electrolysis. The result is an electrolyzer running as a full cell at 1000 milliamp per cm2 at 80% energy efficiency. GridShift is on track to reach their goal of 85% energy efficiency, which is 47 kWh/kgH2 or $2.35 per kg of H2. Technical details of the development, procedure and the discovery are available in a whitepaper published at http://www.grid-shift.com/white_papers |
