Hydrogen is quite possibly the best solution you could have for the worlds energy needs. Over 70% of the world is covered in water. Hydrogen can be contained in a very large amount in another form (water) and converted to hydrogen when needed. With this new form, enough can be created with out another power source to create the hydrogen. (water electrolysis) Stanley Meyers was onto something big that could have changed the world over night but mysteriously died before his work could be put into production. Its only a mater of time before we go full scale hydrogen…the only problem is there is trillions of $$$ worth for oil companies to profit from before oil runs out. They have th money therefore they have the power.

John Kanzius found a way to burn salt water using radio waves. He used a 13.56Mhz frequency and roughly 200watts. Now using a voltage of 12 volts we use our equation P= I X E

200watts = 12volts X 16.66amps

That’s not much energy at all. Is this theory plausible? If so, how hard to implement this idea to change energy as we know it?

In a “Hydrogen economy”, H would be used in a fuel cell to create electricity to power cars, homes etc. So a certain amount of energy has to be used to create, transport, store H until it is converted into electricity. This begs the question: why not just create electricity and skip the intermediate hydrogen? If you notice big oil companies have commercials touting their research interest in hydrogen fuels. The reason why they’re so big on it is because the know its not going to be practical for another 20-30 years (until a hydrogen infrastructure is in place). We’ll ll be driving electric cars by then.

Its nice and necessary that people still search for different ways to produce hydrogen in order to have a sufficient energy source to meet automobile needs. But we still have the problem that its on the one hand whey too expensive to create and transport the stuff to the customer whos driving a hydrogen cell which has still quite bad effectiveness not saying anything about the lifetime of these. Well theres still a long way to go – keep up!

This IS IT!!! this stuff should be the fuel of the future, let’s do away with fossil fuels ASAP!

In order to replace fossil fuels, the hydrogen will have to be produced at a very high rate. In addition, it will preferably not require exotic technology so as to keep the capital costs down. I am not at all optimistic sunlight can be captured at sufficient rates to replace our current energy consumption. However, I am optimistic that through proper energy conservation we can produce enough energy to meet our needs. We just won’t be able to waste it the way we currently do.

I think this is the best news I have heard in many years. I have always thought that our answers or solutions for oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide are already being accomplished by nature. What’s our problem? I thought we (man) was smarter than a tree.

I guess not, right now anyway.

Thanks,
