Saudi proverb. "My father rode a camel. I drive a car. My son flies a jet airplane. His son will ride a camel."

Bump

If the Bushter and congress would spend 1/1000 of the dough they're blowing on murdering people in Iraq on developing new ways of powering our civilization instead, we probably wouldn't have to go all over the world murdering people so we can steal their shit.

New process generates hydrogen from aluminum alloy to run engines, fuel cells

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -

Researchers demonstrate method for producing hydrogen

A Purdue University engineer has developed a method that uses an aluminum alloy to extract hydrogen from water for running fuel cells or internal combustion engines, and the technique could be used to replace gasoline.

The method makes it unnecessary to store or transport hydrogen - two major challenges in creating a hydrogen economy, said Jerry Woodall, a distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue who invented the process.


"The hydrogen is generated on demand, so you only produce as much as you need when you need it," said Woodall, who presented research findings detailing how the system works during a recent energy symposium at Purdue.

The technology could be used to drive small internal combustion engines in various applications, including portable emergency generators, lawn mowers and chain saws. The process could, in theory, also be used to replace gasoline for cars and trucks, he said.

But murdering people is just so much fun, and it gives guys like Bush a big woodie. So it must be hard to stop.

Sorry hydrogen will not save us.

We have a lot of oil just need to drill it.

Sorta sounds like the quote attributed to Einstein...


"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)

Where? Alaska? If we soaked up every drop of oil out of Alaska it would last the U.S. about 6 mos to a year

True

Enviorweenies won't let us drill offshore anymore. If we could, gas would be $1.50 a gallon right now.

Not without a great increase in refining capacity.

Which is artificially kept low to increase profits.

You know this how, exactly.

Because you watched a video?

What does a peak oil video have to do with producing on demand hydrogen fuel using aluminum alloys?

Many have discovered methods of producing hydrogen, yes it could free us all.

the time is near

Albert Einstein said he did not know what weapons would be used in World War 3, but in World War 4 it would be fought with sticks and stones

a bit of research is in order there...

there are two known reserves that would run the entire U.S. for perhaps a 100 yrs.

there is more oil in the 'off limits' areas in alaska/arctic circle than can be imaginable.

not to mention offshore areas that are 'offlimits'. Many known reserves there as well.

the world is no where near running out of oil.

i think the saudi quote may be true...but not due to running out of oil...they are not even close to running out of oil in the next 40 yrs...two generations.

the modern age will end. get ready for it.

hydrogen is a great alternative...but still expensive to produce.

the aluminum method, mixed with gallium, is great...but it takes alot of energy to reduce the aluminum back to metal to be reused . (it oxidizes to aluminum hydroxide in the process)

yes. very true.

Enviro Nut Jobs won't allow permits to go through to allow more refineries to be constructed. (i know this from experience)

radical terrorist environmentalism is the greatest threat the integrity of the U.S.

We?
