H2O Power

	H2O Power ? Part I of II Will it ever be possible to separate the hydrogen and oxygen elements in water (H2O) inexpensively?
By Robert Franklin July 20, 2008 (First published: June 1, 2006)

This article H2O Power, Part I of II may sound a little esoteric or even like rocket science, but whatever you wish to call it there is still no cost effective way to manufacture hydrogen for general use. Reason being is because it takes around the same amount of energy from another source of power to separate (split) the hydrogen and oxygen elements in water (H2O). However, once an easy inexpensive way of doing so is devised, then it will have a major impact on virtually every form of transportation that exist today. The only thing standing in our way is the invention of a revolutionary H2O separation device, membrane, catalyst, splitter or whatever title it will eventually be given.

Directly below is a list of energy types that fuel transportation, power generators, cooking, heating and cooling. Of those items, the ones listed as alternative energies should be pursued for current and future use. Items listed as polluting, volatile and/or extremely dangerous should be avoided.‡

‡List is incomplete because all possible energy types are not included.

The most promising energy types listed above for future long-term use are:
   1: Any environmental friendly, interference and pollution-free alternative energy.
   2: H2O Power for land and water transportation.
   3: Gravity/anti-gravity engines for land, deep-sea, air and space travel.
          Note: H2O Power could be used for deep-sea, air and spacecraft, though less practical.
   4: Teleporter machines for travel anywhere that transmission facilities can access.

H2O 'Water Fuel' Powered Vehicle†
(to be available by the year 2060 or sooner)

An H2O powered vehicle would use pollution-free water (H2O) as its only source of fuel, not pollution creating gasoline and/or biofuels, batteries, volatile compressed gas, or oxygen eating fuel cells that use chemical mixtures, petroleum and/or synthetic-based fuels to power an electric motor. By economically separating the hydrogen and oxygen elements in water safely, on demand, the two elements could then be put to work in an ignitable fluid/gas state called "fire water" as it recombines to power a 100% pollution-free internal-combustion engine.†† The only byproduct from this process would be heat and recyclable water as exhaust.

†† If rings are worn then engine may burn oil.

What should we do prior to H2O Power being developed?

● We should continue to strive toward improving and using the following:
        ● Wind, hydropower, solar electric and geothermal power.
                Note 1: Wind Turbines are slowly becoming the primary energy source of the future
               with the help of backup power plants during non-windy time periods. Only one percent
               of America's power comes from Wind Turbines.^
                Note 2: Wind Turbines that are utilized to produce hydrogen gas would have storage
               tanks in which the hydrogen product would still be available to utility companies,
               including power plants, during non-windy time periods.^
                Note 3: Wind Turbines generate electrical power at about 50% less per kilowatt than
               nuclear power plants, which means the savings can be passed back to the customer,
                however in recent years the price and time period to build new nuclear power plants have
                lowered.
                Note 4: Mini-hydro (small hydro/micro hydro/pico hydro) dams have the ability to provide
                much of the needed electricity without many of the restrictions imposed on larger dams.
                Note 5: New geothermal technology shows signs of hope, but beware of humanmade
                earthquake tremors. Related link.
        ● Solar Hot Water Panels.
        ● Hybrid Electric engines, fuel cell and battery technologies.
                Note 1: Hybrid Electric technology can be used for light vehicles, trucks, buses and
                trains while at the same time delivering better mileage and cleaner emissions ― especially
                when synthetic fuels are used (see ethanol below).
               Note 2: Hybrid Electric vehicles using diesel engines provide the needed power and reliability
               for heavier payloads.
               Note 3: Although Hybrid Electric vehicles offer better fuel economy, stringent emission
               standards still need to be enforced.
                Note 4: Hybrid Electric vehicles with plug-in electric capability that recharges the vehicle
               battery while the vehicle is idle will help reduce gasoline/gas consumption even further.
                Note 5: Hybrid Electric technology consumes on average about 50% less fuel and that
               percentage in savings is increased even further with plug-in electric capability.
                Note 6: Lithium-ion battery technology is advancing to a point where the next-generation
                lithium-ion batteries becoming available within a year will be less likely to overheat or explode
                while at the same time offering longer battery life, will be less expensive to produce, have the
                ability to charge faster, and will deliver nearly twice as much charged power than today's
                lithium-ion battery. Moreover, hybrid electric vehicles will soon have the capability of
               producing more horsepower and torque than conventional gasoline powered engines.

                Note 7: Fuel cells that use petroleum or synthetic-based fuels will reduce dependency
                from foreign oil and help lower greenhouse gas emissions (see ethanol below).
                Note 8: Fuel cells that use hydrogen fuel have near 0% emissions.
                    Related link: http://www.chevrolet.com/fuelcell/
        ● Hydrogen gas.
                Note 1: Existing natural gas lines could be used to transport hydrogen gas.^
                Note 2: An infrastructure designed to transport compressed hydrogen gas by sea, truck
                and/or rail on a large scale would be costly and dangerous.^
                Note 3: Careful evaluation should be made before using compressed hydrogen gas
                powered vehicles due to their volatility toward fire and explosion.^
        ● Waste Incinerators with stringent emission standards.
                Note: Waste incinerators using plasma arc technology will help reduce emissions
                produced by landfills and reduce the amount of toxins, and sludge dumped into streams,
                rivers, lakes, and oceans while at the same time producing electricity, and steam for
                nearby communities, and businesses, and slag for roads, and construction materials.
        ● Ethanol and biodiesel synthetic fuels, especially cellulosic ethanol in areas
            where sugar cane does not readily grow.
                Note 1: Synthetic fuel production and usage is more polluting than petroleum fuels, however
                domestic production of synthetic fuel may help some countries from relying on foreign oil.
                Note 2: Cellulosic ethanol holds major promise in eliminating demand for fossil fuels and
                reducing air pollution, but not until enzymes (yeasts) are developed that will inexpensively
                breakdown sugars locked inside agricultural byproducts and yard waste.
        ● Clean burning natural gas, coal gas and nascent coal-to-energy technologies.
                Note: Storage of carbon and mercury from nascent coal-to-energy technologies may be
                problematic.
        ● Nuclear fission power.
                Note 1: Nuclear power plants can be used to produce vast amounts of hydrogen gas.
                Note 2: Storage of spent nuclear material poses risks, however technologies of the future
                will most likely allow us to neutralize their radioactive properties.
                Note 3: Nuclear power poses enormous risks if possessed by radical regimes and/or
                terrorist groups.

How will the creation of H2O Power effect our way of life?

● The United Nations should consider taxing profits from H2O Power technology to subsidize
    those affected by its invention and to prevent any price gouging by its initial inventor. Savings that
    are achieved by less environmental damage, lower insurance premiums and drastically lower fuel
    costs would provide an additional source of tax revenue.
● Coal and oil industry workers who are impacted by hydrogen fuel production should be subsidized
    with profits from lower electricity costs and gains from less pollution. Providing those workers with
    training and job opportunities in hydrogen production is one way of accomplishing that goal.
● Demand for carbon-based fuels will not end suddenly when H2O Power is invented.
● Atmospheric conditions and climate may take over five-hundred years to revert back to normal
    after we stop using pollution creating fuels and curtail habits that add to pollution.
● Radical ideas could be used to speedup the healing process of our earth's atmosphere and to
    help control our planet's climate.

Overview:

● From what was discussed above hydrogen power will be the fuel of the future, including
    economically produced H2O water fuel after future innovations warrants its arrival.
    Furthermore, gravity/anti-gravity engines and a variety of preatomic*** energies that will
    be developed later this century will provide further sources of energies upon their
    innovation.
● Hydrogen fuel can be produced in vast amounts by emission free Wind Turbines, efficient
    solar cells, hydropower and geothermal power plants. Carbon dioxide emissions can be
    completely eliminated when hydrogen is produced from these sources. Moreover,
    electricity and hydrogen gas produced by Wind Turbines cost about 50% less per kilowatt
    than when created by nuclear power. (Note: In recent years the price and time period to build
    new nuclear power plants have lowered.)
● Hydrogen can also be extracted from anything that contains hydrocarbons; including
    gasoline, natural gas, biomass, landfill gas, methanol, ethanol, methane, propane and
    coal-based gas, to name a few. Regulated air pollutants such as sulfur and nitrogen
    oxides, carbon monoxide, and unburned hydrocarbons are nearly absent from these
    sources.
● Fuel cell technology such as: proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM), phosphoric
    acid fuel cells (PAFC), molten carbonate fuel cells and solid oxide fuel cells are some
    of the fuel cells currently in use, or under research. Fuel cell modules can be installed
    as needed on sites without investing in large remote power plants and new high
    voltage lines.
● Currently with greenhouse gases ever increasingly warming our planet, more forest fires
    are being caused directly because of global warming, which is having a snowball effect.
    As temperatures increase more greenhouse gases are being released into the
    atmosphere that would otherwise remain frozen underground or remain in the ice.
● Finally, the construction of new nuclear power plants should be considered as a last option
    after all other forms of generating power from alternative energies have been exhausted.

H2O Power, Part II of II will be released when the book; (book title to be announced) is published.
