Why would you use an energy source to split water to make hydrogen when you loose half the energy in the process. You are better off using the original electricity and putting it directly into what you want to run as an end product. Great sales pitch though. I'm surprised he's on TED....
@MrEnergyCzar The novelty of this tech. is that you are using the excess power from the solar panels (which would otherwise go to waste) to produce Hydrogen. At night, the fuel cells would kick in to produce the needed electricity. This would allow a house to become (in theory) independent from energy companies. It is true that 50% efficiency isn't great, but as said the energy would otherwise go to waste.
Overpopulation is such an obnoxious lie. God said we should multiply and replenish the Earth. He never placed a limit on the number of people. He said we must be as many as the stars in sky and as many as the sand on the sea shore.
Resources are not scarce. There is an infinite supply of everything. That is so because there is God. God is the One Who created everything out of nothing. When we need more land, He gives us more land. When we need more water, He will give us more water.
Personalized energy is great idea and could very well be the answer to this whole economic disaster, but I doubt very much that the Political-Oil-Military-Industrial-Complex would agree. Chances are they will fight this as hard as they fight the Iraq and Afghanistan resistance. Perhaps coming soon, the Iranian resistance all to keep profit margins high and energy distribution centralized and difficult to personalize.

@DefenderOfLogic He was advocating female education in the third world, not mocking them. Perhaps you misheard him. He says at 7:30 "They all blog me to death about being an awful and evil hu(man). I would want to educate poor females. Wow. Okay, you educate poor females, birth rates drop like a rock. If you want to make a big impact on energy and you don't know what to do, start educating poor females"
Interesting talk, but what is he talking about when he says batteries can't get better? They are constantly getting better every year. Tesla built the Roadster pack with 2.2 amp hour 18650 format cells, their upcoming Model S will have 3 amp hour or larger cells in the same 18650 form factor, and Panasonic is testing 4 amp hour cells in the same form factor. That's significant improvement, and there are many other companies working on many other variations.
As if you could not get the electrical output and use it to power the electrolysis. But then you gotta deal with the nay sayers who claim violation of the first law of thermodynamics. Of course the law still applies, but the bonds in water molecules are the real source of energy - not the minute amount of solar generated electricity used to "fracture" the water molecules. You get more energy out of a fission reaction than you put in. The law remains in tact. nuclear vs inter-molecular bonds.
@spasmoid1971 This has nothing to do with fission. Those "nay sayers" would be correct, you can't get energy from nowhere, and there's no energy to be gotten from the bonds in water molecules. If you electrolysed water and recombined it, you'd get no extra energy. What Daniel Nocera is suggesting is using solar energy to split water and store the energy in hydrogen as a fuel.
Wow. And no mention of Stan Meyers, the godfther of this technology. The pagerists are not half as talented as Mr Meyers, and he didn't need a peice of paper from an educational institution.

@Yam139 When the sun heats the water, it is giving energy to the water, which makes the water break into two components: Oxygen and Hydrogen. Because water molecule is more stable, those components are going through the same process but this time the process is the opposite and so it produces energy. As it shows in the presentation at 15:26, you see that the process of forming water "produces" 237KJ/molecule. Each liter contains many molecules, and it produces 13 million J of energy. So a pool..
@jakejus1 I know how it works, it's just annoying that he acts like because the required volume is small, somehow that makes his work amazing. All that means is water is a stable molecule. The important part is how to actually split it, which is an extremely complex process we don't fully understand, requiring lots of energy (eg solar panels much bigger than your roof) and costly/unstable catalyst systems. I think you know, but it's not just a matter of "heating" the water..
yeah... energy shouldn't be in market places... It should be in our homes and in our facilities. That's what's killing us on a economic standing... and the market itself is going to crash, since humanity is never naturally revolving around a monetary system obviously. Wake up people.
@KSternb Have you done research about his process before knocking on it?

Do some research...he has already published papers. Some PHD you are...
I see one problem, in 00:57, there is a slide with energy resources, the solar supplies 800TW (practical) of energy and consumption will be 30TW by 2050. This means, if we use only sun we need 30/800 of the earth surface only to collect the sun energy. It is about 4%...

It is hard for me to focus on the rest of your lecture because I am poor and I am female, and I don't know if you just a dick or what. Did you mean offer a free college or h.s. education for poor females or were you referring to pregnancy prevention education?
@LovinLearnin i think what he meant is that an educated woman, statistically tends to have less children than an uneducated woman... which is not so much true on its own value... but coupled with abundance of ressources (Wealth) it is true as women tend to have less children on average if they are educated and wealthy
@2Draco39 No one will ever stop females from having sex, and having babies, educated or not. It is in us and who we are, what we need is a bigger pot (space) to grow in and smarter scholars to solve the problems. It is a beautiful thing to grow a life within and love him/her to adulthood. This IS life and should be protected not condemned. I felt attacked for having children, loving my children, being female and being poor. This is sex and economic discrimination.
@LovinLearnin you shouldn't have the need to feel offended; nobody blames you for having children i hope, and some are probably encouraging females to have sex :). but always finding a bigger pot looks to me like we are nothing more than unintelligent viruses reproducing until the pot is full, searching for the next pot won't cover our needs as we arithmetically approach a dead line. We would be wandering warlike aliens destroying one planet after the next and more and more in times to come...
@2Draco39 would you kill your mother slowly with poison and taking her organs away to get money... then search for a new one and kill her to, then killthe next and so on... now think of spaceships like oiltankers but bigger and thousands of them in a fleet flying through the universe... and think of every time this fleet comes to a planet they reproduce like one child per year and even while in space they reproduce once every 10 years... they will have to build a new fleet and send their
@2Draco39 children away as it is not sustainable, and now we have two fleets... and both are going in opposite directions... and they both find new planets and do it again... and here we have four fleets already and it goes on and on until there are only cannibal fleets fighting each other in a universe of death
We as intelligent lifeforms have the ability to vehemently control our enviroment and ourselves as we see with the ongoing destruction. but we can create to sustain too. this is the key
@2Draco39 I agree with you about not destroying our mother earth, or other life sustaining planets. I think we need to transcend our ego's need for domination...and learn to live in a loving manner to all species/plants including ourselves. I think scholars need to continue busting their brains and females need to evolve in love and hopefully raise higher conscious generations to come. I know the kids today are way more sensitive to animals and our environment. Our evolution is inevitable.
@DuctapePenguin He says the bi-product of the hydrogen production is purified water so that implicitly means you could use non-purified water as source.
This idea is almost too good to be true as it solves a million problems simultaneously with extreme elegance, I hope they can pull this one through. I'm just worried the powers that be won't allow it. This is clearly one of those occasions when we the people should protect an idea at all cost.
you can focus a group of mirrors on a solar collector (sodium) and power the entire U.S.A energy needs with 2 arrays. End of story. This has already been proven. I think the study looked at putting one in the AZ dessert and another one on the east coast. You could scale down and put one in every state, using the existing grid.
@DefenderOfLogic why should you be offended ? Uneducated young women control their own reproduction not the men ! So what its not p.c.? Ever see the starving to death 3 rd world children ? ....its not a problem that is going to be solved by politically correct thinking. All you need to do is study the farm model......
So where is it? its been 2 years! dont get me wrong i like it i want it! Here is a question for ya though,,, instead of 8000 Nuk plants i guess you need 6 billion fuel cells? and hope that sharp is throwing out 24 billion pv panels. Are there enough resourses for that?

It's funny to see these YouTube commenters talking about how Big Oil or the government is going to stop him. This kind of technology is easily a whole century away from commercialization and marketability, well beyond the point where all economical fossil fuels reserves will have been emptied.
@Agitpropist First off, it's a brilliant idea that could only have been produced by the genius that is Dr. Nocera. The cheap catalyst is a great invention. But any hydrogen proposal will require tons of electricity. The reason it's 100 years away is that there must be an extremely cheap source of electricity, like fusion. It cannot be solar PV because it will always be either too expensive or require too much land to be sustainable (though space-based solar would solve both of those barriers).
@bobstevefrank123 In the full version of this presentation Dr. Nocera explains how with current technology he could build a system that would power a household for $85,000; that would be using PVs covering about half the average sized roof. The hydrogen simply acts as a storage medium; and forget fuel cells, they're unnecessary. Electrolysis and compression is not as energy intensive as you may think.
@bobstevefrank123 Oke and there comes in the "Zero point energy'' this is an already proven concept. If the Oil companys were not holding it back this was already developt to full more than 10 jrs ago !
@bobstevefrank123 I sympathise with your frustration at the conspiracy theory nuts, but don't you think the 100 year estimate is a little pessimistic? This technology isn't new, after all, it's origins are rooted in the 70s. Nocera's contribution was to make a CHEAP and ROBUST catalyst to split the water, as opposed to the short lived ones in the past made from rare, expensive materials. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but it seems pretty damn close to being marketable.
the process of electrolytic dissolution of water into the primary elements is very old. Dan Dingle in the philippines has been doing it for about twenty years. Stanley Meyer was murdered for his "fracturization" tech. system being set to become mainstream and sold in kit form. Wasser disintegration was refined down to a science by Germany during WW2. This information was totally suppressed by oil industry and banks. Scarcity drives the market, abundance is the enemy of profit.
This guy is too good for this world. He has given his invention for energy from H2O to MIT. He is anti-war, anti-waste, anti-pollution. He is an enemy of the state! God protect him.
cars can be outfitted w/the system 4 running solely on water or using the system just 2raise mpg in gas cars, cheap and easy...they also come in kits for cars. some people are installing them, others build their own. this is THE answer and an upside not mentioned is that the only emission is water...clean water...and as its used in a car for example, it cleans up the air. If there were ever a reason to get rowdy en masse, this is it.
remember that we are using more more more more water for the refining the oil. So not only he resolve the problem of energy he also resolve the problem of water. If u dont want to use normal water u can even use pee. This is insane this is a huge invention.
per second? We would get global water shortages, even in the oceans, within 100-200 years. Not ALL of it goes back to water. Even this can cause problems used on a global scale like suggested
Look up Tesla's tech, he found a way without any fuel at all.. well actually a few ways. Solar panels for personal use aren't as useless as he paints it either
@Gameguru667: well, when you separate water and then put it back together ALL does go back to water, doesn't it? Essentially this is a closed loop with the water vapor coming out being used again to start the process...and even if you don't catch the vapor: the water system is a closed loop itsself: any vapor released into the sky comes down as rain...so: no water shortages there.
Most legacy countries (Australia for one; yes we sell lots of coal too..) are gearing up for this scenerio as we speak.
I consult for domestic PV systems (installed with Fed. govt. rebates and encouraged with feed in multiplier tarrifs) that can easily be retro fitted in future to incorporate fuel sell technology.
This WILL work!! Just watched him speak at UofL with a more technical lecture, and he appears to have the backing of several BIG corporations...GE,HP,Exxon-Mobil, etc. These companies can still sell the components to the legacy world, but with personalized energy they now can have inroads into the non-legacy world too. With all that profit to be made, why would the corporations every want to shut it down?
Great! But there's one more thing besides water and sun to "deal with" - the DOE and corporate thugs who will suppress this just like they have suppressed all other clean and/or free energies for a century.... unless there are wealthy individuals with a conscience, and regular Joes with a few bucks each to kick in, and we can spread this news and encourage MASSIVE production of these things to override the suppression and get this going. They can't make thousands of people "commit suicide."
awesome. Amazing innovation like this makes the bleak condition of the current world a bit more hopeful. This stuff along with the knowledge in TED talks should lead to a totally different world by 2050 if we can get these things implemented. Big corporate will do everything to keep us from progress:(.
dont use this technology, you will be considered terrorists for it.

@bobstevefrank123 Actually, it's not that complicated.

@Agitpropist First off, it's a brilliant idea that could only have been produced by the genius that is Dr. Nocera. The cheap catalyst is a great invention. But any hydrogen proposal will require tons of electricity. The reason it's 100 years away is that there must be an extremely cheap source of electricity, like fusion. It cannot be solar PV because it will always be either too expensive or require too much land to be sustainable (though space-based solar would solve both of those barriers).

@bobstevefrank123 In the full version of this presentation Dr. Nocera explains how with current technology he could build a system that would power a household for $85,000; that would be using PVs covering about half the average sized roof. The hydrogen simply acts as a storage medium; and forget fuel cells, they're unnecessary. Electrolysis and compression is not as energy intensive as you may think.

@bobstevefrank123 Oke and there comes in the "Zero point energy'' this is an already proven concept. If the Oil companys were not holding it back this was already developt to full more than 10 jrs ago !

@bobstevefrank123 I sympathise with your frustration at the conspiracy theory nuts, but don't you think the 100 year estimate is a little pessimistic? This technology isn't new, after all, it's origins are rooted in the 70s. Nocera's contribution was to make a CHEAP and ROBUST catalyst to split the water, as opposed to the short lived ones in the past made from rare, expensive materials. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but it seems pretty damn close to being marketable.

the process of electrolytic dissolution of water into the primary elements is very old. Dan Dingle in the philippines has been doing it for about twenty years. Stanley Meyer was murdered for his "fracturization" tech. system being set to become mainstream and sold in kit form. Wasser disintegration was refined down to a science by Germany during WW2. This information was totally suppressed by oil industry and banks. Scarcity drives the market, abundance is the enemy of profit.

This guy is too good for this world. He has given his invention for energy from H2O to MIT. He is anti-war, anti-waste, anti-pollution. He is an enemy of the state! God protect him.

Sounds great ! Where are the plans for the electrolyzer?

YOU Can still find stanley meyers plans online.
cars can be outfitted w/the system 4 running solely on water or using the system just 2raise mpg in gas cars, cheap and easy...they also come in kits for cars. some people are installing them, others build their own. this is THE answer and an upside not mentioned is that the only emission is water...clean water...and as its used in a car for example, it cleans up the air. If there were ever a reason to get rowdy en masse, this is it.

The big Oil corporations are trying their best to stop free energy ideas from spreading to common ppl.
We need to put an end to this corruption ,start generating your own electricity now.

remember that we are using more more more more water for the refining the oil. So not only he resolve the problem of energy he also resolve the problem of water. If u dont want to use normal water u can even use pee. This is insane this is a huge invention.

per second? We would get global water shortages, even in the oceans, within 100-200 years. Not ALL of it goes back to water. Even this can cause problems used on a global scale like suggested
Look up Tesla's tech, he found a way without any fuel at all.. well actually a few ways. Solar panels for personal use aren't as useless as he paints it either
Gameguru667 1 year ago
@Gameguru667: well, when you separate water and then put it back together ALL does go back to water, doesn't it? Essentially this is a closed loop with the water vapor coming out being used again to start the process...and even if you don't catch the vapor: the water system is a closed loop itsself: any vapor released into the sky comes down as rain...so: no water shortages there.

Most legacy countries (Australia for one; yes we sell lots of coal too..) are gearing up for this scenerio as we speak.
I consult for domestic PV systems (installed with Fed. govt. rebates and encouraged with feed in multiplier tarrifs) that can easily be retro fitted in future to incorporate fuel sell technology.
This is the future, happening now.

This WILL work!! Just watched him speak at UofL with a more technical lecture, and he appears to have the backing of several BIG corporations...GE,HP,Exxon-Mobil, etc. These companies can still sell the components to the legacy world, but with personalized energy they now can have inroads into the non-legacy world too. With all that profit to be made, why would the corporations every want to shut it down?

Great! But there's one more thing besides water and sun to "deal with" - the DOE and corporate thugs who will suppress this just like they have suppressed all other clean and/or free energies for a century.... unless there are wealthy individuals with a conscience, and regular Joes with a few bucks each to kick in, and we can spread this news and encourage MASSIVE production of these things to override the suppression and get this going. They can't make thousands of people "commit suicide."

awesome. Amazing innovation like this makes the bleak condition of the current world a bit more hopeful. This stuff along with the knowledge in TED talks should lead to a totally different world by 2050 if we can get these things implemented. Big corporate will do everything to keep us from progress:(.
