Splitting Water into Hydrogen Fuel

[foozbong]

They say the car explosions in movies aren't really what happens when the tanks is damaged....

[woodall69]

we store only water and Al and no hydrogen; using any electrical energy on a vehicle is brain damaged. I make no sense to derate electrical energy or electrical power to hydrogen

[Me102288]

looks like your storing it = very very dangerous. Hydrogen on demand is more on demand, not from a tank..

and the only device capable of CONSTANT output is electrolysys right now, you know the alternater in a vehicle produces more the enough power to run a car, all of its electronics, and still has leftover power.. its much more simple, electricity, couple pieces of metal and water.. :-\

[faerydhhlo]

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.

[woodall69]

Al has a total energy density of 8.8 KWh/kg half of which is combustible hydrogen gas. So, you need to size your application and how you are going use the energy.

use the Hall process, i.e. electrolysis, to regenerate the Al. There is 400 billion kg of scrap metal Al lying on the planet surface. This is enough to generate the entire US electricity consumption for 2 years. This Al is essentially free. Very little added energy needed to make the alloy that splits water.

[j912618]

How much aluminum do we have to carry on board?

And how are we recycling the aluminum again? That required temperatures that are far in excess of current concentrated solar power technology, In likelihood it would have to be reduced...by either C or methane...resulting in carbon dioxide ... that is, if we want to recycle it. That having been said, most of the aluminum out there is already in oxidized form, so we would have to put in a large amount of energy just to make it usable....

[conandrum74]

are you still in opetration? Your website seems to be down.

[CapnCanard]

I first heard of this on NPR, Ira Flatow's Science Friday, May 1997. This really a great find, but the powers that be have a great deal to lose, so that is a big hurdle.

[worldismine69]

Hello

I wan go bought a small amount of gallon to di this can you give me some info

[elcochipit]

The goal here is to catch as much "free ocurring energy" wee can (wind, solar, geothermal, sea tide, water falls, etc...)

And using Hidrogen as "energy container" is a must.

Let´s save chemicals compunds (oil, coal, biomather, etc..) to other uses....

Do science or die!

[plane15man]

when you think about it, there is no such thing as clean coal. Coal is carbon, no matter how you process it, you will still have carbon

[WoWGodMage]

Kudos Professor! =) I'm sure the owners of oil wells worldwide are paying off auto makers to keep this from being developed commercially, paying off governments to keep them investing in the wrong direction, etc.

Why not make a presentation to the Gates Foundation? Or Warren Buffet, Larry Ellison, Paul Allen, etc. Each one alone has enough money to drive this entire thing to full fruition.

[blackle4ps3]

hydrogen viewed the making of this mostly on youtube hydrogen more flammable than gas so maybe introduce steam pressure into electric hydrogen maker to increase output if one wants to add chemicals maybe introduce after bubblier calcium or sodium carbide a human made material there are other factors that can be used such as high voltage converters and magnetism,ect

[blackle4ps3]

Yucca mountain high radioactive waste storage site proposal to increase from 70,000 to 500,000 tons possibly 750,000 tons there's plenty of it though the previous comment seems to be a duplicate comment will post comment on this hydrogen topic

[blackle4ps3]

nuclear power isn't a clean way to make energy when the cells are spent they become highly radioactive waste with a poisonous halflife of 240,000 plus years and when you get 500,000 plus tons of it on a planet this size your just asking for trouble or quite probably extinction of all life on planet if anything interacts with this soup bowl earth maybe need to stop worrying about air pollution like carbon dioxide with 7 day halflife and focus on neutralising radioactive waste

[codejunki567]

each reactor has mearly 10 grams of radioactive material so i dont know where your going with 500,000 tons of it. lucky if we could even make all that much

[22mirkwood]

I didn't think anybody knew Holst.

[woodall69]

Sorry I couldn't find a better online free performance. I own three different versions, but I did not use them because I am a stickler about not infringing copyright laws.

[hadr0n]

its a nice idea and could probably be used as the basis for a fuel cell also. However there are two problems I forsee: 1. Gallium is quite rare and is esential for the production of semiconductors so supply could be a problem. 2. Without vast changes to infrastructure the production of the Aluminium-Gallium alloys will have to rely on fossil fuels for the time being. Can you give me some links to more info?

[andrewalv]

liar it dosent work fake

[Lichlord]

You form aluminum hydroxide (bauxite), not aluminum oxide, when you oxidize aluminum in water. This reaction does consume water unlike what the video says at 3:50.

[woodall69]

You are correct! Actually, the equilibrium phase is aluminum hydroxide also known as Bayerite. We are currently looking at the reaction product when we run it without an excess of water. Nonetheless, we still get 1.5 moles of hydrogen gas for every mole of Al that reacts with water.

[fuelfromwater69]

The only thing wrong that I saw in the equation was O3...isn't that Ozone? please help me understand that your device is not promoting Ozone..?

[woodall69]

There is no ozone involved. The equation states that we need react three oxygen atoms (3/2 oxygen molecules plus 3 hydrogen gas molecules to make 3 molecules of water. This can be done by combustion of hydrogen gas in air or by reaction in a fuel cell.

[Avalanche2]

No, I dont care.

[bundaiz]

dude there is a hydrgen powered car in the philippines ,unfortunateley the inovation was sold to japan

[NiCkMmovies]

This is amazing technology. Please Please Please Please Please Please Please doent sell the patents to an oil / any other company

technology that will save the human race

[BumSlave]

This video is epic. Imagine we can get this kind of research fully funded. Now imagine I did not used the word imagine and the beginning of the previous sentence.

Nothing is impossible :)

[python208]

well I agree that we should look for alt fuel sources but the worlds oil is not running out any time soon the fact liberal hippies decided back awhile ago that nuclear and off shore drilling were bad and deciding basically to let other countries monopolize an the oil and now they realised that they messed up and are now trying to pump every bodys head full of crap so liberls look good and the siencible repulbicans look bad and also global warming is not real it happens Naturally

[saintjames0]

im gonna say a name ((John Kanzius)) enough said all of you can go to hell if you dont build his goddamn invention for your self

[terrytenison]

well thought out video,

thanks for your time and effort to teach

[bimbolino14]

no no its a joke

[bimbolino14]

naziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[LyrumusX]

Stan Meyer's method actually has nothing to do with the resonant frequency of water. It works by treating the water cell as a capacitor, being that water is a dielectric fluid. Stan would pulse the cell with low amp current, low duty cycle and a decent voltage. There would be a diode that would stop the pulses from rebounding away from the cell. After maybe five pulses, the critical voltage was reached for the breakdown of the dielectric, which collapsed the e-field and current...

[diggleboy]

There are a few things from your experiment that are in common with these 'other' types of experiments. However, the 'others' have not been fully proven. I believe that the solution should be very simple, since a simple person with little science background was able to split H20 eficiently with very little power and simple electronics. Question is, what is stopping hundreds/thousands of people from recreating the same experiment and proving it works?

[woodall69]

Right.  A grade school student 13 years old repeated our experiment using his mothers oven in the kitchen and won first prize in a region science. This is not rocket science. The Meyer experiment works but with non practical efficiencies. Other than corn, algae or other crops, would you invest in something that gives a 1-2% energy conversion efficiency?

[diggleboy]

I did some research on Stan Meyer and a few others but will only stand behind the scientific facts. Your proven experiments are based on scientific fact. Any others haven't been as willing to step up to the plate to clearly explain the splitting of H20 by high voltage electrical oscillations at water's resonant frequency. I'm doing some more research and will try to reproduce the patents to verify. Jerry and others, have you done the same to see for yourself?

[woodall69]

I looked at about 20-30 patent relating to Al or splitting water. None of them looked interesting compared to our work. My stuff works and work well with no secret sauce, acids, bases, or hidden electrolysis.

[diggleboy]

Job 28 actually makes the prediction that water will be the most valuable commodity above all others at a crucial time. Read it for yourself and you'll see what I'm talking about...

[diggleboy]

Hi Jerry!

Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another. Doing this efficiently is the key. After stumbling on your presentation here on youtube and doing further learning from your website, I truly believe you have found one of, if not, the best solution to this energy challenge. Many may question it, but the math, the science, and the results will prove them wrong everytime.

It is safe and it is sound. Keep up the good work, Jerry!

[woodall69]

Wow, thanks for your note.  There is intelligent life on earth after all!

[woodall69]

Yes. Ga is expensive but we only use 3 wt % of and since it is inert we can recover it and use it many times. We don't use any electrolytic process. We simply add any kind of water to our bulk Al alloys and generate hydrogen on demand. There is 400 billion Kg of scrap Al on the planet so we don't even have to electrolyze alumina back to Al for the near future.

[DavidMJordan]

Sir. Gallium is expensive. Is it not too expensive? Is the Aluminium-Caustic Soda method more energy efficient than the Electrolytic method? How about 3 hoppers with a timer dispensing Caustic Soda, Aluminium and water into a mixer and the mixer emptying every 10mins or so?

[georgiahoosier]

The Gallium is inert in the reaction isn't it? So it will be recoverable after the reaction is complete. My question has to do with the longevity of the Aluminum, how much Al is required to release enough H to run an automobile the distance normally associated with a tank of gas? I'm just starting to research this so forgive me if that's a question I will answer for myself later. I don't understand anyone knocking this, it's a very simple reaction.

[georgiahoosier]

I saw your presentation and it answered my questions.

[woodall69]

It depends on what kind of car you are talking about. If you use the Chevy Equinox powered by fuel cells it will require 100 lbs of Al and 50 lbs of water at a 50% water reuse efficiency. The "knocking" part is our jab at DOE who won't fund it be our technology does not meet the 2015 goal of 9% on board hydrogen mass density.

[georgiahoosier]

Actually I was referring to people knocking your work and research here. Although the DOE needs a bit of knocking themselves, but I wouldn't look to government to solve any problems. Is a goal to keep the GaAl80 a solid when used? It seems to want to become a liquid at relatively low temperatures. Sorry for the dumb questions, only took 2 years of inorganic chemistry and that was 25 years ago

[georgiahoosier]

By the way, thank you for the quick answer!

[woodall69]

1. We are now using 95-5 Al-(Ga,In,Sn) solid chunks. Think of our stuff as coal without a carbon footprint.

2. Where is "here"/

[georgiahoosier]

"here" as in comments you have received on this YouTube comment section that are less than complimentary.

[woodall69]

Ha. Ha. I am very use to brutal criticism. I invented the lattice matched heterojunction in 1967 when I was at IBM research. My colleagues scorned this work at the time. However, I got the last laugh. There is is currently a world wide market of $10 billion for devices derived from my inventions using heterojunction including two in your cell phone. I received a National Medal of Technology for my work in 2002.

[vespacurry]

I believe I just read about the lattice matched heterojunction in a book I just finished, that is impressive stuff. So what are you doing now?

The book was by Robert Temple... he stated that the empty space in the universe has form and is most likely a grid of hexagons, at least he suspects this concept, if I understand his idea.

[nodanno]

But, hey, first class video production with all of the elements needed to convince the naive. Far better than any I've seen that make the same pitch for funds.

You hired a very good production copmpany to do that. How much did that cost you?

Anyhow, despite your lack of consience in your attempt to skin some people out of their hard earned bucks, this IS a first class production. So hey, thumbs up on the quality of the video production.

[woodall69]

Thanks. I am a professor at Purdue so we a few decent students and media folks hanging around......

[nodanno]

Now why did I know you were going to say something like that. It works fine but you need some money to get it going, huh? Get real guy! You and every other charlatan qwho has developed "free energy from water" processes and all of whom are being opposed by some kind of conspiracy. SNICKER!!!!

[woodall69]

Yes. The charlatans out there who love to violate the 1st law claiming they have created energy from nothing make life harder for those of who are legitimate. Yes, we require more electrical power to get alumina back to Al than we get out as hydrogen and heat.

[nodanno]

The obvious question is why not use that electricity directly instead of wasting ANY of it to reclaim the aluminum? You say, somewhere that currently the ratio is 50% energy output from the reclaimed Al. Which should "IMPROVE." Why bother? Even if electricity from non-polutting sources is used and the process improves to 100%, why not use that electrical energy instead of wasting ANY of it or any time and expense. "Curious minds need to know."... Ya know?

[woodall69]

Dear curious mind.

That's easy. First, Al has a 15-45 x higher energy density than batteries and a much lower cost per unit of energy, i.e. EVs that run only on batteries out there or on the drawing board, suck. Second, since batteries such, I don't have an extension cord long enough to run an electric engine between my house in Lafayette and the Indianapolis airport.

[nodanno]

Well... I'm waiting... you have obviously applied for a patent on this process and will soon be employing it... RIGHT?!

As I said, I'M WAITING! WHERE IS IT?!

[woodall69]

Good point. I am waiting too. Since this works, DOE is not interested in funding it. Since it will required investment to perfect the systems engineering, VCs are not interested. Our little company AlGalCo, has a standby power prototype that is being shown to customers but so far no purchase orders.

[oramtha]

Very Cool. But remember it was the skin of the hindenberg that we saw burn. Hydrogen burns at 40,000ft per sec. So we would of had a much better show that we got. Have you tried using the most common substance on earth Silicon and salt instead of aluminum?

[Opinionator52]

Why elploit aluminum? It is the least expensive way to make vehicles lighter.

Stanley Meyer's Hydrogen on demand system is inexpensive to build, or buy at the price he quoted $1500, and only requires almost free water to operate, with nothing to recycle afterward. It must be viable or he would most likely still be with us!

[90redgst]

Fuck off!!!

[Reverseflush]

look at me i'm on youtube, wooo!
