MIT Professor Dan Nocera believes he can solve the worlds energy problems with an Olympic-sized pool of water. Nocera and his research team have identified a simple technique for powering the Earth inexpensively by using the sun to split water and store energy - making the large-scale deployment of personalized solar energy possible.

  • This hugely imporatnt invention must be accessable for everyone! Open source! thanks to Dr.Nocera and his students!

    Join the Zeitgeist Movement and let's change this world for the better, for all of us, no-one excluded! A.K.A. true freedom!

  • 4 dislikes.... hmm, a couple of oil barons have watched this too ;)

  • dont use this technology, you will be considered terrorists for it.

    your kind overlord.

  • What about conservation? 

  • @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.

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • hihi komme aus münchen

  • His cobalt -based catalyst used in the artificial leaf is ingenious!!!!!!

  • This seems like a joint Borg-Goa'uld technology

  • 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.

  • We need to remove the Rothschild controlled cancer that infests this world first , remove them & all their powerful stooges. Then the road is clear foe REAL progress
