Gosh, isn’t the ProCon site a great one?

What? Oh, sorry, you’re yet to be introduced to it?

It’s an educational site that presents both sides of the coin of controversial social issues. If your school is not using it, look into it now.

The latest Procon issue is around the question “Can alternative energy effectively replace fossil fuels?”

AlternateEnergySources.com was delighted to be asked to contribute to it. Here you can find Pro and Con statements by various invited commentators.

For UK edicators, there’s Taecanet, bringing quality content into the classroom. Alternate Energy Sources.com is also a proud content provider for this innovative web-based learning in the classroom.

Free hydrogen?

Anyway, I found an intriguing comment there from a representative of Genysis LLC who claim to have found, and patented a breakthrough process in renewable hydrogen generating technology. A carbon-neutral process which generates its own electricity.

This process is contrary to existing means of releasing hydrogen from water through electrolysis, where an external power source (often fossil fuels) is needed to fire the process.

The best example of clean hydrogen I can think of is that of Iceland’s hydrogen-powered fishing fleet, where the electricility to make the hydrogen comes from its own, easily accessible,  geothermal resources.

The world regularly hears from people who claim to have found the Holy Grail of alternative energy. Is this it?

Here’s a quote:

Water has the highest concentration of hydrogen of any known, stable, non-carbon substance. RET requires little energy in order to generate hydrogen from water. RET operates at room temperature, is scaleable and carbon neutral. The principle of this technology relies on the unique properties of the oxygen-hydrogen bond. By using electromagnetic radiation tuned to the O-H bond energy, RET breaks the bond with a minimal amount of energy. The rate of hydrogen production using this technology far exceeds that of electrolytic processes. The RET process generates its own electricity whereas electrolysis must obtain electrical energy from external sources, such as fossil fuels, to operate. The capital costs associated with RET are envisioned to be much smaller than with electrolysis process equipment.

Who knows what Google will think of this? “Why should they be interested”, you ask…  Well, Google is considered a corporate leader in this area .

But  paradoxically it has also put a kind of Big Brother stop to advertising for HHO energy-saving devices. HHO is also called Brown’s gas and is a highly combustible product from electrolysis of water. A grassroots application of hydrogen in water. Google decided it would no longer allow advertising for it, presumably because they thought it a bad product.

I don’t. Read about HHO gas and applications for vehicles, machinery and homes here. It does work.
