• Hydrogen is used safely all around you every day

    From Larry Dighera@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 3 07:56:04 2023
    Hey, Jim,

    Have a look at this video:
    https://youtu.be/Poy26bvSfS4?si=F0nh6-Xfp8ga0Jiy
    You've probably heard something about hydrogen. You may know hydrogen
    can be used to fuel vehicles, but did you know that clean, abundant
    hydrogen is used safely all around you every day? "Hydrogen: Nature's
    Fuel" shows hydrogen at work in warehouses, golf courses, and even
    breweries. The hydrogen used in these applications is made in a variety
    of ways from domestic sources. Hydrogen truly is nature's fuel. With
    hydrogen, we have the opportunity to create our own clean energy future.


    In particular this part: https://youtu.be/Poy26bvSfS4?si=_DQjroWvWf_MWOcf&t=1973

    What is your professional opinion about the potential for H2 fueling the future?

    Larry

    You mean other than it is very expensive, difficult to store and
    transport, and when burned in air creates huge amounts of NOx?

    "Hydrogen truly is nature's fuel." is childish dreck.

    While hydrogen in quanties sufficient to be mined have SUPPOSEDLY
    been discovered, it remains to be seen if that will ever happen.

    Methane, uranium, oil, coal etc. are ALL "nature's fuel".

    Jim,

    Thank you for taking the time to view and analyze the video and offering
    your valuable critique.

    With the current price of solar panels at less than a dollar per Watt, I
    don't see the cost of the energy to produce hydrogen as a significant
    barrier, as solar could power a 70–80% efficient electrolyzer for decades (during sunny weather, of course). There is also https://newatlas.com/energy/aluminum-gallium-hydrogen-powder/ . And,
    although the methane reforming method of H2 production produces CO2 (an arguably objectionable byproduct), in the brewery use-case, that CO2 was actually captured and sold. The fact that methane is almost universally available in urban environments does make it a viable consideration as a
    source for H2 in specific cases.

    The difficulty in storage of electricity is the heart of the issue. And, not surprisingly, H2 does have storage issues, however I don't seem them as insurmountable. LH2 can be held at ambient pressure in a Dewar for a considerable tens of days without significant loss. Pressurized H2 is shown
    to be routinely stored in steel tanks, so embrittlement seems to have been addressed. (Unfortunately, even graphene fails to contain it.) And, solid-state H2 storage appears to be viable, and is currently being
    developed, only requiring warming to be released. So, progress is being
    made in the storage of H2.

    The difficulty of transportation of H2 by tanker truck appears to be similar
    to gasoline. But, unlike petroleum-base fuels, H2 can be created at the
    point of use, so no transport is necessary.

    Personally, I don't advocate burning H2, not only because of the production
    of NOx (bad stuff, requiring expensive catalytic-converters on current internal-combustion engines), but because of the inherent poor efficiency (20-30%). Rather, I see fuel-cell technology as far preferable, but
    currently, with some problems in efficiency and maintenance (electrode-degradation contamination of electrolyte, etc).

    I view the "Hydrogen truly is nature's fuel." statement as somewhat valid
    from a quantum physics standpoint. For me, the beauty of the H2O -> H2 +O
    H2O cycle is its fundamental simplicity. And, if the waste heat can be
    put to productive use, as in the brewery example, H2 production efficiency
    can apparently be doubled. My thinking is that, burning any fuel in atmospheric air is objectionable, because Earth's biosphere (upon which all life shares and depends) is a closed system, and fundamentally
    unsustainable. As a professional engineered, I'm sure you understand that.
    In that light, I believe the current failure to capture the electrolyzed O2
    is wasteful...

    Although the documentary showed H2/air fuel-cells being routinely used
    indoors, I have a bit of trepidation in the potential for an explosion in
    the event of a H2 leak; but that can be addressed (with some added expense). Your statement indicating that hydrogen in quantities sufficient to be mined have SUPPOSEDLY been discovered, is news to me. Was that stated in the
    video? It seems unlikely that such a molecularly light gas could be
    contained to any significant extent naturally/geologically.

    The current burgeoning development of H2 as the "fuel of the future" by so
    many reputable firms (Rolls Royce, Airbus, ...) leads me to believe that
    their engineers's analysis has shown it to be worth the R&D expense at
    least.

    We are truly fortunate to live in a time of such explosive (excuse the pun) technologic revolution. Now, if only the political arena (and humankind's baser instincts) could evolve out of the dark-ages ...

    The price of solar panels is but a small fraction of the total cost for
    an installed system that produces usefull solar electricity.

    (during sunny weather, of course). There is also https://newatlas.com/energy/aluminum-gallium-hydrogen-powder/ .

    Whoopee.

    Nothing seems insumoutable to someone that has to neither design
    something nor pay for it to be built.

    Yeah, just like working fuion energy, which will be here any day now and
    has been for a significant portion of a century.


    The difficulty of transportation of H2 by tanker truck appears to be similar to gasoline. But, unlike petroleum-base fuels, H2 can be created at the point of use, so no transport is necessary.

    Assuming one has empty land at the point of use.

    Yeah, hydrogen fuel cells, yet another technology that will be here any
    day now.

    Depends on what there is that can be done with the O2.

    I think using expensive electricity to convert H2O to H2 and O2 is just
    plain silly for any application other than a welding torch.


    Although the documentary showed H2/air fuel-cells being routinely used indoors, I have a bit of trepidation in the potential for an explosion in
    the event of a H2 leak; but that can be addressed (with some added expense).

    And where do you put this fuel cell that will be here any day now?

    Have you any clue how big a useful fuel cell is or how much heat they
    generate?

    Your statement indicating that hydrogen in quantities sufficient to be mined have SUPPOSEDLY been discovered, is news to me. Was that stated in the video? It seems unlikely that such a molecularly light gas could be contained to any significant extent naturally/geologically.

    Mined H2 has been used on the island of Mali since 1987 to run an old
    Ford car engine to drive a generator to provide electricity to the
    village of Bourakébougou.

    Unfortunately the spark plugs crapped out some years ago and they are
    waiting for a fuel cell, which will arrive any day now.

    Why they didn't just order a new set of plugs from Amazon I have no clue.


    The current burgeoning development of H2 as the "fuel of the future" by so many reputable firms (Rolls Royce, Airbus, ...) leads me to believe that their engineers's analysis has shown it to be worth the R&D expense at
    least.

    Lots of companies spend lots of R&D money, especially when it comes from government grants, and most of them could give a crap less if anything
    comes from it as if not the troops got payed with free money.


    We are truly fortunate to live in a time of such explosive (excuse the pun) technologic revolution. Now, if only the political arena (and humankind's baser instincts) could evolve out of the dark-ages ...

    As I see it, society is going backwards over "climate change" hysteria.

    Startup using water as nuclear fuel claims net energy gain milestone
    ENG8 says it can generate five times as much power as it puts into its
    fusion energy process.

    ENG8, a fusion energy company based in Gibraltar, has claimed to have consistently obtained a five-time energy gain from its experiments. The company's claims were validated at the Culham Innovation Centre in
    Oxfordshire, one of the leading fusion centers under the UK Atomic Energy Authority, the company press release said.

    Nuclear fusion offers a non-polluting and less risky method to meet the
    world's energy demands. While the process has been ongoing on the Sun for billions of years, humanity is still trying to perfect how it can replicated
    on Earth.

    Research in the area has focused on using magnets and lasers to create
    plasma where nuclei of smaller atoms can be fused to create energy. However, energy gain has not been achieved through these approaches so far. This
    means that the energy spent to create fusion energy is much higher than the energy generated. Therefore, a claim that energy output is five times more
    than that put in is a major milestone that energy companies around the globe would be interested in.

    Fusion developer hits world-first independently verified generation
    milestone
    by Jane Maher in ENG8 News
    on October 27, 2023

    Fusion energy specialist, ENG8, has demonstrated an electrical energy output five times greater than the energy used in this ground-breaking, independent validation at Culham Innovation Centre in Oxfordshire, one of the top five leading fusion centres in the world, and home to the UK’s Atomic Energy Authority.

    During each of the three tests, lasting approximately 10 minutes each,
    ENG8’s ‘EnergiCell’ consistently scored an electrical energy output of five
    – one unit of electrical energy in, and five units of electrical energy, created by fusion, coming out.

    The testing was conducted by Underwriters Laboratories, the largest independent US certification agency.

    Alan Smith, CEO/Sec. International Society for Condensed Matter Nuclear
    Science (ISCMNS), said: “I visited Culham Innovation Centre to observe three test runs. All three concluded with higher temperatures in the output side calorimeter than on the input side, so it is clear that comparative
    thermometry indicates an energy gain. This new work is supported by many previous studies going back decades.

    “Most encouragingly, a representative of Underwriters Laboratories also attended and said that their tests of the device indicated a COP (Q) of five plus the possibility to improve that figure even further.”

    This is sufficient to enable the EnergiCell-powered power plants to be self-powering in 2024 and capable of commercial sales of emission-free
    energy. Still to be determined by manufacturing and distribution costs,
    ENG8’s EnergiCells are on track to provide a low-cost and secure source of energy for both domestic and commercial users.

    Valeria Tyutina, CEO at ENG8, said: “The results are quite brilliant, the stability of the fusion reaction was incredible, and this development can
    make the biggest difference to climate change of any other technology on
    earth. It changes everything – faster than you think.”

    hi there I'm Nick dick I'm director of
    0:02
    investor relations at NJ today again we
    0:07
    are at colum Science Park home to the UK
    0:11
    atomic energy agency and today we're
    0:14
    getting the electricity to electricity
    0:18
    energy cell tested by Underwriters
    0:20
    Laboratories and I've just heard that
    0:22
    it's done a q value of plus five on or
    0:25
    around that for the last 10 minutes
    0:27
    that's a complete Game Changer yeah my
    0:31
    company UL is the uh the the largest
    0:35
    company in the United States dedicated
    0:37
    to the certification uh uh process all
    0:41
    the measurements was uh appropriate and
    0:45
    uh the results is uh is uh quite
    0:49
    brilliant for sure is is is five but I
    0:52
    think can be can be more than five Q
    0:56
    value of five one unit energy in to get
    1:00
    things going and five units of energy
    1:05
    liberated by a fusion process and the
    1:07
    stability of that Fusion was just
    1:09
    remarkable um to watch it happen I'm an
    1:12
    engineer so I look at things from an
    1:14
    engineering point of view um I I think
    1:17
    this could make the biggest difference
    1:18
    the climate change of any other
    1:20
    technology on the face of the Earth this
    1:23
    changes everything really um but it
    1:26
    changes things in other ways that you
    1:29
    might
    1:31
    expect which I'm coming to terms with
    1:34
    now it will effectively democratize
    1:37
    energy throughout the world the the
    1:40
    ability to produce energy in a
    1:43
    standalone fashion it affect so many
    1:47
    things energy cell as well as
    1:51
    providing non
    1:54
    interrupted baseload power constant
    1:58
    power it's also a hugely decentralized
    2:01
    solution my sense is that this is
    2:04
    another Frontiers land technology where
    2:07
    some people dismiss it because they
    2:08
    don't understand the mechanism but the
    2:11
    proof is there you know we saw it today
    2:13
    now this decentralization is really
    2:16
    really important because the grid has
    2:19
    lots of bottlenecks in it and we need to
    2:22
    spend
    2:24
    billions uh adding new 500 KV 1,000 KV
    2:29
    uh line
    2:30
    to get renewable
    2:32
    energy down from where it's generated to
    2:36
    where it's needed things like electrical
    2:38
    vehicle Chargers you can't connect them
    2:40
    to the grid so in this country there's
    2:43
    enormous problems because you can't
    2:45
    charge your cars and as you know this is
    2:48
    leading to some mad situations where
    2:51
    wind farms are turned off or
    2:53
    curtailed uh as they say in the industry
    2:57
    because either it's going to fry the
    2:59
    grid and they they can't get it through
    3:01
    the system so people are coming up with
    3:02
    all sorts of crazy Solutions like diesel
    3:05
    generators to charge your electric
    3:08
    car you're talking about an exponential
    3:12
    growth to decentralized for every home
    3:14
    every car everyone will have this and it
    3:17
    will happen a lot faster than we think
    3:19
    you can have one on the back of your
    3:21
    house provides all of your electricity
    3:24
    and heat because once it started it
    3:27
    never has to stop as far as I'm
    3:28
    concerned it exceeded my expectations
    3:31
    the unit was able to run seamlessly and
    3:34
    uh yeah we got to see it in action which
    3:36
    was you know more than I I could have
    3:39
    could have hoped for it's very very
    3:40
    exciting because this technology
    3:42
    certainly even today the results they're
    3:44
    seeing um had just never been done
    3:47
    before ever anywhere in the world the
    3:49
    impact that Fusion could have on a
    3:51
    global scale there's so many people
    3:53
    without electricity I'm a
    3:56
    biotechnologist um chemical engineer and
    3:59
    uh General technology Scout at the
    4:01
    moment working for companies in the UK
    4:04
    and the Middle East to bring um the best
    4:08
    decarbonization Technologies to Market
    4:10
    as quickly as possible very impressive
    4:12
    it's a fantastic team um incredible so
    4:15
    many man Decades of absolutely top level
    4:18
    experience part of my role hopefully
    4:21
    will be to help scale that up and
    4:22
    commercialize it as quickly as possible
    4:25
    um into different applications
    4:27
    industrial applications and for other
    4:29
    consumer applications and this could be
    4:32
    you know the Holy Grail to help solve
    4:34
    that I was one of the early investors
    4:36
    into the into the technology and I've
    4:38
    seen it go from early birth into what I
    4:41
    would call a Quantum leap for mankind I
    4:44
    think we could have an intermediate
    4:46
    product um shippable within 12 to 18
    4:49
    months I'm backing this with uh with you
    4:52
    know my time and my effort and and money
    4:55
    because I think it's the right thing to
    4:56
    do the um fossil fuel industry is has
    4:59
    been there for us for 300 years it's
    5:02
    enabled the Industrial Revolution our
    5:04
    society wouldn't exist as it does now
    5:06
    without it but you know we're coming to
    5:08
    the end of when that's viable um and
    5:10
    this is a transition in human society um
    5:14
    it's been a long time coming but I think
    5:16
    everybody's ready for it and without any
    5:18
    doubt now we we know that we're in the
    5:20
    fast lane I'm hoping to see my
    5:22
    investment take off big time so and I
    5:24
    want to be part of it too we are going
    5:27
    on a road show in um December early
    5:31
    January um specifically to America and
    5:33
    to other countries as well to promote um
    5:36
    our business and to raise additional
    5:39
    Finance from institutional investors
    5:41
    here we've got Commonwealth Fusion
    5:43
    systems Commonwealth Fusion specializes
    5:45
    in hot Fusion company's worth uh $7
    5:49
    billion uh or Circa $7 billion $7
    5:52
    billion in change I heard somebody was
    5:54
    talking about a billion at a rather High
    5:57
    valuation um well you have to look at
    6:00
    the market because in um in a technology
    6:04
    sector we are working in um the only way
    6:07
    is to use current comparatives and um uh
    6:11
    there are many companies which are valed
    6:13
    over a billion which work in this sector
    6:16
    and they have not yet achieved the
    6:19
    results we managed to
    6:25
    achieve

    Janesville, Wisconsin-based nuclear fusion company SHINE Technologies has obtained visible proof of its reaction at work, visible radiation produced
    as a byproduct, a press release stated. The company claims this is the first instance when this has been achieved for nuclear fusion.

    With the world looking for cleaner ways to meet its energy demands, nuclear power is gaining favor once again as a low-carbon source of energy.
    Companies are also focused on harnessing energy from nuclear fusion instead, which does not raise concerns about nuclear waste.

    Challenges for nuclear fusion are still aplenty as researchers look for ways
    to contain the plasma used for generating energy as well as obtaining higher yields than the energy put into the fusion reaction. SHINE has adopted a multi-disciplinary approach to nuclear fusion as it looks to apply the technology in industrial and medical applications on its way to tackling the problem of generating energy. ---------------------------------------------------
