At any rate it still requires energy to create an electromagnetic
field and such energy has to be created somehow (like by burning H2 and
O2 <grin>). So it seems like we could be back to square one again right?
No because if you wanted to induce a permanent field in the vicinity of
your separator cell so that the hydrogen bond would be weakened and you
could therefore use less energy to effect your separation why not
consider a room temperature superconductor?
Is that really valid? I don't know as it is a last minute addition
and I haven't had time to really check into them. My main point is to
show that there are several ways to weaken the hydrogen bond without
putting any additional energy into the system from your primary source
on an ongoing basis. Therefore, if the hydrogen bond can be weakened it
is common sense to realize that it is not "written in stone" that it
takes just as much energy to cause the separation as is given off by the
burning of the products. For that matter, electrolyze water then build a
hydrogen bomb and ignite it and put that power output into your
system...hehehe.
Actually it could just as well be true and that would be ok too
because I believe that I can show you how to utilize enough EXISTING
advantages at both ends of this process to make it useful. The
schematics for actual devices (quite an assortment of them) will be
presented in future installments.
2) TEMPERATURE: Water is more susceptible to electrolysis at certain
temperatures. Interestingly enough the optimum temperature to
electrolyze water is 98.6 degrees (or thereabouts), which is of course
normal human body temperature. Again, we have another way to weaken the
hydrogen bond.
WEIRD SCIENCE NOTE: As an aside, spontaneous human combustion (if it
really happens at all) is supposed to result in the incineration of the
victim's body at 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit or better. Coincidentally
enough H2 and O2 burned together generate a flame of about 7,000 degrees
Fahrenheit. Water is most susceptible to separation at the normal human
body temperature. The human body is 70% water. The human body has plenty
of electrolyte (salt). The human body has it's own electrical system to
provide ignition (real stretch there) and energy to electrolyze. So put
two and two together.......Oh well, just a thought.
3) ELECTROLYTE: Various types of electrolytes have been tried and some
do work better than others. This fact could be viewed as a simple
example of one catalyst being better than another. Since all a catalyst
does is speed up the reaction without changing the amount of energy
required it doesn't quite count with the above two examples but
nevertheless it is important to the overall performance of the system so
I have included it here. I have read that Ruthenium Salts make excellent
electrolytes. To the point that they will enable water to separate
solely from the energy provided by sitting a jar of water containing
these salts in a ray of sunlight! No electricity needed!
Ok that will be all for this installment. I'm sorry if I seem to be
going on in such minute detail here but I feel that it is important for
us all to understand how I got to where I am on this before we tackle
the actual devices themselves. When I first put this together I sent the
complete package to The U.S. Department of Energy and they sent me a
letter back the same day they received it quoting the Second Law of
Thermodynamics. Obviously they didn't even take time to go past the
first paragraph. Next I sent a copy to Greenpeace. No response. They
must have been too busy collecting donations.
Have no fear though by this coming weekend I hope to have the entire
lot of it up here. As an obviously wise man once told me: "The proof is
in the pudding" so the pudding's coming.
Later,
MJ
