The return of the water motor
By Denis Delbecq • June 17th, 2008 in 10:40 · Category: Actuality
Undoubtedly, the dazzling increase in the barrel of oil dopes the inventors. In Japan, the Genepax business company, a young born shoot two years ago with less than three hundred thousand euro of capital, informed this week that she would soon introduce the details of its technology of water motor. On June 12th, the Japanese press could discover the first archetype of car equipped with its system.
Nothing to see of course with the alleged water motor which had been the talk of the town in the seventies and made say to some that it would be possible to go around the world with a litre of water. The supposed technology of Genepax is based on the pile with fuel with hydrogen, fed by air and water. The business company Japanese asserts having improved a «known means» to break molecules of water, to recover the hydrogen and to feed the pile which gives electricity.

In this system, the energy recovered in the pile with fuel naturally does not come from the water. The fuel is indeed a metallic hydrure, or a complex hydrure, from whom the reaction with the water liberates some hydrogen which is then combined with the oxygen of air to produce electricity in the pile, and to liberate some water which can possibly be reused. Hydrures is besides used in some batteries of small capacity, famous NIMH (Nickel metal-hydrure).
Patents increase for several years on these devices which introduce advantage to concentrate some hydrogen without risks linked to the stocking and for the use of this light and very flammable gas. Many laboratories work for example on the hydrures of aluminium. In that case, it is therefore the changed aluminium, and not the water, which acts as fuel! Other jobs lean on the magnesium. Either in form of hydrure, or under metallic form. In that case, it is the combustion of the element in the water which liberates some hydrogen, and produces the oxide of magnesium which can be recycled.
Naturally, upstream, the production of the hydrure or the recycling of an oxidised metal uses energy. There is not miracle and Genepax did not invent the perpetual motion! But if the business company found a more efficient means to produce metallic hydrures to stock some hydrogen for piles with fuel, it will always be this of earning.

Considering the increase growing by courts of oil fuels,
you envisage some file on systems Pantone for vehicles with internal combustion engine
or for oil-fired boilers, possible allow to economise up to 80 % of fuel for
a vehicle equipped with a competitive reactor Pantone?
And, otherwise, why?
On the other hand, I use this electronic mail, to signal you, that member of the Association of the Inventors and Producers of Alsace (just as Mr Jean-Marc Baggio, creator of "CrashAlarm" and of Varistart), I am the author of a plan of pragmatic géo-engineering French-Saharan, well earths up in earth: ”SaharaCenterCity and FlowersWar' s projects could Save Gaïa!”
This plan takes back Roudaire-Lesseps plan partly,
but Roudaire-Lesseps plan is only a part there …
They put some pure water between this two électrodes. And they are loaded. They attract the present ions in the pure water, H3O + and Oh. Two électrodes in another container are then moved. He also containing some pure water. And they are unloaded.
In the first container, do molecules of water split up into ions? If yes, the temperature goes down. And in the second container, the temperature goes up. Since ions form molecules of water.
Of what to feed a thermal cycle. But it goes out of the frame of physics. Then, it is impossible. And nobody has ever tried. As many other things.

Science and Life already has publish a lot of article on the future of this energy.
When in thermonuclear energy it is not although available. ITER has classes of building in Cadarache, and it is only a research tool.
Let us not forget that the humanity will have used in the one or two centuries the oil and the gas which nature put a few hundred millions year to collect.
In the first container, molecules of water are going to open. Endothermique reaction. The temperature goes down.
In the second container, molecules of water are going to form. There are too much ions. Exothermique reaction. The temperature goes up.
They can hollowing-out blend both containers to find the water in 20°c. But it is so first possible to make turn a thermal engine between two. And then blend them. The temperature final will be then of 18°c. And a source of heat will be needed only to come back in 20°c.
But it is opposite to what says physics. Thermodynamics especially. Then, nobody tried. Since it is impossible.

The product of concentration in ions H + by concentration in ions Oh being a constant, molecules of water are going to open in both containers. And their temperature is going to go down.
By accomplishing an electrical link between both containers (with a son of platinum?), electrons are going to circulate and electrolysis is going to occur.
It is simple. Much simpler than Iter and nuclear fusion.
It does not produce C02. Nor of nuclear waste.
But according to the laws of physics, it is impossible. Therefore.

This was courrament made during many years especially there australie and in gold coast.
Technique is called one gas generator, the exhaust of which is mainly Some WATER.
Is it the technology of Siécle? Will see seeing each other of cars with a type of hot garbage can taken up in the back? Of a very way it is carbon neutral! But wooden supermarkets would be needed so that it is possible to run as much as now. Perhaps they will be obliged to come back there …
This type with vertical axle supports any kind of winds, even tourbillonnants and very extremely. I dare to hope for a development of this second generation.

On the other hand, these masses splitting on the rest of the oceans, the oceanic floor under this new weight will have tendency to subside, augmenting pressure at once under this one.
This magmatic pressure having tendency to homogenise, that of pence poles augments, favouring even more the elevation of the rind under these.
Therefore, who says uprising, said more rigid slopes, especially about edges. And who says more rigid slopes, says favoured slidings.
On the other hand, who says displacement of masses of poles towards the Equator, just like the skater who decelerated its rotation on himself as he moves aside the arms of his body, the earth must therefore decelerate its rotation. What draws away a reduction of centrifugal force at the level of the Equator and of blow an increase of weight on oceanic floor, an increase of sub-named phenomenon follows, the curl is fastened.
But let us continue. Who says distortion of the Earth, says compelled additional on the earth's crust. Therefore seisms more frequent and more violent.
In short, the future which reserves for us this famous climatic warming is not pink!!!!
The generator produces the hydrogen by electrolysis from water (of the tap) and of electricity (possibly solar or wind), the hydrogen is stocked and can then be burnt to heat some water and to heat the home, or re-transformed into electricity thanks to the pile with hydrogen to feed a fridge, an electrical cook or a car!
The company adapted a car general public so that she could be projected in the hydrogen. Autonomy is 25 miles, that is about 40 km at the moment, but this autonomy will be carried to 100 miles, about 160 km, and more later. And this walks as a "normal" car, no difference is smelt.
The car is naturally hybrid and can then run to the oil of a simple pressure on a button.
Until then everything is (almost) normal.
True good news, revolution I should say, it is that once commercialised, very soon, the cost of the generator will be only 2000 £ and the transformation of your vehicle so that he could run to the 1000-£ hydrogen.

And besides everything is said on http://www.itm-power.com, the site of ITM POWER.
A page turns and in reality it is the epoch of the hydrogen that begins now, in this year of 2008, and at the same time he is put an end to the epoch of fossil fuels. It is also huge as this.
The advantages of the Hydrogen as energy source are well known for a long time: the hydrogen is inexhaustible and the energy which it produces is 100 % nonpolluting, ideal therefore. Almost ideal there makes because it was an expensive energy.
Where everything topples over, it is when ITM succeeds in 2 years to divide the cost by 10 of KW / h (technical process does not use the very expensive platinum anymore).
Idea is therefore now to fabricate its hydrogen-home at the request, in form of gas, what resolves prickly problem linked to the stocking and to the distribution of the hydrogen under liquid form (in-260 ° Celcius!).
All concept is there: an inexhaustible source of hydrogen home made all for an energy - manners clean and inexpensive, and all that from now on.
What is amazing it is that it is this small company which hits the jackpot while huge investments were many years made by all cadors of worldwide industry, Bmw, Mercédès, Honda, of oil tankers, governmental agencies. They do not own property search or too much did not feel like finding. In short.
Not I do not work for ITM POWER, and not I one am not particularly bitten by this source of energy: of course that this always had promising air, the principle of the pile with hydrogen is brilliant, but this appeared to be fundamental science with applications for very long-term, more domain of science invention.
From time to time in Auto newspaper, on the page curiosity, they showed splendid, sparkling and true archetypes plants with priceless gas, splendid tools of marketing, but interests seemed too contradictory so that a quick solution and general public are imagined.
And suddenly to learn that everything is good in fact and without waiting: the concept of the constricted fabricated hydrogen home by electrolysis, the pile with hydrogen in the point, the very profitable of a (incredible), inexpensive energy point of view of the whole, and capable of making run the autos babies of Mister of everybody just by adapting them a bit, and in very close future, time to embed the industrial process of production!!!
It is huge! This news filled me with enthusiasm as much as if they had announced me in truth the next exit of the antigravitational car of Skywalker or of the first volante saucer. And I think that they should be fast more and more to be passionate. Provided that news is broadcast.
They are flooded with information concerning the oil crisis, the rarefaction of fossil energies threatens all planetary balances, greenhouse effect and climatic warming are daily subjects of development in all media and when he appears a solution capable of resolving all these problems, nobody speaks about it?
It is almost worrying there: I am little infophage and apart from a page or two on the net, I saw nothing in written press, anything on the radio or in the television: nor in France (agreed the bike) but anything either in the United States (they are interested in an electric car on frame Lotus which goes in more of 200Km / h, great interesting), little on BBC.
Why such silence? I know that speaking journalistiquement, bad news are more interesting than the good, but nevertheless. Of course it is possible that I assess badly the range of this discovery, it is perhaps this. Or are they the journalists who assess it badly? I do not know.
Without overturning into the parano, he is sure that media belongs to people with more interests in common with the world based on the oil than with the world based on the hydrogen. But from there to imagine a conspiracy of silence (fortunately I took my drops) …
It is probable that this type of technological advance corresponds to one of the worst nightmares of omnipotent lobbies of the oil: their empires are going to collapse, their wars (Iraq) are going to stop, their businesses are dead going to cease. This news is going to fall them over as an anvil Having said that they have to expect this type of knack some day, and they are reactive and powerful people provided that they do not buy back ITM POWER …
I prefer muzzling my paranoid rantings: everything is going very well to take place and all that is going to end up knowing. I am besides completely capable of remaining so so happy all alone another small instant: «THREE CHEERS FOR YEAR 1 OF The EPOCH OF The HYDROGEN!»
To finish, I do not know if you remember there are 2 or 3 years of this woman-engineer Indian who had found a way to fabricate some oil with plastic waste, bags etc, for a miserable cost. Brilliant idea hyper exciting about which they then ever heard: hoax or gagged idea?? Yours I am going to try of knowledge this.
Really, if we are learnt one day that ITM POWER was a hoax will have there more than to line up cotillions and to reinvest in the Valium, and for a long time …

if the strong need of necessary energy is taken into account to liberate the hydrogen of its linked form (p. eg the water) and to use it as fuel, will unfortunately the price of the barrel of oil has to augment still rather well before the hydrogen is obvious. unless the technology of extraction of the hydrogen develops, but for it will is needed
on the other hand, and this it is a problem of constitution, the energy density of the hydrogen is very weak, that is to have the energy comparable to that of a kilogramme of oil, very A LOT OF volume of hydrogen is needed, what constitutes a strong practical disability, harmful to the development of this energy
of course we would have been able to react more quickly to develop technology, besides it has been already 100 years since they are interested in it, but …
see each other, the mass of the humanity (let us say 80 % to please some Pareto) evolves in very cushy balance in the centre of a triangle of which each of the summits is called the simple, the chow and the money: as long as balance is not broken, the good selfish men of Westerners that we are oh well there is nothing of it to do miseries of our similar or destruction of environment
but it has been suddenly since with the zooming of the courts of brent and of the cereals our purchasing power is going down to oubliettes - it is the summit money of the triangle that crumbles away - then there it is the instant to react and to be interested in climatic warming and in Africain babies who are famished
the more I get old, the more I begin accomplishing the lightness of the man - and I am also a man - which depresses! but let us stay zen and let us wait patiently for the rise of the course of the oil, our only greeting facing climatic challenge
warmly
With the hydrogen, it would be necessary to mobilise permanently and entirely of thousands of big nuclear reactors to produce the electricity necessary for electrolysis and then for compression or for liquefaction, without counting the rest.
Which will remain a model of inspiration for others.
