    US Navy useing sea water to power ships and aircraft

    http://news.yahoo.com/us-navy-game-c...150544958.html

    US experts have found out how to extract carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas from seawater.

    Then, using a catalytic converter, they transformed them into a fuel by a gas-to-liquids process. They hope the fuel will not only be able to power ships, but also planes.

    That means instead of relying on tankers, ships will be able to produce fuel at sea.



    I guess this beats laptop batteries
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

          Fuel from water is nothing new, it's called hydrogen. This has been done for a very long time, the only real game changer is they claim to have figured out how to do both steps in the process at once, which finally makes it economical. It still takes a lot of energy to do this process, so they will still need a way to do that.

          They won't be able to use this for cars anytime soon, in fact the only reason it's likely now looking more economical for the military is due to the cost of oil today and what it's cost will likely be 20 or 30 years from now.

              The guy who invented that concept (i believe same concept) was offered millions of dollars and he turned it down. He wanted in the merger/buy out that the use of technology would be for the good of mankind. He was committed to a psychiatric hospital for awhile as a result.

              I will post the video when i find it. Fairly certain it is same concept. 80% water... seawater to regular water conversion.

                      when oil is dead, they will find all kind of expensive catalizators and energy powered tools

                          The predicted cost of jet fuel using the technology is in the range of three to six dollars per gallon, say experts at the US Naval Research Laboratory
                          Well, the current commodity price for jet fuel is three dollars per gallon so for civilian use it is too costly. Probably the same could be said for ship diesel fuel -- the main differential would be in transport cost (military tankers) as compared to in situ fuel production.

                          For wartime use, ensuring supply and security, it makes sense.

                              There is so much debate on this. The most popular to claim the ability to extract hydrogen *efficiently* was a guy named Stanley Meyer:

                              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-fuelled_car

                              Most scientists debunk it as non-sense. What I think is interesting is he was able to get patents on it so he convinced the patent office.

                              Then a huge interest is in partial petroleum and water mixture where it does need gas/oil/etc. but then hydrogen is somehow extracted and used efficiently from the water.

                              https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/...Exchanger/info

                              If you ever read any of these ideas, they are always debunked. The general gist is that it requires too much energy for too little result making the process worthless. But the navy apparently now believes it is viable. But they are making a liquid jet fuel, for later use, and what everyone, to date, is trying to create that phenomena within the engine itself.

                              I suppose the big question would be is.. how the Navy is extracting the hydrogen? Nuclear?? Or have they stumbled on something else...

                                          Pretty cool... $30 (one hydrogen tank worth) to go 300 miles and no toxins emitted. Unfortunately, that doesn't address the issue of getting the H... out of H2O efficiently.

                                                              I think Hydrogen cell cars are the future, who wants to wait 30 minutes to recharge a battery car after a 100 miles trip when you can drive a hydrogen cell car that pollutes less and go 400 miles, spend 5 minutes refueling and then drive another 400 miles, and nothing but water comes out of the tail pipes?

                                                              What they are doing with this tech is a little different, it's more than just Hydrogen
                                                              Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                                              think about that

                                                                      Adding salt to anything burning, not regular salt if I remember right changes the color of flames to blue. Must have had something else in the water.
