Fuel Cell Power

A fascinating insight to the secrets of Stan Meyer’s patents, and the principals behind the water fuel cell, David Wenbert, from the H2Earth Institute discusses the device in detail. This interview, along with the PES Moray King interview shed a bright light into this device, which is normally a high efficiency / over unity electrolyzer / capacitor, but when coupled with the Electron Extraction circuit, the device pulls off the free electrons in the charged HHO gas, making it a true fuel cell, plus a gas generator. Everyone knows we need to get off fossil fuels, and we need to do it quickly. Global warming aside, the air & water pollution from other toxins in fossil fuels is killing the planet. Add to this, we’ve gone through half the world’s crude supply in 100 years. China & India’s economies are now bursting online and mimicking the US model. We’ll go through the last oil reserves in less than 50 years at the rate of consumption and projected demands. 650 coal plants are planned in China & India in 10 Yrs, doubling GHG emissions. In light of peak oil & exhausting the crude oil supply in 50 years, & the air & water pollution from petrochemicals, we need to transition to a new fuel source that can (1) Be burned in the ~1 Billion global internal combustion engines with minimal modifications (2) Not pollute the atmosphere with byproducts that damage the environment. The most popular candidate for a non polluting energy for transportation has always been hydrogen. But the …

This is a video of a 1 megawatt Fuel Cell Power Plant at California State University, Northridge, in Los Angeles, CA. The power plant has a reformer that separates hydrogen from natural gas and then feeds the hydrogen into a fuel cell, generating electricity. The plant also recovers the heat generated and uses it for domestic heating on campus. In the future, some of the carbon emitted will be sequestered in a sub-tropical rainforest that is under construction. While at present this power plant still uses fossil fuels (the natural gas is needed in order to extract the hydrogen from it), in the future the hydrogen will be generated either from landfill gas, or else it will be electrolyzed using wind, solar, geothermal, wave or hydroelectric energy. What is most important and exciting about this plant is the fact that it is using fuel cells–touted to be the future of electricity generation–today, and they are working seamlessly on a large scale.

Congressman Peter Roskam discusses his solutions to our energy needs, and the disappointing lack of bipartisan efforts to bring relief to American families. Congressman Roskam offered an amendment to HR 6063, the NASA Authorization Act, that would have struck from the bill plans for a Deep Space Climate Observatory and instead would have created a research and development initiative for an alternative fuel for commercial aviation. The amendment directed the initiative to consider the need to reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy, provide stability to the airline industry, and reduce emissions. This effort would have brought energy relief to US consumers and businesses by harnessing American innovation and directing it toward energy solutions for the aviation industry.
