Hydrogen from scrap materials By Howard Phillips Presented to
“This country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy - a strategy that’s cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs.” • President Obama • 2012 State-of-the-Union address • “We are painfully aware there is no Hydrogen Age without hydrogen.” • Doug Hawley • Secretary / Treasurer • American Hydrogen Association
Method to make cheap HOD Water A better idea, to get more hydrogen Catalyst
New CATALYST Input Output Advantages: High reaction rate – lots of hydrogen. No electrical input, no electrolyte, no corrosion, no emissions and no environmental problems. What is CC?
In a chemical reaction, a catalyst lowers the activation energy, Ea http://www.udel.edu/pchem/C444/Lectures/Lecture5.pdf
What is Catalytic Carbon? Normal carbon, chemically treated to become a heterogeneous catalyst Patent Pending Output Input Not consumed Advantage Other advantages?
Advantages One Aluminum atom three hydrogen atoms Water to aluminum ratio = 3 FUEL More advantages …
Advantages Catalytic Carbon will be cheaper, pound-for-pound than bottled water. When Catalytic Carbon is in production, what will be the COST? And…What about aluminum?
From Water to Hydrogen Pure water NOT required
Advantages Pure water NOT required. Salt water works well. More advantages …
Advantages 100% of Emissions are Eliminated No Smokestack needed No Particulate Matter No Carbon Dioxide No Nitrous Oxides No Sulfur Dioxide No Mercury Technology Verified?
Advantages • Aluminum is the world's most abundant metal. It is extracted from Bauxite. Current reserves of Bauxite = enough to meet our needs for Aluminum for the next few centuries. Ref: http://sam.davyson.com/as/physics/aluminium/siteus/abundance.html More advantages …
Advantage: Aluminum is cheap Use Scrap Aluminum! U.S. Dollars per metric ton More advantages …
CC-HOD Advantages 1. No electricity needed 2. No power input required to sustain hydrogen production 4. pH neutral 5. No electrolyte No Corrosion More advantages …
Recycling Advantages Automatic separation of hydrogen and liquid Gas vapor (bubbles) Stays in liquid. Can be recycled. More advantages …
Advantages • 1. Any temp • Any pressure • In liquid • We prefer 180F, in water, at 1 ATM Hydrogen bubbles Temp = 174F More advantages …
Technology Verification • Flame test
Technology Verification • Flame test • Hydrogen purity test The purity of our hydrogen was measured to be approximately 93%. The hydrogen production began with air in the container and in the tubes leading to the measurement instrumentation. The remaining 7% was believed to be water vapor/air; the amount of the water vapor depends on the temperature. 93% H2 Independent Test Lab
Technology Verification • Flame test • Hydrogen purity test • Flow rate measurements Hydrogen at 1 LPM to 20 LPM Simple, easy, cheap
Technology Verification • Flame test • Hydrogen purity test • Flow rate demonstration 4. Car test Full report online at www.PhillipsCompany.4T.com/CT.pdf 32% increase in gas mileage; first test run.
Technology Verification • Flame test • Hydrogen purity test • Flow rate demonstration • Car test • World-wide • test program • @ 45 locations Also in Arizona thegoodlife5350@gmail.com Catalyzed-Carbon.com480-319-7467 Office480-200-6277 cell(Don) Evaluation of CC: 12 countries and 18 states in the USA
Can this method be scaled up? This data updated 4/10/2012 No energy input needed after the water is warmed up to about 180F
