Clean fuel for future multi-megawatt electrical power generation and heating Howard Phillips and Thomas H. Pike
Coal replaced by Hydrogen? Coal Why can’t it happen?
Coal replaced by Hydrogen? • Why can’t it happen? • No better fuel exists • Will NOT happen until a better fuel exists • Method needed to make cheap HOD What method?
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?
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 Other 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?
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. • Recycling (optional) reduces cost, saves energy, the environment and resources. Ref: http://sam.davyson.com/as/physics/aluminium/siteus/abundance.html
Advantage: Aluminum is cheap U.S. Dollars per metric ton
Advantages Pure Aluminum NOT required. Less pure Aluminum = Lower cost
Advantages Pure water NOT required. Salt water works well.
Advantages 1. No electricity needed 2. No power input required to sustain hydrogen production 4. pH neutral 5. No electrolyte No Corrosion
Advantages Automatic separation of hydrogen and liquid Gas vapor (bubbles) Stays in liquid. Can be recycled.
Advantages • 1. Any temp • Any pressure • In liquid • We prefer 180F, in water, at 1 ATM Hydrogen bubbles Temp = 174F
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?
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 Evaluation of CC: 12 countries and 18 states in the USA
EPA’s dream for the future ? • No emissions, no pollution Industry’s dream for the future ? • No emissions, no pollution • Lower cost fuel; No coal • Lower cost for EPA compliance Industry must solve problems
Eliminate emissions No Energy Input Path forward
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 Path forward
