Gee, 7,8 O'clock in the UK, and you are on your fifth pint?

I don't drink Graham. But someone does! haha..

Fact is, the usenet is the 21st century equivalent of Hyde Park's
speakers corner. In ancient times when the powers that be came across
a fellow they didn't want to have gain the public ear, it was
impossible to silence them, but it wasn't impossible to hire thugs to
shout him down and generally make listening to him unpleasant. Graham
and Guthball appear to have taken a special interest in shouting foul
epithets into my conversations and to drown out any reasonable talk
with highly unreasonable talk. Who knows why? Suffice to draw the
parallels with history and repeat what I've said previously so anyone
coming across this subject line is not disappointed by foul language
and arcane and WRONG conclusions.

I have developed a low-cost solar panel technology that has the
capacity to make hydrogen gas for $170 per metric ton. With hydrogen
at this price, the hydrogen economy is upon us. Solar panels operating
at central collector sites in sunny regions make hydrogen from local
water supplies and store it in gaseous form in spent natural gas wells
well suited for this purpose. A 100 day supply of hydrogen is stored
this way. The gas is collected through a feeder network to
transmission points where the hydrogen gas is combined with nitrogen
from the air, to make anhydrous ammonia. The ammonia is sent by
pipeline to all 1,200 coal fired plants located throughout the United
States.

At each plant the ammonia is autocatalytically reduced to hydrogen and
nitrogen again, and the hydrogen burned in a special boiler to run the
steam turbines formerly fired by coal.

Coal is still delivered to the site, and combined with extra hydrogen
to make hydrocarbon fuels like gasoline jet fuel and diesel fuel -
while producing zero emissions.

Gaseous hydrogen is also distributed at low pressure through the
pipeline network used to feed natural gas to homes. There the hydrogen
is used very much like natural gas for heating and cooking.

Growth in energy demand is met by distributed use of fuel cells using
this source of hydrogen.

Meanwhile reduced use of the AC grid leads to the re-introduction of
streetcars,interurbans and tram systems - including personal rapid
transit systems that are powered by the roadway they ride on.

Also, a boron based polymer film that absorbs hydrogen readily, so
that 20% of the film by weight is hydrogen, stores hydrogen safely and
cleanly for portable applications. The film is used in a fuel cell to
power electric vehicles - with a single 8 inch diameter 39 inch long
cylinder weighing 33 lbs being able to drive a vehicle 300 miles.

Increased produciton of petroleum based fuels from coal,decreased use
of petroleum based fuels, and continued domestic production of
petroleum products,leads to a situatoin where the US becomes an
exporter of petroleum fuels. This gives the US some measure of
control of pricing of these fuels and creates a situation where
moderate pricing leads to rapid development of places like Mexico,
Central and South America, Indonesia, India and China - and a growing
demand for US made and US marketed consumer products. enriching all
concerned.

Brad you're a nutjob. Your belief in hydrogen peroxide is misplaced.
Hydrogen peroxide while useful in some specialty applications doesn't
contain enough energy to be of interest as a general fuel. Even so
hydrogen peroxide is highly explosive in high concentrations and a
powerful bleach. Anyone who has put a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide
on a wound,knows how easily the stuff can decompose. Ammonia
solutions don't do that. And neither does gasoline.

Fact is one ton of hydrogen gas has a heating value equal to;

1 ton H2 = 3.2 tons crude oil
6.2 tons coal
6.5 tons ammonia
65.0 tons hydrogen peroxide
130.0 tons sodium sulfur batteries
1,300.0 tons lead acid batteries

Hydrogen peroxide is more in line with batteries than fuel. AND its
highly explosive.

Ammonia on the other hand has a lot going for it - and can be almost a
1 for 1 replacement for coal - while eliminating all the CO2 emissoins
as you siad.

NOx emissions are not an issue to a properly designed plant - any more
than rust is an issue to a properly maintained ship. Yeah you can get
it if you're not careful. But its not an issue to a well run plant.

Ever since I installed Norton 360 - my computer periodically stalls

So the reply list didn't have Dan's address, and the address in the

So, it looked to me that Graham had posted this not Dan..

To Dan, yeah, I think you're right. Graham is a little upset. I

Utilizing it for NOx free and thus clean energy of burning most

Perhaps at the very same utility energy cost as for making your $170/

h2o2 should be all that much different, and h2o2 doesn't have to be

BTW I've never stipulated that LH2 shouldn't be created from

insisting that a greater portion of that spare/surplus energy should
go into creating h2o2 that can be made as powerful as you'd like, or
all of it made into 3% mouth wash. Either way it's a win-win for
humanity and for our badly failing environment that doesn't exactly
have enough spare/surplus energy to go around, much less for the
making of H2 that's going to unavoidably create those nasty secondary

The last time I'd checked, mother Earth doesn't need any more NOx.

Graham, doesn't like people who talk about hydrogen being possible
today. I don't know why. But there it is. So, he uses foul language
to turn people off fromthe subject. Doesn't really contribute much to
the conversation though.

Fact is, I build solar panels for $0.07 per peak watt and electrolysis
units for $0.02 per peak watt - and in sunny areas I can make hydrogen
from available water for less than $170 per metric ton.

Why not put these panels everywhere?

Because at these prices you make more money selling synthetic fuels at
market prices than you do selling equipment.

And it costs less than $100 per metric ton of hydrogen to ship it all
over the US.

Putting more panels in less sunny areas like Ohio and Pennsylvania,
doubles or triples the cost of panels,and increases the cost of
hydrogen by MORE than $100 per metric ton.

So,putting panels in sunny regions and operating them in a large array
makes a lot of sense - and then sending the hydrogen by pipeline to
where it is needed.

Some spent gas wells are ideally suited geologically to holding large
quantities of hydrogen gas. Many of these occur in sunny regions. But
they must be seasoned first with hydrogen gas. And when you do that,
you release the stationary natural gas and oil left behind. This pays
for the seasoning at $170 per metric ton - and so, by using many spent
gas wells a 100 day supply of hydrogen is stored for the US, even if
all our energy needs comes from hydrogen.

The sunniest regions of the US are around the US/Mexico border. So, a
strip of land 5 miles wide running the entire 1951 mile length of the
border with my panels supplies enough hydrogen to exceed US energy
needs, and supply part of Canada's and Mexico's energy needs. What do
we do with our current domestic production? Ship it to Indonesia,
China and Inda - to accelerate their growth - and increase demand for
US made and US marketed consumer products.

So, we a hydrogen economy consists of 12 million acres of very low
cost solar panels located in the US SouthWest. 100 days supply is
stored underground, and a gas line gathering system is used to bring
the hydrogen to a limited number of sites where ammonia is made from
air and hydrogen. The ammonia is shipped by pipeline to 1,200 coal
fired power plants operating in the US,. The ammonia is then
autocatalytically reduced to nitrogen again and hydrogen, and the
hydrogen is burned to fire a boiler that feeds the power plants. No
CO2 is produced at all.

Stranded coal is still delivered to these plants, but it is
hydrogenated with extra hydrogen at the plant, to make ALL of US need
for liquid hydrocarbon fuels, gasoline jet fuel diesel fuel. Like I
said, we export domestic production and any other surplus.

Local natural gas lines are converted to hydrogen gas and hydrogen gas
is burned in homes and offices and businesses for heating and
cooking. New construction and increases in electrical demand is met
by hydrogen fueled fuel cells distributed throughout the city. Older
homes too are converted by hydrogen fueled fuel cells which is more
efficient and cheaper than the AC grid.

Surplus AC grid capacity.is converted to powered roadways, trams,
streetcars, interurbans, are brought back, but with modern computer
controls, these can take the form of personal rapid transit systems.

Borazane materials fashioned into a polymer film contain 20% by weight
hydrogen. These films form the basis of a new mobile fuel cell
technology that moves teh film mechanically between two electrodes,
and causes hydrogen to be evolved. The hydrogen then combines with
oxygen in the air, to generate electriicty. An 8in diameter by 39
inch long cylinder containing a large role of thin film - contains 102
kWh. The rate of unrolling determines the power rating. 100 kW is
possible - and as little at 100 watts is efficiently made and
everythng in between. Efficiencies range from 90% to 60% depending on
load. Each cannister masses 33 lbs.

When the film is spent, it is rewound from its takeup reel and
replaced. The spent film is then sent to a hydrogen center and
recharged.

Recharging utimately costs $5 - dropping from an initial cost of $30 -
power units for the home, based on mobile units are also sold. Eight
cannisters operate a home for a month - at a cost of $40 per month.

Delivery services drop off fresh cannisters and pick up spent ones on
a monthly basis.

Your comments are so wrong on so many levels I do not have time to
correct them all. The only thing I have to say is that you are a
first class nutjob Brad. Properly handled in the right kind of
appliances - hydrogen even when burned does not produce nitrogen
oxides. Hydrogen peroxide has so many problems, a few of which I've
already recounted,and which you blithely ignored, its a waste to
repeat yet again the difficulties the material faces if used as a
replacement for more reasonable fuels.

1 ton hydrogen = 3.2 tons crude oil
6.2 tons coal
6.5 tons ammonia
65.0 tons hydrogen peroxide
130.0 tons sodium sulfur batteries
1,300.0 tons lead acid batteries

A totally worthless factoid.

Because the CONTAINED energy density of one ton of hydrogen gas is
significantly less than an equivalent weight of crude oil.

It also becomes much worse as the tank or containment empties.

And utterly ludicrous if you compare the infininitly more important
equivalent volumes.

See http://www.tinaja.com/glib/energfun.pdf for a detailed analysis.

Well, he's right about the low density of hydrogen. A cubic meter of
oil masses between 862 kg and 788 kg depending on 'weight' - A barrel
is 0.15899 cubic meters. So a ton is between 7.30 and 7.98 barrels
of crude oil - depending on weight of oil.

A cubic meter of liquid hydrogen is 70 kg. - less than 1/10th the
density of oil. Hydrogen has a lot more energy per unit weight about
3.2x as much energy per unit weight - but on a volume basis it
contains only 26% of the energy of oil per cubic meter. That is it
takes 3.85 cubic meters of liquid hydrogen to carry the same energy as
a cubic meter of crude oil.

Coal weighs between 1,350 kg/m3 and 1,500 kg/m3 and has up to 23.5 GJ/
tonne.

Liquified Natural Gas masses 410 kg/m3 and 500 kg/m3 so it can have 21
GJ/tonne

Natural Gas at 1 bar
0.035 GJ/m3
Hydrogen Gas at 6 bar
0.038 GJ/m3

Hydrogen at 340 bar has 15 kg of gas per cubic meter - 2.17 GJ/m3
Hydrogen at 680 bar has 30 kg of gas per cubic meter - 4.34 GJ/m3
Liquid hydrogen as 70 kg of hydrogen per cubic meter 9.93 GJ/m3

Ammonia masses 681.9 kg per cubic meter - 15.34 GJ/m3
LNG masses 410 kg/m3 to 500 kg/m3 21.00 GJ/m3
Borazane 156 kg per m3 hydrogen 22.12 GJ/m3

Coal contains 1,350 to 1,500 kg per cubic meter 35.25 GJ/m3
Oil contans on average 6.29 bbls per cubic meter 38.37 GJ/m3

Low density of natural gas doesn't seem to bet a killer for statioanry
applications. After all 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas - a volume of
178 barrels - contains only 1/6th the energy of a single barrel of
oil.

So, while much is made of the volumetric energy density of hydrogen as
a practical matter it doesn't seem to be that big of a problem. And
there are hydrogen carriers like ammonia and borazane that are as easy
to handle as LNG in one case, and coal in the other - and have
reasonable volumetric energy densities.

See, this is a central problem of solar power or any alternative power

gurus that look to the LAST big technology win to inform them about how to
manage the NEXT one. As a resuilt you have under-sized mis- managed
companies. Oh, good people, great people, but they can't compete against
experts in the energy business. So, what do they do? Demonize the
competition. Yeah, that works! haha..

NOT

Look you accuse me of being a meglomaniac. I say to you NUTS! haha.. You
don't know what you're talking about. The fact of the matter is, you've
GOT to think big in order to be competitive against the others in the
energy business. If you DON'T think big then you WON'T COMPETE! And
that's pretty much the history of the alternative energy business. A
bunch of small thinking losers that bad mouth major energy and don't do a
DAMN THING to change anything. And they sponge off the government worse
than a welfare mom on crack, and lie about the importance of what they
really do.

Shit

And I come along and say rather plainly what our cost targets have to be,
what I am doing to achieve them, and what I have done to achieve them. I
also say the scale of the projects we need to achieve my targets. And
then I go out and achieve them. And when I come back to a place like this
and report what I've done - I get blasted as being a meglomaniac! haha..

The most interesting thing I think has happened is I've gotten interviewd
by reporters from the New York Times AND the Wall Street Journal following
the press release and HUGE coverage in Asia - after I got back. 2 billion
tons of coal, 180 sq km of land, 60 million solar panels 30 GW. $800
million downstroke.. DAMN! We're in business boddy. Small by oil
project standards, but in the ballpark to achieve what I need to achieve.
MAJOR NEWS right? haha..

So, I flew to New York City and sat there for two days of interviews at
the request of reporters - my nickel. No problem, I had to meet with my
bankers anyway. Then what happened? After the interviews?

The editors for BOTH papers thought it wasn't newsworthy enough. Who
cares what happens in Indonesia. Then I see this asshole John Neumann
with his so called Free Energy machine on the Science Channel - and I just
gotta laugh.

I got other things to do. haha..

I talk to one reporter one day when she calls. She's bummed that her
story didn't get picked up. I tell her about Neumann's machine and ask
her why not run it on the funny angle you know? I don't care. She said
that's not the problem, if I would have looked like a kook they would have
run it that way. The problem is different. How? I asked. She says read
CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN and A GAME AS OLD AS EMPIRE. She's
thinking about getting into PR work - she's tired of the politics in News
reporting - its not like she thought it would be. She always said things
would be different at the Times. as she worked her way up. And she finds
out its worse. Too bad sweety.

So I found the latter title, and bought it. Pick up the book, read the
first chapter. It explains everything - if you believe it. I don't
believe it. I still believe in America. Too bad your editors an asshole
baby.

So, I'm using my success overseas to cut a deal here in the US. One the
US press won't ignore. Not that press isn't that important - but we think
we get the straight scoop here in America - and oftentimes we do. But
sometimes, we dont'. Sometimes we get a skewed message. Like we know how
toxic rocket fuel is and that its cancer causing, but it took 30 years for
us to admit that cigarette smoke might cause cancer, and we still haven't
even done tests to let us think about gasoline fumes causing cancer,
although scientists reluctantly admit that tumors in rats are caused by
low amounts of gasoline vapor. haha...

I'm a meglomaniac? Not likely. I think you're ensconced in an industry
that's used to thinking tiny and small and incremental - and you've been
that way since the first solar cell was built in 1954!! Its time to wake
up and smell the coffee dude! Quit dreaming that small incremental
changes will bring about massive change. Quit hoping that somwhow someway
people will 'wakeup' -

Fact of the matter is YOU have to wake up - and focus like a laser beam on
the REAL problems facing alternative energy, and THEN come up with
solutions, and THEN figure out how to get them funded on a scale where
they can make a REAL DIFFERENCE!!!

An project financing is the way - and coal hydrogenation is the first step
- and monetizing oil that will be made is how the bills get paid - just
like Jed Clampett monetized the oil under his ground to buy his Beverly
Hills mansion. haha..

And this is but ONE energy project in a world of energy projects, and as
more energy projects are completed, I will leverage the success of each to
create a company large enough to make a difference - and use market forces
to force fundamental change in the energy business - while taking
advantage of a sea change in how oil is produced (the world is entering a
period of secondary production in ALL OIL FIELDS WORLDIWDE).

I rest my case.- Hide quoted text -

Making a difference, taking advantage of a seachange in a market to do
it, these things do not make one a megalomanic! haha.. They just
make one successful! lol. And enjoying one's success does not make
one a megalomaniac either.

Was Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or George Westinghouse or Thomas Edison
or Alex Bell, or Harvey Firestone, or Dave Packard or Bill Hewlitt or
Andrew Carnegie or Henry Ford or any one else who made a difference
and took advantage of changing technology or changing paradigms in
markets to create success for themselves megalomaniacs? NO! Were
they unaware of their potential before achieving it? NO! They were
quite aware. Did they speak and work and think in ways that supported
that potential? YES!

So, obviously you are all wet.
