Hydrogen from scrap materials
By Howard Phillips Presented to
3
“We are painfully aware there is no Hydrogen Age without hydrogen.”
“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
5
Method to make cheap HOD
Water A better idea, to get more hydrogen Catalyst
6
Advantages: High reaction rate – lots of hydrogen.
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?
7
In a chemical reaction, a catalyst lowers the activation energy, Ea
8
What is Catalytic Carbon?
Normal carbon, chemically treated to become a heterogeneous catalyst Patent Pending Output Input Not consumed Advantage Other advantages?
9
Advantages One Aluminum atom three hydrogen atoms
Water to aluminum ratio = 3 FUEL More advantages …
10
Catalytic Carbon will be cheaper, pound-for-pound than bottled water.
Advantages When Catalytic Carbon is in production, what will be the COST? Catalytic Carbon will be cheaper, pound-for-pound than bottled water. And…What about aluminum?
11
Pure water NOT required
From Water to Hydrogen Pure water NOT required
12
Advantages Pure water NOT required. Salt water works well.
More advantages …
13
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?
14
Aluminum cost
15
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: More advantages …
16
Advantage: Aluminum is cheap
Use Scrap Aluminum! U.S. Dollars per metric ton More advantages …
17
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 …
18
Automatic separation of hydrogen and liquid
Recycling Advantages Automatic separation of hydrogen and liquid Gas vapor (bubbles) Stays in liquid. Can be recycled. More advantages …
19
Advantages 1. Any temp Any pressure In liquid
We prefer 180F, in water, at 1 ATM Hydrogen bubbles Temp = 174F More advantages …
20
Technology Verification
Flame test
21
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
22
Technology Verification
Flame test Hydrogen purity test Flow rate measurements Hydrogen at 1 LPM to 20 LPM Simple, easy, cheap
23
Technology Verification
Flame test Hydrogen purity test Flow rate demonstration 4. Car test Full report online at 32% increase in gas mileage; first test run.
24
Technology Verification
Flame test Hydrogen purity test Flow rate demonstration Car test World-wide test program @ 45 locations Also in Arizona Catalyzed-Carbon.com Office cell (Don) Evaluation of CC: 12 countries and 18 states in the USA
26
Catalyzed Aluminum
29
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
32
Path forward
33
2013 Engineering chemistry Commercialization
Phillips Company invite Mfg. Companies Engineering chemistry Commercialization
