Researchers discover fuel can be made from sunlight

Postby Oceanside50 » Mon Apr 29, 2013 7:53 am

Scientists have developed a reactor that mimics plants by turning sunlight into fuel. This is another discovery that could be implemented on a mass scale simply by using the sun. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have built a reactor with a quartz window that absorbs sunlight and acts as a concentration device to direct sunlight to a desired location. In the center of the reactor is something called oxide, which allows oxygen to exhale from its crystalline structure at high temperatures, and inhale oxygen back at lower temperatures.

Specifically, the inhaled oxygen is stripped off of carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or water (H2O) gas molecules that are pumped into the reactor, producing carbon monoxide (CO) and/or hydrogen gas (H2). H2 can be used to fuel hydrogen fuel cells; CO, combined with H2, can be used to create synthetic gas, or “syngas,” which is the precursor to liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Adding other catalysts to the gas mixture, meanwhile, produces methane. And once the ceria is oxygenated to full capacity, it can be heated back up again, and the cycle can begin anew. (SOURCE)


Three years after the discovery of converting sunlight into fuel, we still have yet to see any progress in the global energy industry with regards to new, clean energy technologies. It’s no secret that an abundant amount of alternative energy technologies are available for use that could help change and restore the planet into her most natural state. Living and consuming energy in a way that is more harmonious with the planet requires the implementation of these technologies and would not even equate to one person having to give up any “wants” or “likes” within their life. The only people that would see any loss, would be the multi-trillion dollar


energy industry that thrives off oil and environmental degradation. It also requires a shift in consciousness, a simple realization that we are the ones that choose the way we want to operate, and what we use as a resource to do so.

It’s 2013, and enough evidence has presented itself to the masses that shows how the energy industry spends an enormous amount of resources to cover up, conceal and divert attention from new energy technologies. Most new energy alternatives we hear about usually come directly from the oil industry anyway. Think about it, if you want new ways of generating energy, why would you ask the oil industry to do it for you? Collective Evolution has covered new energy technologies in depth since

it’s launch. You can view our article on the zero point energy cover-up HERE, vortex induced vibrations HERE, and the searl effect generator HERE. Hopefully these can provide you with a little more insight into energy and the industry that governs it.

The words 'complete' 'utter' and 'bollocks' spring to mind... :lol:

Surely, even a first year basic science student knows that if you split H2O (water) you get O (Oxygen) and H (Hydrogen)... Not carbon Monoxide, not H2 (whatever that is)... :roll:

No point reading beyond that really...

H2 is heavy hydrogen (2H),also known as Deuterium.

Oh yes... :oops:

You don't get it by splitting water with sunshine tho....

...and it can't be used in Hydrogen fuel cells....

Of course there's no point in you reading on .... there are no emoticons in the article to help you.

Allow me to assist ...

Specifically, the inhaled 8) oxygen is stripped off of :D carbon dioxide (CO2) :D and/or water (H2O) gas molecules that are pumped into the reactor, producing :!: carbon monoxide :wink: (CO) :wink: and/or :P hydrogen gas (H2) :P . H2 can be used to fuel hydrogen fuel cells; :idea:

And this one was especially developed for you >>> :roll:

You can tart it up all you like - the 'science' in that paragraph is still meaningless gobbledegook....

But then there is no hatred for the Brits or the Turks in it and no praise for the Greeks or Cypriots - no wonder you were completely unable to comprehend it... :wink:

And so it shall remain "goobledegook", as most things seem to be for you, but perhaps now you know where the Carbon for CO comes from and that H2 refers to Hydrogen gas.

( But instead of a 'thank you', you close with another of your trolling off-topic comments.)

Ah, you should have read the whole thread instead of just jumping on my post and making your normal argumentum ad hominem! :lol:

Because, we established earlier that H2 is in fact Deuterium and not Hydrogen gas and cannot be used in fuel cells. :roll:

My father used to say "think before you ink", a lesson you could well do with learning my dear.... :wink:
