There’s a fuel that produces twice as much energy per gallon as gasoline, whose only emission is water, and which, as the most abundant element in the universe, we’ll never run short of.
It’s hydrogen.
Hydrogen is already fueling public transit buses in California and Hawaii. Anheuser Busch is buying 800 hydrogen fueled tractors to pull their beer trailers across the country. Material handling forklift fleets are already at work for Sysco Foods, FedEx Freight, Wegmanns supermarkets, Coca-Cola, Kimberly Clark, Whole Foods, and at a Toyota factory in Japan. And the world’s first hydrogen powered passenger train has started making regularly scheduled 120-mile round trips from Buxtehude to Cuxhaven and back.
In fuel cells, hydrogen has longer range than equivalent lithium-ion batteries, doesn’t require hours of recharging, and tops up in minutes, just like gasoline, at a filling station.
So it would be one truly renewable, sustainable, “green” fuel – if only it weren’t for just one catch.
You see, in addition to being the world’s most abundant and lightest element, hydrogen’s arguably the most chemically active. So it doesn’t naturally exist in pure form. It needs to be electrolytically separated by from other elements it combines with – most often natural gas (methane) or water. That requires huge amounts of electricity.
Once separated, the hydrogen needs to be repeatedly pressurized and cryogenically cooled to liquid form, for transportation, storage and refueling. This requires even more megawatts of electricity.
All that power consumption makes today’s cost of hydrogen fuel about triple that of natural gas. Making matters worse, conventionally generating those huge amounts of electricity also generates huge amounts of greenhouse gases.
SustainTech can help you generate the power while radically reducing both the cost and the emissions with Fuel Free Combined Cycle Generation . FFCCG burns no fossil fuels, has no carbon footprint whatever, and releases nothing toxic into the environment. Instead of burning coal or natural gas to heat steam that drives generators, it cyclonically superheats up to 450,000 pounds of air per hour to 1600º F. Then it feeds that high-speed, high-pressure, superheated air into a commercially available, off-the-shelf waste heat boiler that produces massive quantities of pressurized steam. That steam then drives a generator – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, rain or shine, windy days or calm ones, unlike other forms of sustainable energy.
The entire system is computer controlled, remotely monitored, is low-maintenance, and can fit in a basement, a bunker or on otherwise useless land outside.
And unlike other forms of sustainable energy, FFCCG takes up surprisingly little space.
A 1.5 to 3 mW system fits into two modules 8 feet high by 10 feet wide by 30 feet long. Combining these modules like building blocks lets you generate 500kW, 1mW, 3mW, 12.5mW…all the way up to 500mW of fuel-free, emissions-free electric power.
Power to change the world’s transportation for the better.
