Hydrogen Fuel! Scientist James Tour Demonstrates Method For Free & Clean Green Energy Alternative

Making Graphene and Cleaning the Environment in a Flash with Flash Joule Heating
Taken from www.hamline.edu/academics/und...
About the 2023 lecture
Dr. Tour will discuss using the flash Joule heating (FJH) process to convert carbon products into graphene in 100 milliseconds, using no solvents or water and an input of just $30 in electricity per ton of graphene, which has a commercial value of approximately $100,000. The process can be used on waste materials such as rubber, plastic, and food waste and is being scaled to ton-per-day production by summer. In addition, using this graphene for composites formation will be discussed, and a method of using natural gas for energy with zero CO2 emissions will be presented.
The FJH process can be used for urban mining electronics waste, obtaining rare earth elements from fly ash and bauxite residue, and one-step soil remediation of organics, perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and heavy metals.

In the early 80s, I was leading the Fuel cell development technology and its application in generating electric power. It was a costly endeavor and my demonstration plant in Con Edison was shelved. It is good news that my favored doctor has developed a great alternative to hydrogen fuel. God bless you, my friend.

[@WizzRacing]

I still believe Hydrogen fuel Cells are worth the investment. As technology has caught up with cost to produce it. And you get the benefit of clean water as a byproduct. Which can be repurposed..Just as RV owners have learned they can repurpose AC units condensation they produce. Up to 5 gallons a day.. Not sure how long an anode last in Fuel Cells. If they last over 25 years. You would cut replacement cost way above that which batteries cost. Given the standard life cycle of Lithium Batteries is around 4000 cycles or 10 years. And they use more resources to produce. Adding to the environmental impact of producing them. As the cost is around $300.00 per 100ah of storage capacity or 1250 watts.. The average home requires 8-10k watts to run everyday.. You can do the math on the upfront cost in batteries alone. About $2,200.00 US at $300.00.. Then you need a power source to charge them back up at 80% discharge for the next day use...Hydrogen Fuel cells can do this night or day. No Sun required..

[@flxblflyr]

Very promising- I hope that these ideas can scale quickly and perform as well as you are describing. Both of the outputs are scarce and have transformational potential. It would be a sweet twist to make money turning waste plastic into hydrogen and usable graphene. And I'm not suggesting you are doing this for money, but I see profitability as an engine for scaling up, and this needs scale. Other interesting things that jump out: the input stream does not need to be refined, the byproducts are hydrocarbons, which we know how to handle, and there's a plausible way to scale (nice piston-engine illustration, BTW). Finally, I'm encouraged that you see this as a stepping stone to some better thing which will surely emerge in the coming decades. This limited-view-forward is a useful and wise way to look at technology- as it helps avoid paralysis by waiting for perfection.

[@unrelativistic]

I agree. And I think profitability is the real key point here. Only a profitable process & product will gain traction. We went from whale oil to petroleum not because of a save-the-whales movement (that came later), but because petroleum was a cheaper source of energy (because it was plentiful and could be accessed reliably) that turned out to also have other exploitable properties. Scare tactics won't move people very far--they'll soon see through it. A profitable alternative will move people. Because everyone has a bottom line. And I'm talking individuals, not just big corporations.

Dave Farina would slaughter him. Within the first minute he makes his first error. There are far more than 3 elements that can make fuel. H2, hydrocarbons (not carbon, but carbon-hydrogen molecules), and .... the many of radioactively unstable elements capable of spontaneous fission, eg plutonium, uranium, throrium, etc. With regard to using waste plastic he has made no effort to provide the scale of the waste product relative to the demand for hydrogen. So it's possible to make a small amount of H2 cheaply, but it doesn't provide anywhere near enough H2 to be useful. Like most chemists, he is not an economist nor engineer. Much Dunning-Kruger. The rest of the discussion was mostly gish gallop unrelated to H2 . Legal contracts, and other unrelated issues.

Too little CO2 is a problem, but with increased CO2, plants are able to survive better in semi-arid areas, which is why the deserts are shrinking. CO2 also boosts food production. The plants use the CO2 to produce more oxygen, which we and all other animals need to survive. CO, NO2, SO2 and other byproducts are the only things we need concern ourselves with, not CO2. Also, aren't Uranium and Thorium also nuclear fuels?

As far as generators that utilize mechanical advantage to leverage turning force to create electricity from various sources of applied torque, I would say that a hybrid system which leverages torque efficiently could incorporate hydrolysis, to produce steam, in concert with hydraulic pressure, and AC induction, would be sufficient to be a prime mover. If the four wheels of a vehicle were tri motive impeller/vane driven "motors" then hydrogen, from a hydrogen generator, could leverage mechanical advantage to produce high torque hydraulic pressure to drive a vane, at the wheel, in concert with steam to drive an impeller at the wheel, and DC stored power, in a couple of battery banks could be converted to provide AC induction at the same wheel. A system which can flash steam, using small amounts of hydrogen, and oxygen could both run a small steam-electric generator, while also driving an impeller at the wheel, and the electricity could also run a hydraulic pump, leveraging mechanical advantage, while providing high torque, low RPM drive at the vane. The entire hydrogen system would be computer controlled to maximize efficiency, and utilize regenerative braking to scavenge hydraulic pressure, and the AC induction ring could be inverted back, to scavenge power to recharge the batteries.

Who else heard Ian Crossland talking about this on the Timcast IRL Iowa caucus town hall with Vivek Ramaswamy?

[@GoodQuestionsLeadToGoodAnswers]

To enhance the hydrogen economy, a company is advocating the transformation of hydrogen into green methane. This innovative process involves the synthesis of atmospheric carbon with hydrogen. The term "green methane" aptly describes this technique, as it avoids introducing additional carbon into the atmosphere. Instead, it operates by effectively removing carbon from the atmosphere during synthesis and subsequently releasing it back upon combustion. The chemical reaction driving this process is established and widely recognized. Notably, the handling of methane, encompassing aspects like storage and transportation, doesn't necessitate the development of new technologies. This strategic approach circumvents various challenges associated with hydrogen handling. An additional advantage is that the conversion of existing combustion engines to accommodate methane combustion is a straightforward process.

Because of the profit, they squashed centuries of development in order to sell us overpriced oil. Harnessing atmospheric energy is another form of free energy that got swept under the rug and it's now gaining traction again.

I guess Big Oil wouldn't have liked that. Probably still doesn't

How do you keep the graphene from being released? Putting it in building materials...

[@jessiep63]

Hello there doctor, do we have it in the Philippines? I hope our government have your projects! I love your debates esp. with people who aren't christians.

Dr, Tour, This is amazing! I'm a big fan. I wonder if you've thought about creating a "Mr. Fusion" device ala "Back to the Future". If you haven't seen that movie, the scientist friend creates a small version of a fusion device to power his time machine... long short short, the idea is, could you process scrap plastic in a car size device (safely) to produce the hydrogen gas which runs the engine? I think the biggest limitation to new technology is acceptance by Industry. But Market Acceptance has been much easier. If you create the graphene-hydrogen fuel tank they (we) will beat a path to your door. And you wouldn't have to worry about Industry/Governments doing bad things to stop your technology. Best Wishes, Mike

If this could be achieved, it would be amazing. Elon should off unlimited plastic re-cycle, extract the hydrogen with excess power not being used, generate hydrogen and use to help power, with the sole aim to generate carbon and reuse in his current production for free, thus saving him money, making money cleaning up the environment and speeding up a green economy.

Propane and natural gas are inadequate for producing enough power to operate our trucks in the mountains (and we deliver propane) so we have to use combustion engines. How are hydrogen fuel cells in comparison?

If you have a moment I would love to know more
