great content thanks

The Germans used hydrogen peroxide monopropellant to power the Me 163A testbed, the booster for the Hs 293B guided bomb and various RATO projects. Sweden used them for torpedoes and missiles.

Sounds good.. but what if there is no other catalyst that isn’t a rare element? Still.. this Video deserves much more views then just 3000 in one year!

[@thekaxmax]

catalysts are not used up, that's the point, and you usually don't need much. So the cost disappears into the noise over time. Have a look at the platinum in your car exhaust; never runs out, tiny amount, lasts longer than your car does, cost is insignificant compared to the car as a whole. There is also an artificial material that works as a catalyst the same way platinum does but doesn't use platinum.

Only 5 comments to such an amazing video?

Very interesting technology.

I see loads of problem using H2O2 at both electrodes in a membraneless environment! 1. What will be theoretical emf of such a cell?

[@pzacle]

Awesome!

[@SimoneCoccia]

Geniale!

[@micahdelport2363]

Is it safe though? All those reactions happening in your home? I would love free reneweable energy it just sounds a bit explosive.

[@aniksamiurrahman6365]

Don't worry, it's not like children play with gasoline, either. H2O2 for cars will just be inside those jerrycans.

[@thekaxmax]

compared to natural gas in a stove?

One day I was praying and I asked the living God what the cars of the future would be powered by and he told me they would be powered by the magnetic field of the Earth.. I don't claim to understand how that would work but if he said it then I believe it and if we want to look somewhere for an energy source that is destined to be the power source for vehicles of the future that is where we should look

[@thekaxmax]

no, that doesn't work. That's like putting a boat on the sea and trying to power it using the sea. Also, it's too diffuse.

[@portlandlocalchurch8168]

@@thekaxmax if it doesn't work the way you see it then you aren't seeing it the way it works

[@thekaxmax]

@@portlandlocalchurch8168 Then inform us, with references and demonstrated details. Also, given your statement "I don't claim to understand how that would work", your reply I entirely fatuous. If you don't know then you cannot say anything definitive about it. What I can see is that, for you, if you can think it it works cos god. And that's not how the world works.

We need an Edison generator and dynamos power systems and electric vehicles. Unlimited flight electric airplanes that fly at normal speed for an unlimited amount of time. We fly around the world without a drop off fuel. We power cities and desalinate seawater without a drop of fuel. Zero fuel power and zero current application of basic electricity.

[@thekaxmax]

how does 'unlimited amount of time' work for an aircraft?

[@markcampbell7577]

A permanent magnet is permanent sources of energy. A permanent magnet motor as a generator is an Edison generator. Add inverters and transformers to teach power lines. A more natural less toxic solar power system is needed. Fossil fuels and nuclear power is without a doubt obsolete.

[@pr5991]

Fossil fuels and nuclear power is without a doubt obsolete, however, to make A permanent magnet, it takes lot of mining, processing, heat and electric charging

[@thekaxmax]

a permanent magnet is only a source of energy is if it's moving--it's an energy /converter/ from motion to electricity, /not/ a source.
