University of Arkansas researchers find inexpensive H2 fuel production method | Ozoniser

Please realize that it’s peak demand, not average demand, that determines the capacity required by the electrical grid and generation system. That is, unless you are willing to live with rolling blackouts at the most inopportune times.

Grand Junction, Colorado seemed like the perfect spot for Jerry Nelson and his wife to retire from Champaign, Illinois, where he had been an economics professor at the University of Illinois. Ringed by stunning mountains and nestled against the confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers, the city of 62,000 people offered an ideal climate and plenty of hiking opportunities.

Think about a small economy car with a 50 mile battery range, and a small propane engine that offsets the energy drain to extend the mileage. Could this be a cheap way to significantly improve the range of the vehicle and keep an economy level cost? Similar to a hybrid but less effective and much cheaper?

Ozone gas is also naturally occurring – it forms the layer in the Earth’s atmosphere that protects life from the sun’s harmful rays. Anacail says ozone is safe to use in food decontamination, and none can leak out from the sealed packs. 

Oxygen is used for medical hyperbaric therapies done in an hyperbaric oxygen chambers for treatment of soft tissue infections, thermal burns, crush injuries, diabetes related wounds, delayed radiation injuries, certain skin grafts and flaps etc. Oxygen gas is used to treat patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Breathing apparatus made up of oxygen are used in hospitals to treat patients, also by mountaineers and scuba divers while diving and trekking. Oxygen is used in combination with acetylene for metal cutting, melting and welding purposes. It is also used by mining companies to blast off the rocks. Liquid oxygen is used in launching bipropellant vehicles and gaseous oxygen is used to support rocket fuel combustion in spaceships. Oxygen is also used as an assist gas for laser and plasma cutting. It is also added in small quantities to shielding gases. Oxygen is used to increase the production capacity of oxidation processes and in its purest form, oxygen is used to manufacture many useful chemicals such as titanium dioxide and ethylene oxide. In glass manufacture, oxygen is used to enhance combustion in glass furnance and reduce emissions of NOx. Oxygen is used to enhance or replace air in industries for ferrous as well as non-ferrous production of metals. In biotechnology, oxygen is critical for applications related to the cell growth. In pharmaceuticals, oxygen is used in fermenters and bioreactors. Oxygen is used in many refineries in order to enhance the capacity of Sulphur Recovery Units (SRU) and Fluid Catalytic Cracking plants (FCC), which improve waste water treatment operations.

"It is critically important to the rapidly developing national renewable energy sector," Professor MacFarlane said.

– I never touched any of these crypto currencies. I did read W. Richter’s warnings and decided to wait. But now I don’t have any appetite anymore.

High-precision 3D printing of liquid silicone is achieved using a new oil-based microgel as a support medium.

R&D laser spending saw modest growth in 2018. The U.S. saw a small increase in laser R&D spending, with China maintaining its high laser R&D spending (43% of the worldwide total and growing) as in past years while Europe, despite its economic slowdown, was flat. Military laser revenue had a great year in 2018. After some successful testing in previous years, the U.S. and a few other countries are moving forward with plans for more directed-energy laser weapons. These weapons are not intended to destroy intercontinental ballistic missiles as once hoped, but instead are geared toward defending against drones and other smaller, fast-moving targets.

“Importantly, this technology will reduce food waste too, so retailers will see lower levels of waste. That, combined with improved quality, will mean happier customers and fewer complaints. It doesn’t affect the taste or smell of the product either.”  Berries, grapes and tomatoes

My Chemistry of the Elements textbook has a page dedicated to “The Hydrogen Economy”. It’s so funny to read nowadays.

"In a practical context this requires robust electromaterials – catalysts, which can accelerate two half-reactions of the water splitting process – the hydrogen evolution and the oxygen evolution reactions," he said.
