Electric jet engine motor?
Hi All,
An electric jet engine motor? https://www.foxnews.com/science/nasa...m-eco-disaster Huh? What am I missing? -T |

Obvious problem with hydrogen is carrying enough fuel since it requires temperature only about 20 deg C above absolute zero. It is not eco free either as it has to come from electrolysis or petroleum which is the pollution source. |

It clearly talks about fuel cells and shows them generating electric to run motors to power fans. It sure sounds very stupid because you would think you could just burn the hydrogen in some kind of jet engine directly instead and save a lot of weight too. |

I don't know what you get when burning hydrogen. Maybe or maybe not a harmful byproduct. The fuel cell will only produce water. Hydrogen dioxide, really nasty stuff... |

I don't know what you get when burning hydrogen. Maybe or maybe not a harmful byproduct. The fuel cell will only produce water. That may be the point of the artical. Hydrogen and oxygen could be produced by the water wheel electric generators, so no polution there. Probably just wild dreams. Maybe a good idea, but not practical at the present time. Just as Dick Tracey's 2 way wrist vidio phone. That is now possiable. Obviously when you burn hydrogen you get water and yes if your source of electrolysis is hydroelectric there is practically no pollution. But hydroelectric is maxed out and supplemented with atomic energy, coal and gas fired generators. Wind and solar is only practical is some areas. Burning hydrogen is somewhat more polluting than use in a fuel cell as byproducts like nitrogen oxides are avoided. I don't see a hyper-sonic plane driven by fans or propellers. Fuel cells can use other sources than hydrogen like lpg or methanol which are easier to transport. Our state of DE got bamboozled by Bloom Energy in subsidizing their fuel cells for generation of our electricity by natural gas. These cells are less efficient than turbines burning the gas and are not pollution free throughout their life cycle. |

I remember the puff piece on Sixty Minutes about five years ago where they claimed the Bloom Boxes were The Next Big Thing and how Google was buying them to power their facilities. Yeah, lots of Big PR Money there.

I don't know what you get when burning hydrogen. Maybe or maybe not a harmful byproduct. The fuel cell will only produce water. So will burning it. Which is why it's an ideal fuel. That may be the point of the artical. Hydrogen and oxygen could be produced by the water wheel electric generators, so no polution there. Probably just wild dreams. At the taxpayer's expense.

Yeah, lots of Big PR Money there. Thanks I'd all but forgotten that big breakthrough that was portrayed on 60 Minutes. Very impressive piece, showing the ones that were deployed at some very big companies. That must be ten years ago. Haven't heard anything since and I don't hear of them being deployed, sounds like much ado about nothing. |

It is not eco free either as it has to come from electrolysis or petroleum No it doesnt, it can also be generated directly by nukes, without using electrolysis. And electrolysis using intermittent renewable energy like solar and wind is one way to help with the intermittency of those energy sources. which is the pollution source. Not with nukes and renewable power generation. |

There is a surcharge of maybe five bucks a month on our electric bills, Bloom has not brought the jobs it promised to the state and there is that pollution problem. State also got hoodwinked on offshore windmill study that resulted in nothing and electric cars being manufactured at our old GM site. Bloom is at our old Chrysler plant site. Maybe both auto plants may have been retained but the state joined other states with carbon limits and effectively chased out a lot of heavy industry. Car paint lines are responsible for most of their plant emissions. Our only refinery was shut down and a friend in the EPA said our Dem Governor appeared gleeful. Then they discovered they chased out a lot of good jobs and the taxes that came with them and helped get the refinery reopened. |

But it cost many dollars to produe the Algae. Add phosfates to rivers, streames, lakes an ponds. Then refine it Seems moonshine would be easier for fuel. |
