“If you are going to build a system that needs a lot of water and the resulting product will be transported hundreds of miles to be used,”
1. You don’t need a lot of water
2. It is not going to be transported hundreds of miles
3. https://www.universalclass.com/i/course/reading-comprehension-101.htm
That’s why hydrogen can enter metals.
Yes, they have. The power required makes in economically unfeasible.
“The spice must flow”
Survival stills for use in the desert have been around for the last sixty years.
Hmmm...take water from desert air when there are lakes and rivers and ocean alloverdaplace....genius..why not dry out the deserts more?.... The bugs and low moisture requiring plants won’t mind..hubrisosity city.
“Commence Operation....Vacu-Suck!”
Nothing could happen there right?
Anybody remember the story of that old German blimp, what was it's name, Oh I remember now,
The Hindenberg.
“But, like a lot of other things, everything old is new again at some point. ;)”
What is new is the source of water combine with solar power.
Nothing magical about running H2 through piping. It is done on a daily basis in refineries in the Reformer units and Hydrodesulferization units. Be careful at flanged connections for H2 leakage. Hyrogen flame is invisible and you definitely don’t want to walk through one.
“Yes, they have. The power required makes in economically unfeasible.”
Solar power is very feasible in remote sunny locations.
“Green” was in the article. Trigger word for FReepers causing all logic and reasoning to be discarded in favor of ignorant comments and crude jokes.
Pixie dust and (drum roll) LUCKYDAYSIUM!
“I still fail to see the big advantage or a good reason to do things the hard way.”
Dude. If you lived in a village that had no electricity and little water you would be singing a different tune.
I know about the deserts, but...
why do the electrolysis out there, when, like I said, water is everywhere? Electrolysis can be done with abundant water elsewhere, and then the hydrogen can be transported to where it’s needed, including the desert. It wold still end up more cost-effective if done away from the desert.
