Clean fuel for future multi-megawatt electrical power
generation and heating
Howard Phillips and Thomas H. Pike
Coal replaced by Hydrogen?
Coal
Why can’t it happen?
Coal replaced by Hydrogen?
• Why can’t it happen?– No better fuel exists– Will NOT happen until a better fuel exists
• Method needed to make cheap HOD
What method?
Method to make cheap HOD
Catalyst
Water
A better idea, to get more hydrogen
New CATALYST
Advantages: High reaction rate – lots of hydrogen.No electrical input, no electrolyte, no corrosion, no
emissions and no environmental problems.
Input
What is CC?
Output
What is Catalytic Carbon?
Normal carbon, chemically treated to become a heterogeneous catalyst
Input Output
Not consumed
Other advantages?
Patent Pending
Advantage
Advantages
One Aluminum atom three hydrogen atoms
Water to aluminum ratio = 3
Other advantages?
FUEL
Catalytic Carbon will be cheaper, pound-for-pound than bottled water.
When Catalytic Carbon is in production, what will be the COST?
Advantages
And…What about aluminum?
Advantages
• Aluminum is the world's most abundant metal. It is extracted from Bauxite. Current reserves of Bauxite = enough to meet our needs for Aluminum for the next few centuries.
• Recycling (optional) reduces cost, saves energy, the environment and resources.

Advantage: Aluminum is cheap
U.S. Dollars per metric ton
Advantages
Pure Aluminum NOT required.
Less pure Aluminum = Lower cost
Advantages
Pure water NOT required.
Salt water works well.
Advantages
1. No electricity needed2. No power input required to sustain hydrogen production4. pH neutral5. No electrolyte
No Corrosion
Stays in liquid.Can be recycled.
Automatic separation of hydrogen and liquid
Gas vapor
(bubbles)
Advantages
Advantages
1. Any temp
2. Any pressure
3. In liquid
We prefer 180F, in water, at 1 ATM
Temp = 174F
Hydrogen
bubbles
Advantages
100% of Emissions are Eliminated
No Smokestack needed
No Particulate Matter
No Carbon Dioxide
No Nitrous Oxides
No Sulfur Dioxide
No Mercury
Technology Verified?
Technology Verification
1. Flame test
Technology Verification
1. Flame test
2. Hydrogen purity test
The purity of our hydrogen was measured to be approximately 93%. The hydrogen production began with air in the container and in the tubes leading to the measurement instrumentation. The remaining 7% was believed to be water vapor/air; the amount of the water vapor depends on the temperature.
93% H2Independent Test Lab
Technology Verification

EPA’s dream for the future ?• No emissions, no pollution
Industry’s dream for the future ?• No emissions, no pollution
• Lower cost fuel; No coal
• Lower cost for EPA compliance
Industry must solve problems
Path forward
Eliminate emissions
No Energy Input
Can this method be scaled up?
No energy input needed after the water is warmed up to about 180F
Path forward
