Two billion people on earth do not have electricity.
Global energy need driven by 3 billion low energy users in the non legacy world will roughly double by midcentury.
New R&D needed to provide the world with the “fast food” equivalent of energy systems.
Grid parity, fly-wheel, pumped water, compressed air,Li-ion batteries, ultracapacitors

When the input devices produce more energy than is required by the load, the excess energy is converted by an electrolyzer to electrolytic hydrogen.
H2O → ½ O2 + H2
Conversely, during a time of input energy deficit, this process is reversed and the hydrogen produced earlier is reconverted to electrical energy through a fuel cell.◦ Anode Reaction: 2H2 + 2O–2 → 2H2O + 4e–◦ Cathode Reaction: O2 + 4e– → 2O–2
WHAT IS HYDROLYSIS??

Energy density of H2 is ≥1k times larger than the upper limit of battery storage capacity.
Hydrogen can be used as a fuel for portable (vehicles) or stationary energy generation.
Totally void of Carbon emissions . Scientist James Barber of Imperial College
London hailed this as “enormous implications for the future prosperity of humankind.”

Inspired by photosynthesis to develop photoelectrolysis. Sunlight to split water.
Catalyst consisting of cobalt metal, phosphate and an electrode, placed in water.
Works at room temperature, in neutral pH water, and easy to set up.
The cobalt oxygen-evolving catalyst (Co-OEC) can use an energy input from a photoanode or photovoltaic.
Cobalt Phosphate Catalyst

• The hydrogen will be stored in two 0.47 cubic meter(125 gallon) propane tanks, and the oxygen will be stored in one propane tank.
• The produced hydrogen gas is pressurized by the electrolyzer to its maximum rated pressure.
• Hydro-electrical power from dams, wind-energy and solar energy sources can all be fitted with hydrogen electrolysis units in order to produce enough hydrogen.

Tanks are repeatedly fast-filled using real gas and emptied slowly for testing.(cycle test)
The tank is monitored for permeation rates at 700 bar pressure.(permeability test)
Hydrogen sensors for testing leaks.

Make hay while the sun shines.
Then use thestored hydrogen
to produce heat and
electricity on demand,day or night!
