- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- This Hydrogen Solar Panel, developed by the Belgian Startup called "The Solhyd Project," is an all-in-one solution to produce pure green Hydrogen with only solar Energy and Air.
It solves many problems by replacing expensive large-scale battery systems with a limited Battery Lifespan.
But the new Hydrogen solar Panels are particularly exciting for home users as well, as it enables decentralized off grid hydrogen production for every household.
Enabling the dream of living off the grid.
Hydrogen could be an efficient energy storage alternative to battery systems but could also be sold at a profit since Green Hydrogen becomes increasingly important in decarbonizing Heavy Industry and Transport.
But how does this New Hydrogen Solar panel Work?
What are the benefits over conventional Solar panels?
What is this hydrogen breakthrough all about?
We'll find out in today's Video.

Im sorry folks there is a mistake in the Video at 3:34. of course its 4-8 MWh per year (4000-8000kWh).
4-8kWh wouldnt make any sense 😅
Thats exactly what I thought. Thanks for correction 😄
8 MWh is way too low for most small houses in nordic countries. Trippel that 24MWh / year and most normal villa with two electric cars is covered.
I have a small villa and a heatpump, live alone and only one EV. that I don't use much. I use about 8MWh / year.
This is old tech. Check out: Hydrogen House Project
There is an American startup in Las Vegas NV also that mimics phosynthesis, And it’s publicly traded. HYSR is the stock symbol
Same in UK, but as alot have done.....done small systems and stuck two fingers up to the greedy energy companies.
My Grand father did the same thing with an old wind charger back in the 40's through the 70's until he sold the ranch. He stored the HO in a tractor tire tube tied to the bottom of a water tank. The weight of the water provided the pressure to push out the gas to the cook stove. I think he even had a shop cutting torch or maybe a brazing torch powered by OXY and HO.
Your grand farther sounds like a clever man, I would have liked to have meet him, I hope you follow in his foot steps.
Yes I would liked to have meet your old man and go play some dodgems with him and buy him some icecream
@@apollo8352 I was 8 years old when my father explained how it worked in 1972. My grandfather and father set it up. I have only seen one other system like it. It was in central S.D. and I was hauling hot water from a geothermal spring back to a drilling rig in the oil field. The spring heated all the outbuildings then the ranch house, But I digress, the rancher that had the spring also had a similar Hydrogen fuel set up and he built the burners for his cook stove and I believe he also built the tips for his cutting torch. It had to do with orifice size to burn properly. In both set ups the gas generator housing was a glass battery case.
@@lorencolt Hi there.....we seem to forget town gas was originally hydrogen, before they changed it to the more polluting natural gas hydro carbon.....if memory serves me, all they did to convert from hydrogen to natural gas was change the gas jets.
But I especially like your grandfathers gas manometer storage..... I played around with hydrogen and fuel cells trying to store electricity as hydrogen then changing it back to electricity when I needed it...but storage was always an issue since it leaks out of most things, but a tractor tire tube under water is genius!
Of course with these hydrogen cars they have realised you need a facility like NASA to liquefy hydrogen so it takes up about 17000 times less space....so storing hydrogen as a gas enough to travel a car long distances requires really high pressure storage, I think they are looking at in excess of 30 Bars, which is a hell of a lot if energy taken up by storage.
Thanks for your reply
@@apollo8352 If big gov did not make it illegal to buy (But not use?) due to it being used in weapons, Lithium-6 Deuteride works perfectly to bond hydrogen so it can be stored at much lower pressure. Research is being done to use a carbon matrix for lower pressure storage.
Great idea. Never work in Australia because government will never let decentralised elect/h2 production as this will erode the profits of the foreign owned energy companies.
You mean it will never work in Australia because the average citizen won't make the government change to do things
@@divergentthg7925 The government is sleeping with big business & the US. I do not understand the average voter, they seems unaware of the power and corruption in the government. They are more interested in sports and social media....I know it is not only AU, but we are better at getting Donald Ducked.
I live in hope. More people than ever know governments exist to enrich a few via massive companies at the expense of us and especially the poor around the world.
A few humans have always abused the rest. I think that is changing and why governments are cracking down and using fear as tool. A tool thats slowly undermining them.
@@paarker I hope you are right. Viva La Revolution!!
Don't ask them.
The future looks fascinating! Everything is advancing super fast on all areas of technology atm. The biggest revolution in clean energy is happening right under our eyes!
Unless their electrodes are Platinum it's a gimmick. I've been working with hydrogen for over 15 years I have built things similar to this 10 years ago. The problem is that the electrodes do not last unless you're a government agency you have some kind of government sponsorship doubt you're going to be able to keep replacing electrodes. I have a brand new prototype I'm about to finish building but it cost me almost $4,000 to build it. The reason is because the electrodes cost me 3970 dollars. My containment units are already rapidly produced. I figured that out years ago. There's also a certain point where during a long run you have to worry about tridium buildup as well as deuterium causing your water to become less conductive. It's only happens after the unit's been running for a few months but can be problematic. Deuterium does not do any damage to the containment unit as long as water will not hurt that containment unit, heavy water will not allow electricity to flow properly though. Tritium is a free radical that is produced during electrolysis process. Depending on if you're storing fuel or continuously using it on demand tritium can become a problem. I found this out the hard way when some of my containment units started to Glow after 3 months of continuous use. Who knows how long I had been breathing tritium before I knew I needed to vent through a bubbler and outside of the shop to empty the units.
No matter what color hydrogen is made, the gas piping of the house heated by natural gas will need changed to safely use hydrogen. Hydrogen gas embrittles most metals and plastics and also leaks very readily... in some cases, it can leak through the walls of the tubing or storage container, not just any fitting joints.
You are absolutely correct. A home hydrogen tank will leak (eventually) and it is extremely explosive.
Storing hydrogen at home will be about as safe as storing nitroglycerin.
These Green Energy dreamers are so out of touch with reality it isn't funny.
They're going to get somebody killed.
They didn't say hydrogen will come through the gas main. They said a gas made from hydrogen has the same properties and could safely mix with mains gas and be used for green steel production.
@Murdock They have upgraded the gas mains the UK to take hydrogen. Though it will probably be methane hydrogen mix as you cannot make hydrogen smell.
Mixing the gas is one option, another option is to power a fuel cell and thus the system in the house will have to be made full electric.
Very nice information Sir...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍👍👍
It sounds far too good. The manufacturer and The Futurist conveniently ignore the problems associated with hydrogen. Storage is extremely tricky, it leaks very easily. Also, have you considered the problem of hydrogen embrittlement?
Exactly. For what it would cost to install these very complex panels, install high-pressure, leak proof pipes, fittings and pressure vessels, you could install standard panels, battery storage and buy a nice EV with vehicle to load capability.
Yeah they need to stop lying. You can't replace fissile fuels.
What are you going to use to power a Bucket Wheel Excavator? What are you going to use to replace IV tubes with? Can someone show me an alternative solution to a jet engine that does not use petrochemicals? We have nothing that can replace petroleum products.
In most case it only needs to be stored for a short time. People have done this in the past and now we have better materials. Hydrogen is a small atom that can pass through some materials. That is a fact, but it doesn't need to discourage all progress. It has incredible energy density and it is the most common atom in the universe. I used to play with it when I was a kid, I think it has potential.
@@rowgler1 Energy density of hydrogen is low compared to other fuels, just google it. Also, it can be liquified only at very low temperatures and high pressure.
@@PAIP_Studio JCB has a backhoe that runs on hydrogen right now. Link ua-cam.com/video/3fWmQgXcdqA/v-deo.html
You lost me a bit earlier than this, but the comment "It extracts water from the humidity in the air" reveals the project is highly likely, not feasible. There are several issues here that I can raise off the top of my head:
1) you'd need a little power plant for each panel (huge waste and not practicable).
2) current process for water electrolysis is about 70-80%% efficient - so, to produce 1 kg of hydrogen (143 MJ/kg or about 40 kWh/kg) requires 50-55 kWh of electricity. Then lose another 30% of energy converting back to electricity. If each panel is say 400w, which will produce about 2kw a day, we get 1kw loss due to conversion, meaning in 1 month gives 20kw of power. This does not consider storage and compression energy loss).
3) you cannot extract enough water from the air at a good rate for this to even work (wasting more power for fans needing to move air about - specifically, air has a density of about 1.2 g/L, and water has a density of about 1 kg/L. if you had perfect capture (not possible), you need to shift 830 L of air. Actually, I take it back, the conversion rates for a panel are so poor, this may work, but you'd be better off relying on rain. In any case, this is more wasted power.
4) you need more than just water and solar power to extract hydrogen.
5) If in liquid form, hydrogen needs to be stored at -252.8 to remain a liquid, with over 5,000psi. As a gas, it has a low energy density and requires compression to 4 times that of natural gas. This all costs energy, so you will lose power to convert water to hydrogen and to just by keeping the gas.
6) there will be a high maintenance cost with so many separate power plants and complicated storage/conversion methods.
Simply put, the cost for all of this is very prohibitive with little return on investment. You'd be far better off storing the electrons in a battery as this process is uncomplicated, loses little by way of storage losses, is cheaper, does not require storage of hydrogen on-sight.... look, nice idea (*cough*), but makes very little sense at a local level due to the massive cost, loss of electricity during conversions, complicated storage, already having better technology to do the same job.
Clever idea. The winter might gum up your moister from the air portion as water has been known to freeze during the winter. Also, hydrogen, because it is a very small molecule,, has been known to be adsorb into iron. Thereby making iron vessels a sort of sieve. My guess that the team that put this nifty idea together would benefit from the advice of a Chemist.
It's not this company has been crushed by people who know physics and math on linkedin. One panel does 125 liters at atmospheric pressure on a sunny day. Which translates to 0.33kWh a day. That is NOTHING for a solar panel. And then you still have to bring it under pressure which also loses energy to store it. Then bring it into a fuel cell which you lose another 50% of energy to get electricity back. While conventional Lithium batteries have an IN-OUT efficiency of 90%.
*sigh* Hello unnecessary skeptic. I didn't hear anyone say the tank was made of IRON. I didn't hear anyone say that the tank didn't have an internal coating. I didn't hear anyone say that there were buckyballs involved. Did you Mr. Skeptic? No? I didn't think so. STOP TRYING TO STOP ADVANCES, either because you paid to, or because you are just a total defeatest. The reason doesn't matter - and frankly, no one should bother to listen.
Syngas sounds amazing as you can use it in existing applications…
Wow. Glad to see KWH correction in comments. Currently have 7.5 kW of solar panels with cycles of un-used PV power after battery bank is full. ... Wondering IF hydrogen generation could use my solar power via 120 vac output instead of your solar panels??? ... to produce hydrogen in an inner tube at bottom of a water tank. ??? Have you reviewed pros and cons of such options. I would love to have such an options for home heating (in addition to my mini split heat pumps), and maybe kitchen stove.
Amazing technology, I would definitely want my present solar system to be upgraded to hydrogen powered systems
Sunny countries will benefit greatly from this tech.
Yes I would certainly upgrade.Waiting for contact to order
This sounds Amazing and Fantastic. Problem is there are lots of Dark and Gloomy days now.
you do know if it sounds too good to be true its bs
Right. Due to them spraying the sky.
Good point. CT...
Thank You
The last thing he said made the most sense. Simplicity is everything!
Sign me on, it is a great idea and seems perfectly viable to me. Such a project would be ideal for all remot habitations from the Himilayas upto the Alps
It would be way better just to use the electricity generated by the solar panels !
we have hydrogen Busses already running in the UK, China, Kuching (Malaysia) and other cities. India will in the forefront Of H2
This is what I was waiting for
U where waiting for a scam ? :D lol
a couple of times you mention using photocatalytic hydrogen production (direct light->splits water using catalyst) but all the images show a photoelectric cell in the front implying that the standard electrochemical process powered by photoelectrics is being used ... which is it?
Several years ago, Cambridge University made multicoloured organic solar cells producing electricity at about 12% efficiency and I’m wondering if the intermediate was sugar. If so then the storage problem could be solved
Wow! Wish I can get this here in Africa, with all the abundant sunlight
I think it is part of the answer for the future as long the other parts of the solution come together, battery storage,gas storage tanks,the cost has to come down as it will in the future.
totally amazing
As I have a heat pump which is working well and solar panels/ev I am looking at battery storage to maybe complete my setup. Conventionally using green hydrogen for heating versus a heat pump requires 6 times more wind/solar. Not sure how stored hydrogen could be used with a heat pump and I am more than happy with my EV but I can see this might work for an industrial unit where they have space to install .
@D M Since Jun 22 I have achieved an average COP of 3.55. even at current UK cap cost of heat Gas = 10.3/0.9= 11.44p/kWh Electric = 35/3.55= 9.86p/kWh. However we have cheap off peak so our average cost of electric is about 26p/ kWh so cost of heat about 7.3p/kWh. Saving on our heat requirement 11184* (11.44-7.3) = £458 . Inc no standing charge over £500 cheaper. For DHW we have solar and night tariff etc.
Good info
I love it. Some big corp will buy the tech and hold it will not to be released.
What are they using as the cathode/anode? The good stuff that won't corrode is he'll expensive
I am not a good science student,, is there any climatic impact by drawing hydrogen from air/moisture , will it make the city dry ? or hot? or does it affect any other element.
These hydrogen panels has been developped by the university of Leuven and a spin off is doing further resaech. This started 3-4 years ago. At this moment you can forget an installation at your home as the gas must be kept under high pressure tanks. Hydrogen at home is not yet profitable. Hydrogen is mainly used for ships, trucks trains and other heavvy transport. No not for a car.
Fuel cells??
Toyota currently sells hydrogen cars in California…
@@TheNewMediaoftheDawn Its the only state that does this as they have a distribution network for hydrogen. Some firms ( as Colruyt ...) in belgiun has also hydrogen cars but its more for publicity.......we have a long way to go as now hydrogen for cars is way too expensif. That wil hopefully change in time.
Im in the ship industry. We install lately a lot of batteries. But had "almost" one hydrogen project. But Hydrogen is NOT used for ships yet. And trucks are now failing fast as batteries get better. Hydrogen is a failure.
Beautiful for our next gen y
Great tech I would like as a homeowner in the Netherlands. Now we can use the electric network as a battery (produce in the summer, consume in the winter). However this option wil end soon.
The government wants the citizens to buy batteries for short-term storage. It would be better to centralise energy storage as mentioned in the video. But that's not the goal of our government. Therefore as a citizen, I would like priority for small consumers to utilize this tech.
I'm wondering what happens to the calcium deposits in the water, left after the breakdown of the H2O??
We don't need hydrogen tanks, a company in the US is using a "music" disk or cassette for storage the hydrogen and they were saying they've achieved 220 miles of range per cassette for electric cars, which would need only a battery of 5-6 kwh storage.
This is nuts.
The problem is you dont have a household export of hydrogen. You'd need all the piping to support export, and getting to where it needs. Which would still be a massive costly infrastructure change.
Is there silver in the new panels?
How do they work?
Is it the dark color that makes the heat and allows water to condense?
think that is why the uk gas pipes are undergoing upgrades to high denisty plastics😊
I'm only interested because of the decentralized nature of the tech. I think carbon based fuels are still superior in most every other respect. But being able to make your own hydrogen off grid is defiantly a big win.
We need this for RV’s ( recreational vehicles )
While normally using fuel cells would be a terrible idea because of low efficiency, you make up for it by using the waste heat - which is great in the winter in cold climates. (You would not want this in Florida!) However, there is still quite a loss of energy when you make the hydrogen. You might consider using batteries for short term storage, hydrogen for seasonal storage. Since efficiency goes up when current flow goes down, you might want to send only a trickle to hydrogen and the rest to batteries during the day. At night you would use hydrogen if you needed the heat, otherwise you would make hydrogen from battery power, again at a low current for high efficiency, with the rest of the power going to the house.
I'm glad you have mentioned using hydrogen to produce heat. I feel many overlook that this is a very real possibility for what we can use hydrogen for.
Hydrogen eats through piping.I have generated my own independently for about 7 years.
Same problem with syngas.
All you have to do is hook up the dc output and pass it through water.
This automatically splits it.
Most set ups you see on youtube DON'T split the hydrogen from the oxygen,like you should.
The major problems are storage and safety.
If you wanted heat....simply make a sand battery.
Heat it using the electricity.Release its heat when required.
The larger the battery the more heat you can store.
Basically this battery is merely a length of resistance wire which is embedded in sand.
The wire heats the sand during the day.If your battery is stored below the house and has hollow pipes running through it,simply by pumping air through it the heat transfers to the air in the house.
The maintenance of this device is minimal,and a d''''ned sight safer then hydrogen and could be built by any 12year old.
(As proven by my kids)
Now,if you will excuse me my eldest wants to show me how he can make a small pyrotechnic explosion using flour,a candle,a tin and a bike pump whilst I prep some sandbags 😸
:-)
Is the 90% efficiency, the total possible energy per volume of hydrogen? Or is it considering energy used to make the gas?
I think the former is probably the case.
are you sure placing a hicg pressurized fluid 8x more flamable than gasoline in your home is a good idea?
The silliest thing in the process is at 3.02. When pure Oxygen is being produced do not waste it leaving to the air.
.
One can use it for filling Oxygen cylinders.
This Oxygen can in purified form be used in Hospital, Industry related to Burning, bunker oxygen supply, indoor plant cultivation, as a car fuel to burn limited amount of it as alternative to petroleum products etc.
😊😊😊
I can see great possibilities for this because Our infant structures can’t currently consistently maintain our electrical needs if we look at building houses in the future and how we update what houses we have so that they are more energy efficient this could possibly be a great part of our energy dependence this could be great for everyone but what are the side effects of hydrogen how dangerous is it there’s a lot of things that we just don’t know
Is H2 a similar gas to the HHO generators people were installing in their cars in the 2010s ?
Ive been trying to reach these guys for a while with no response
This product has similarities to SunHydrogen’s product but may be using very different chemical reactions. Green hydrogen needs to compete with grey, brown and blue hydrogen. Finally whatever form of hydrogen your using has to compete with the various other means of storing energy including using gravity as a long term means of energy storage as you can do with pumping water up to a high reservoir or lifting heavy weights up and down.
"Green hydrogen needs to compete with grey, brown and blue hydrogen"
I have produced clear hydrogen but never any with these colors.
Nice idea, but first you need to convince the home insurance companies that this can be done safely.
I love how the efficiency of H2 discussed leaves out the huge inefficiencies in production. It takes a lot of energy to 2 H2O -> 2 H2 + O2
Then more energy to compress the H2 for storage.
Then there is the issue of H2O collection, storage and usage.
1. In many areas that have the best solar potential also have low humidity. The South East US as an example.
2. Collecting this water also means collecting the impurities. Depending on the area, this could mean quickly "gumming" up the water system.
3. Not using purified water (and not using water with specific, designed chemistries) will lower efficiencies.
4. Not using purified water or water with specific added chemicals will lead to the creation of unknown chemicals.
a) using a system designed for NaCl as an additive creates Cl (chlorine gas) instead of O2
b) using a system designed for NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate) creates CO2 instead of O2
The inefficiency in creating H2 is a large reason for the high system costs. You must have a much larger solar system in order to create enough H2 for use during the winter. The bright side is that the more solar panels installed, the more electricity produced during the winter, which means less H2 required. At a certain point of adding solar panels you will create enough electricity in the winter that you don't need H2.
Then there is the crazy thought of H2 systems installed in homes that don't do the required maintanance because it's expensive. Imagine a leaking hose or fitting causing an H2 leak. H2 is extremely flamible. This H2 leak leads to bulk H2 storage only a few feet away.
Then there is the issue of the maintance on the water system. This will be a difficult and time intensive project that may be required every few months. Either the solar system is designed with large enough gaps to easily get to each panel's water system or many panels would need to be removed, cleaned, replaced and recertified. This would be another expense many home owners would not want to do. For an average home, this would cost several thousand dollars each time.
The high initial cost (even if they reduced this by 50% would still be about $100,000 to install) plus the yearly costs (of maintanance) means that for almost every installation there would never be a break-even point.
The Germans have just announced that they have for the first time store hydrogen in paste form which is extremely stable at a wide temperature range making it almost completely safe to store. It also stores the hydrogen at a much denser rate than in liquid form. It has 10 times the energy density of a lithium battery. They initially plan on using it in planes and drones enabling new designs and longer flight times with far less weight. It is likely to be used in flying cars one day soon I'm sure.
@@vanmore5124 You mean the technology that was supposed to have its pilot facility completed by the end of 2021, producing 4 tons of magnisium based paste annually?
The pilot still isn't completed.
Ironically, the latest article that I found is from June 8, 2022 claiming a completion by the end of 2021. You'd think they would shaved checked to verify is the pilot was completed 6 months prior, or at all.
Something tells me that the claims were nowhere near reality.
@@Slackware1995 Start at 4.30 mins in- ua-cam.com/video/O6OlocfFsok/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheTeslaDomain It should be noted that solar panels can be converted to produce hydrogen. It's expensive still but the cost will eventually be far cheaper.
I would love to have some of them to charger extra power for the night.
Looks promising tech, but let's see if the cost is sustainable as well...?
Generating hydrogen requires a large amount of energy before it can be put to it and use. Compressing the gas requires a lot of energy for starters.
Very viable solution
Storage and safety will be the major problems to solve.
If you follow their numbers, it produces enough hydrogen in a day to drive an HFCV about 2km. A solar panel the same size would produce enough to go about 12km in a typical EV, and you don't have to figure out storage, compression, etc.
I'm afraid that going from electricity to hydrogen and back again will always be an unnecessary and energy-wasting side trip. If you could do it without that being the case, you've invented perpetual motion.
clever idea
I would think that they lose efficiency splitting h20 into h2 02. Would it be more efficient to have more efficient solar pannel and use excess energy to run a splitter?.
Those people are dreaming of home nuclear reactors. They dont think of efficiency.
Hydrogen is a stand alone fuel that doesn't need to be converted into something else. When using hydrogen to power vehicles never throw away the oxygen as that's the secret to powering all types of vehicles as when water is broken down the resulting gases comes with all the oxygen it needs for complete combustion, thus any oxygen sucked into the combustion chamber will be extra.
Excess heat could be pump into ground during summer for use in winter with a heat pump.
so can I purchase one of these now? guess not so not a real product until I can get one in my hands. we call that unobtainium.
How does it compare with electrolysis ?.
Too costly enthusiast will own but not everyone. Because fuel cell system will cost a lot and now a days we can't predict the weather everywhere on the planet. And it's still dangerous to have hydrogen as storage for homes.
We need co2 for plants ,hiw the plants will survive without it?
Dry desert air would be a problem, may need to add a source of water.
Whether the item is already in the market and can be purchased..
Great idea I would change to hydrogen solar if the price was right
So it uses 4 x the electricity to produce heat at 4x less calorific value ! this is nonsense !
We are using Hhø fuel cells to drive out vehicles for last 10 years. Your research in the combination of both solar & hydrogen may help us to over come the energy shortage.
Wow, great idea... If you have hydrogen, you can use it for heating or for electricity
Wish we adopt hydrogen car and many household can store hydrogen, we have an answer.
@@jliengkul Of course we have an answer, there is so many hiden patents which can use. Consumer system is our enemy, technology development is purposely blocked.
so basically instead of using standard battery for storage, it use hydrogen as fuel for fuel cell which replace battery completely. the idea is good, but how efficient are these in real situation? 🤔
I wonder how this compares with a flow battery, which can also store energy for long periods
Yeah. Flow batteries are really interesting as well. Working on a video about that right now
But for 60% waste heat in Winter months in southern regions will not be useful since solar is available during winter time. So need heat recovery plans for other regions. Good for use in western city regions and homes.
I'm all for renewable energy sources. Many will be developed. The only problem I have with all this is that it is so expensive that low income people will be left out of the renewable energy revolution. In the past that's the way it was. Environmental injustices has always been forced upon low-income people. The least upon us have always had to pay the price with their health & wallet. I hope there is research being done so that everybody can partake of clean energy sources regardless of income levels..
What is the size of the panels ?
If you lose containment of hydrogen - It goes straight up to outer space... Lost... Methane gas is weighed down by a carbon atom, so the 4 hydrogen atoms are not lost to space. Methane gas is easy to make. The fuel is decaying plants. It's the perfect fuel. And it forms a closed cycle for re-use.
the cheapest version of the picea system costs about 60000 Euros. Their are quite a few systems already running in Germany since 2018. Instead of installing a swimming pool in your garden, you install such a system 😊. The good thing of the system is: it is very reliable technology and good german engineering. Picea builds about 100 systems per year. Scaling up will bring the prices down. The core technology is modular and not bigger than a refrigerator, with two parts: the hydrolysis unit and the hydrogen fuel cell unit, which turns h2 back to electricity and heat.
Greetings from Franconia
So nice new tech solar making h2 fuel.
The sustainability of the catalyst was not mentioned.
Awesome idea, syngas is a terrible name during these sinful days.
very nice
Very complicated, expensive and prone to failures.
Simpler solution:
Wood+o>fire>ash+heat+co2>tree+time>wood+o
An Internal Combustion Engine was also very complicated back in times.
We all remember what the Hindenburg was FULL of, RIGHT???
So if you do manage to seal the system, the volatility element remains
The Solhyd Project's Hydrogen Solar Panel represents an exciting development in the field of renewable energy, as it offers a decentralized, off-grid solution for green hydrogen production. By addressing some of the challenges associated with large-scale battery systems and conventional solar panels, this innovation could help accelerate the transition to cleaner energy sources. However, it's important to continue evaluating the efficiency, cost, and scalability of this technology to better understand its potential impact on the energy landscape, including its competitiveness with other hydrogen production methods and energy storage alternatives
Well said 👏🏾
All these inventions avoiding the obvious and that will not start a industrial revolution. Water is the greatest and best storage of hydrogen of all .
What happens if they use natural water instead of mist??
With hydrogen, we can still use our conventional ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles with some modifications, enabling them to run on pure hydrogen. This would make our ICE vehicles clean energy vehicles, even cleaner than EVs.
... yes, but do not forget the low thermodynamic yield of any engine based on a combustion (of any fuel wharsoever).
No you can't
Great idea. Now you will only have to pay around $50k to get the rest of the car converted to run on hydrogen. Plus the $300k to get the equipment to compress and store the hydrogen. Then you will need about 120 of those panels to create enough hydrogen to be useful for driving. Good luck with that.
@@Aircam73 I'm not talking about ALL of it. I'm talking about people who wish to use their ICE vehicles instead of buying a new and dedicated one. That would be cleaner.
@@Schjoenz What I am saying is most people that say things like you keep saying know almost nothing about hydrogen. You can't just convert the engine and start running it on hydrogen. It would take around $50k just to convert your car to run on hydrogen. You would have to rip out the entire fuel system, gut the trunk, cut holes in the body and run high pressure tubing throughout. To put enough hydrogen tanks into a car to make it get close to 200 miles of range with a very inefficient ICE you will take up the entire trunk area, all of the under seat areas with very expensive high pressure tanks. The people who have done it said the cost alone for all the equipment is close to $50k and if you got someone else to do it you are looking at close to $100k. All so you can buy fuel that isn't available, costs 4 times as much and now your car gets half the range it once did. Sounds like a great idea.
Not sure about the hole need to go green to save the planet thing but having a small off grid system I will say the storage of solar energy is my biggest issue. Current batteries have come along way but it’s still to expensive and difficult to manage the energy production. A small economical hydrogen battery would go along way in helping me get the most benefit out of my system
We make energy storage from used batteries from electric vehicles with an efficiency of over 90%. The cost of building such a warehouse is over 70% cheaper than buying a new one.
I hope they solved the expanding water issue as it freezes. I would hate to see it fill it's storage tank then burst when it freezes.
Exactly .! Better find a way to add alcohol to the mix . And reclaime it !
The spinach plasma solar panel israel already solved it its call plasma spinach plasma the closest thing to chlorophyll yet . Geeeeees photosynthesis is really that hard just copy the trees ..!
Im always a little fesrful of millions of people extracting humidity from air. It seems like that is going to make some difference to local climate. I know my country does use artificial rain from time to time, but only sparingly because it does affect the weather (lower rainfall) nearby and delay rain nearby. zapping humidity out everywhere but by bit could have similar effect.
Given that it return to water when converted back, it also need with humidity comes that time.
"Im always a little fesrful of millions of people extracting humidity from air."
Obviously only the people at the edge of town are going to get anything at all.
There are literally millions of cubic kilometres of liquid water in the sky plus vapour. The visible stuff is called clouds. The invisible stuff is called vapour. The surface of the earth is 2/3 covered in water
All Praise Be To God.
In winter& rainy day they would not produce nothing like ordinary ones too but it will costs alot and longevity are not so good but that everyone avoid to tell
It's was first done in the 80's - 100sqft flex film ( ala; mylar ) pannel focused on a coffee can of *two metals oxides with a catalytic gas...
It was able to heat / cool and cook as well as genarate electricity.
Or it could be used as a desaltalation by freezing 1,000 gallons of salt water....
* I/2lb of titanium and magnesium oxide
Information please? Thanks.
What's the catch? If we are all using this and taking condensation out of the atmosphere, does that not mean that we are reducing our H2O count? (amount of water on the planet)
Well if you combust the Hydrogen with Oxygen then you create Water so it goes back where it came from.
Food for thought: When 1 liter of Gasoline is combusted it creates about 1 liter of Water aside from the CO2 and NOx, did the air humidity go up with the extensive use of fossil fuels over past century?
Should be able to run a gas hot water heater on it.
This is great news smaller is better !
ENERGY INDEPENDENT EVERY HOUSE SHOULD BE THE AIM. SAFETY IS ALSO A MAJOR CONCERN.
Why are people still trying to store hydrogen at high pressure, dangerously explosive gas or liquid? In the 1970s a safe hydrogen storage system was developed in California. It was the the size of a car gasoline tank and consisted of 3 tanks of storage medium. The hydrogen binds with the lattice of the storage medium. It doesn't leak out, it doesn't explode, it doesn't require high pressure, it doesn't require cryogenic temperature. It can store enough energy to power a car.
any video reference?
@Ricky Supriyadi not really. You see, I read about this stuff back in the 1970s. I do recall that one of the materials is graphitic carbon nitride. It stores the hydrogen in the lattice structure of the material.
I would only consider this product if I had a small diggable.
yes it will help
