Aluminum Gallium to Hydrogen

03/18/2012 11:59 AM

Dear all-Does someone know if the process that was discovered 2007 by the team of professor Jerry Goodall to use an alloy of aluminium galium to produce hydrogen as fuel, is being utilised somewhere, somehow?

It's Jerry Woodall.

I don't know of anybody presently using this technology. But, there's a lot, about a lot that I don't know.

Try this thread. The 103 proof feed stock is dirt cheep to produce. A single pass in a pot still should be able to do that. Have no idea who owns the patent though.

I don't know. However, Rossi of E-CAT fame has reported that he has eliminated the hydrogen tank by switching to a solid-state cartridge that releases hydrogen to interact with the Nickel. He has not revealed the chemicals that he uses. The E-CAT needs very little hydrogen and Nickel to generate 10 Kwatts of heat for six months.

The so-called "e-cat" is just another failed experiment.

Even one of Rossi's biggest cheerleaders, Sterling Allan, has withdrawn his support...

You can't be serious. The Telsa turbine is quite well understood, and it has few practical applications. A very popular DIY version is constructed from old hard-drive disks.

"needs very little hydrogen and Nickel to generate 10 Kwatts of heat for six months."

The only way you could generate that amount of energy from "very little" is through nuclear fusion. Anything else is a pipe dream.
