Urea, urines major ingredient has 4 hydrogen atoms per molecule, but more importantly the hydrogen atoms in urea have a much weaker bond than the hydrogen atoms in H2O which needs 1.23v to break the atoms apart.Sharp wrote:Hi John.
Can you please explain what's interesting about this report?
I’m not sure how efficient their electrolytic cell is, but I know it gets down to 0.37v using efficient electrodes to break the urea molecule apart and urine is much better to use than water. But like I said it’s hard for me to believe they can get 24 hours of generator time out of only a gallon of urine, but I have no experience with the process to have any scale of reference.
But if it’s that efficient then they don’t need solar panels because they have the generator and can use a battery to start the process.....
The biggest problem they will have if their claim is real, is urea gets converted into ammonia by bacteria and when it’s warm that will happen fast. But this is good thinking because we need to conserve the phosphorus in urine for fertilizer anyway because like oil the deposits of phosphorus will run out too. We are very wasteful critters right now with greed not intelligence driving, and our toys will run out too if we don’t wake up….which brings up good question:
How come the media doesn't cover other more powerful alternative forms of generating electricity to generate funding?
Or how about less powerful ones like the batteries we throw away constantly polluting landfills or worse with cancer rates going up. Like John Hutchison’s crystal batteries…..or should I say Tesla's. Notably, the crystal battery that shows how the game is being played. There are too many links showing hobbyists making them to pick a few out.
The Economist said regarding free energy and the Casimir effect:
“Can something come of nothing? Philosophers debated that question for millennia before physics came up with the answer—and that answer is NO!”
These are the same physicists that say the Universe came from nothing BTW….

If only they had the awareness to turn that logic around……and realize you can’t have nothing without something to create nothing and add the Observer. We are surrounded by vast quantities of energy and {a} is the tap. It’s up the layman now….even dreams and illusions are connected to a true inertial frame of reference.
