russoniellov Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 http://news.yahoo.co...-234718329.htmlwhat do you all think? Think it is eye popping stuff, they even make it run on "urine" must be quite a slap on the oil industry, quite shocking actually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyhauler Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 What source of energy do they use to separate the hydrogen from the urine in that electrolytic cell?? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 What source of energy do they use to separate the hydrogen from the urine in that electrolytic cell?? Just wondering.We learned in school to use an electrical source using a Anode and Cathode to charge the liquid and separate the Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules..they have apparently created a unit equal to selling Magic Beans to Obama...smoke and mirrors that does nothing.

Pawel Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Well, pretty girls (some of them at least), and also kinda smart. Instead of watching TV or texting they built something, I like it. The sheiks/oil moguls won't like them though, probably!Well now please note they don't take water, but urine - I'd say if you put two dissimilar metal electrodes in that you get some electric current, you can use to sepaate hydrogen - that's the way I understand it. But of course I'd like to know it in more detail, too. Anyhow, have a nice dayPawel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russoniellov Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm thinkin they use urine as a metaphor for rebellion against the oppression of expensive energy, Urine after all is a waste by product, water would work just as well.......

heavyhauler Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 My guess would be that you would need at least 1V applied to that urine solution and, depending on catalysts used, I might expect ammonia gas rather than hydrogen coming off that electrolytic cell. Electrolysis is no longer used in industrial applications because hydrogen is cheaper to get from fossil fuels. Pure water, by the way, is tougher to crack.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
