In an effort that should help those working towards ‘solar H2-farms’ in which microorganisms produce bio hydrogen fuel from sunlight and water, scientists from Oxford University and universities in Germany have discovered how oxygen stops green algae from producing hydrogen. The international European team have reported the results two papers, one in the journal JACS […]

Gevo, Inc. has announced the start up of the first bio butanol demonstration plant.  The new facility is designed from retrofitting an existing demonstration scale ethanol plant to produce the bio butanol. In successfully producing bio butanol at the one million gallon per year rate at a pilot plant in St. Joseph, Missouri, Gevo is […]

It’s quite a relief to see some activity on the Robert Bussard Fusion effort led now by Richard Nebel.  Friday saw the news that the federal contract “Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition” document make it out to confirm essentially what everyone had expected. The divergence from the established norm is the newly […]

Brigham Young University researchers have developed a fuel cell, the type as a battery with a fuel tank – that harvests electricity from the carbohydrates of glucose and other sugars. Glucose one might note is one of the human body’s preferred fuels. BYU chemistry professor Gerald Watt says, “Carbohydrates are very energy rich. What we […]

The New Cold Fusion

This is no table top idea still confused about chemical or physics properties – the muon catalyst fusion method is well understood and has been until a decade or so ago, widely researched.   The idea came before 1950 from Andrei Sakharov and F.C. Frank, who predicted the phenomenon of muon-catalyzed fusion on theoretical grounds.  Luis […]
