Carbon-free Hydrogen

One of the impediments to the so-called ‘hydrogen economy’ where we get limitless clean energy from plentiful hydrogen is that you have to spend energy to get the hydrogen, creating carbon emissions in the process.

Enter the solar reactor mentioned in Slashdot and Geek.Com:

The totally clean fuel production is made possible due to a new solar reactor created by Erik Koepf that only relies on concentrated sunlight, zinc oxide, and water to produce hydrogen.

The reactor is capable of using sunlight to increase the heat inside its cylindrical structure above 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Zinc oxide powder is then gravity fed through 15 hoppers into the ceramic interior where it converts to a zinc vapor. At that point the vapor is reacted with water separately, which in turn produces hydrogen.

As well as a lack of emissions, the other good news is that the zinc oxide can apparently be reused, meaning the solar reactor is theoretically self sustaining as it only relies on materials and energy that are renewable.

Testing is underway at the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich.

"Okay, so now we either create limitless free energy ... or create a rip in subspace that pulls us into an alternate universe."
