Salt water-powered electric car approved for roads in Europe

A company that claims to have developed the first electric car powered by salt water says the vehicle has now been approved for testing on public roads in Germany and the EU.

Nanoflowcell Quant e-Sportlimousine runs on saltwater

Nanoflowcell, which designed the Quant e-Sportlimousine, has received official approval to test its e-Sportlimousine on the roads from German industry certification organisation TÜV Süd.

In development for 14 years, the four-seated car measures roughly 5.25 metres in length and sports what its creators say is an entirely new kind of energy storage system, also called Nanoflowcell. The company claims that the automobile is capable of speeds of 350 kilometres per hour and acceleration of 0-100 kilometres per hour in just 2.8 seconds, and can travel distances of 600 kilometres with a full tank of a petrol made from a salt water solution.

An electrochemical reaction is created by combining two liquids with metallic salts acting as the electrolyte. These solutions are pumped through a fuel cell where an anode or cathode electrode is located, creating electricity that is then forwarded to super capacitors within the car.

Compared to conventional technologies, one litre of the salty liquid contains 400 times more energy than a typical lead-acid battery, and the prototype car carries two 200-litre tanks on board, the company states.

The Quant e-Sportlimousine concept made its initial debut at the Geneva Motorshow 2014, where it was met with some scepticism by critics. A separate Quant car had appeared at the same show in 2009 but never made it to market.

However, the news that the vehicle has been deemed safe for public roads has prompted renewed interest in the prototype.

According to Nanoflowcell’s Nunzio La Vecchia, the firm has partnered with German electronics company Bosch Engineering GmbH to further develop the technology, and it hopes to release four more prototypes throughout 2014.

"Transforming an initial prototype into a series-production vehicle that can be used around the world is a big challenge," La Vecchia said in an interview. "We are certain that we can manage it with this established and experienced partner."

La Vecchia said in a statement that the approval from TÜV Süd marks a "milestone" not just for the prototype, but potentially for mobility in general.

"For the first time an automobile featuring flow-cell electric drive will appear on Germany’s roads," he said. "We are extremely proud that as a small company we have developed such visionary technology and are now able to put it into practice. But this is only the beginning of our journey of discovery."

He added that investors and auto manufacturers showed "tremendous interest" in the e-Sportlimousine, and that the firm is now working at "top speed" on certifying the vehicle for series production.

The future of driving was the subject of the Dezeen and MINI Frontiers exhibition during the London Design Festival. The exhibition at designjunction, 21-23 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1BA, ran from 17 to 21 September and showcased six proposals for transport by emerging designers.

Car that runs on nothing but water unveiled in Japan

No gasoline, no battery recharging and no emissions

Japanese company Genepax presents its eco-friendly car that runs on nothing but water. The car has an energy generator that extracts hydrogen from water that is poured into the car’s tank. The generator then releases electrons that produce electric power to run the car.

The electric powered car can run on any type of water (you can even use tea and soda…etc). The car can run for an hour at about 50 miles per hour on just a liter of water; about 2 cans of soda worth. Genepax, the company that invented the technology, aims to collaborate with Japanese manufacturers to mass produce it.

Unlike other electric cars, the Genepax car does not require that batteries be recharged and has no emission. The water electrical generator is located in the back of the car and when water is poured it is then broken down in order to create electricity to power the car. Imagine what such a generator could do to the oil industry, the nuclear plants and the electrical grid.

That story broke in 2008. Today Japan is producing hydrogen fueled cars – the Honda FCX Clarity. Combine the technology of Genepax with the technology of the Honda FCX Clarity and you have a full production vehicle that uses no gasoline. No gasoline combustion means zero emissions.

In 2010, it is reported that there are a total of 50 FCX Clarity available for lease in the U.S with a target to have 200 available world-wide.

The Honda FCX Clarity fuel cell-electric vehicle has been chosen to be the pace car for the opening race of the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series, from 25-27 March 2011. This is the first-time a hydrogen-powered vehicle will pace an IZOD IndyCar Series race in the United States.

Propelled by an electric motor that runs on electricity generated in a fuel cell, the FCX Clarity’s only emission is water and its fuel efficiency is three times that of a similar-sized petrol-powered automobile. The FCX Clarity’s performance and acceleration are comparable to a 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder engine with an EPA certified range of 240 miles. The compact and powerful Honda V Flow Fuel Cell Stack allows for unprecedented spaciousness and a futuristically stylish, low-slung design and spacious interior.

Since the vehicle’s unveiling there were nearly 80,000 people around the world who expressed interest in owning a FCX Calrity - 80,000 people who won’t be buying any more gasoline once they take possession.

Fire From Water Part 2: Clean green plentiful free fuel

Fire From Water Part 2

Clean green plentiful free fuel

In a cramped workshop at the back of a suburban house in the Sydney suburb of Auburn, Yull Brown developed the first commercial product based on his application of the main energy resource of the Third Millennium – water. Its constituents have been used as rocket fuel since the dawn of the space age, but Yull’s electrolysis cell doesn’t separate the two gases at their origin, as is done conventionally. Fifteen years and a million dollars ($1980s) went into the development of his system, which culminated in a welding device based on his process.

When he released the welder to the world he predicted the dawn of an age where cars and planes run on water supplied from a garden hose and where power lines could be replaced by pipes carrying his gas, which would economically convert to electricity.

When he arrived in Australia from Bulgaria in 1957, the authorities didn’t accept Mr Brown’s qualifications as an electrical engineer. Over the following decades he became one of Australia’s better-known inventors (though still one of its least recognized scientists). His inventions were dismissed by some as elaborate trickery, yet Yull Brown covered his technology with more than 100 patents in 31 countries. In the 1980s he floated a million dollar company on the second board of the Hobart Stock Exchange.

The first commercial technology of its kind, the gas in his welding system has extraordinary features and doesn’t produce harmful light or vapours. The gas travels down a single hose, with no mixing – unlike conventional welders - to be ignited simply and safely at a single valve. At one moment the flame can be the temperature of a candle flame and you can wave your finger through it or pass it along your arm (on which it leaves a trail of water vapour) without harm or discomfort.

Then, without adjustment, it will melt and split granite or fuse metal and house bricks together, although industrial gas experts swear this is impossible. The many scientists who have witnessed this are at a loss to explain the principle behind a flame, which automatically alters its temperature, discriminating between different compounds as it strikes and interacts with them. Yull theorised that the temperature of the flame is determined at the surface of the material through an ‘interactive process’ between the hydrogen molecules and atomic bonds in the object.

The Brown’s Gas generator and welder have up to thirty different applications. To operate it, water is pumped into the unit and the hydrogen and oxygen are separated and compressed to form a gas, which can be used, as an energy source; it’s detonated by a spark and forms a vacuum in its wake. Atmospheric pressure then sucks water or any other liquid through the container or hollow area. When set alight it can reach a temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius – as hot as the surface of the Sun.

“The flame created by the generator is the highest temperature on Earth and can turn tungsten to vapour or gas,” Mr Brown said in March 1989. After successfully running car engines on water using the device he researched the possibility of simply installing generators in existing vehicles. Low-voltage electricity and water are all that’s needed to run the unit, which is cheaper to buy (and operate) than conventional generators.

Geoff Moxham & Yull Brown

Professor Brynn Hibbert, then analytical chemistry professor at the University of New South Wales, had arrived from Britain where he had held senior posts researching fuel cell technology. When invited to a scientific demonstration of Yull Brown’s system, he said that he’d usually be “a bit twitchy” about working with hydrogen and oxygen, but took part in a demonstration of Brown’s Gas in October 1989 anyway. He said afterward that on face value Yull Brown seemed to have found a way of efficiently producing a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen that was safe to use.

“What may enrage the scientific community are some of the claims that this gas has very special properties.

“One of the more extravagant of these is that the gas produced in this process will destroy unwanted plutonium and also produces heavy water.

“There is a whole range of criticisms directed at this based on what is the known chemistry of these types of gases, through to our knowledge of thermonuclear reactions.”

Mr Brown’s most contentious suggestion was that additional rare hydrogen and oxygen atoms are generated in his process. Professor Hibbert said that from what was known of these atomic species they’d be too short-lived to travel out of the electrolytic cell and down the gas hose, but he admitted he had no explanation as to how or why the gas performed in all the ways he’d seen demonstrated.

At Yull brown’s invitation, Professor Hibbert left the Auburn workshop carrying one of the electrolytic cells - the secret to Mr Brown’s technology – under his arm.

The use of Brown’s Gas for transportation and energy generation is the best way so far demonstrated to overcome global warming economically, effectively and quickly. The sole exhaust by-product from his system is a tiny amount of water vapour. If put into immediate application, much of the threat to Planet Earth’s biosphere will be immediately removed.

His welder/generator is still available for sale today, years after Yull’s death…

Fire From Water Part 5

Fire From Water

Part 5

Everything we need to create a paradise on Earth has already been developed. Technologies, techniques and concepts that can free humanity from the feudal cycle in which it is still mired have been systematically suppressed, ridiculed and ignored by corporations and the public. Vested, tied and suited interests have actively destroyed and hidden advanced ideas (and researchers) deemed to be a threat to their control of society and its economy for more than a century. This is business as usual, not some strange conspiracy.

The use of hydrogen as a fuel has often been considered our best chance for stopping industry’s fossil fuel fix and a solution to the greenhouse effect and climatic disaster. Hydrogen is literally the most plentiful element in the universe and burns more cleanly than fossil fuels, producing more energy per kilogram and resulting in better engine wear. It creates atmospheric pollution when burned with air, but at an order of magnitude lower than the toxins we currently explode to run our primitive vehicles – whose basic designs, like much of our ‘current day’ technology, date from the 19^th century.

The extraordinary gas derived from water by the late Yull Brown, however, produces only charged water vapour as waste when imploded without the addition of air.

Tests by Electronics Australia magazine found that a standard internal combustion engine needs little modification to accept Brown’s oxygen/hydrogen mix. The carburetor is simply replaced with a throttle valve and pressure reducer while the engine is re-timed to handle the gas’ higher flame front speed. Electronics Australia researchers found that engines using Brown’s gas have an output about 8% higher than with a ‘normal’ petrol/air mix.

“There is also a worthwhile improvement in engine life as the only product of combustion is water vapour,” they reported twenty years ago. “There is no carbon build-up on plugs or valves and no corrosion of the exhaust manifold or muffler due to acid vapours.

“The engine runs cooler and there is no pollution.”

In 1985 Roger Billings of Roger Billings Energy Corporation in Missouri USA developed another system to run on hydrogen derived from water.

“The petrol engine operates at almost the same efficiency on methane and methanol. But when you convert the engine to run on hydrogen you get a 40% increase in efficiency,” Billings reported. He claimed his Dodge achieved 44 miles per gallon on hydrogen compared to 30 m.p.g. for petrol, and topped 80 m.p.h.


Here is a working model, mannfactured in Canada

Automotive and aeronautical designs have evolved to the point where hydrogen vehicles are efficient and competitive. But how can we exchange all our fossil fuel-driven vehicles for hydrogen (or electrical or co-generation) powered alternatives quickly enough to slow – let alone reverse – the greenhouse effect? Massive retooling and restructuring preclude the possibility of truly new vehicles replacing their present counterparts for many years to come.

LPG or methane gas conversion, in which existing vehicles are slightly modified, provides a transition away from petrol – but to where? Natural gas supplies are limited and pollute the atmosphere.

The gas produced by Yull Brown’s process is a mix of the elements found in water – hydrogen and oxygen. A mixture of tese two gases, normally being highly explosive, is usually considered too dangerous to use. But combined in exactly the same proportion as they are found in water, the gases can be used and stored together with safety. Hydogen and oxygen can be separated from water in a proportion which ensures total combustion of the Brown’s gas and requires no regulators for the blending process. What’s more, used in an implosive system their by-product is pure water vapour – engines powered by Brown’s gas can do the job of the trees our civilization has supplanted by pumping clean water vapour into the atmosphere on a massive scale.

“It is more than 50% likely the world will be using hydrogen as fuel – cars and planes are possible applications,” said Professor John Bockris, a hydrogen fuels specialist with the University of Texas.

“If we do use hydrogen, Mr Brown will emerge as a leader in his field.”

By using the mix of hydrogen and oxygen now available with Brown’s system existing vehicles can be converted to run on water. Yull Brown converted cars including a Holden and Mazda to run on tap water and bench-tested many internal combustion engines with Brown’s gas as fuel. The gas can be produced in the home or factory; it can easily be compressed and even sold at gas stations, or the consumer can produce the gas themselves by supplying only water and electricity. If you have sunlight, tides, waves, wind, running water or a mains power connexion you can produce enough power to generate the gas in your own garage.

This technology has been sitting around for decades. Yull Brown attributed his inspiration for water fuel research to his namesake Jules Verne’s 19^th century novel, Mysterious Island. In his later years Yull learned that a patent is only of any use if you are prepared to defend it in many courts at enormous cost in time, energy and money. He also developed plans for an emission-free waste disposal unit. This writer has seen his functioning engines, welders and Brown’s gas implosive pumps working on principles using atmospheric pressure that have no moving parts, capable of draining or filling a swimming pool in less than a minute. He also developed highly efficient desalination systems before his death.

Alvin R. Crosby of Auckland, New Zealand developed what he claimed to be a similar system derived from Brown’s ideas which he sold internationally. He has pointed to patents taken out by the Hanes Corporation of Phoenix, Nevada (USA) in 1966 and 1967 (Patents 3,262,872 [1966] and 3,310,483 [1967]) that produce a hydrogen/oxygen gas mix as well. He used the gas from the 1970s to run a lawnmower. In 1982 he bought the New Zealand Brown’s gas manufacturing license from Yull Brown (for three years) in an attempt to “quickly bring his H₂ plus O₂ gas system to the New Zealand public.” These gases, it may be noted, are not stored in the stochiometric proportion found in water claimed for Brown’s gas.

“H₂ plus O₂ gas is produced from more than 50 different machines made around the world, for jewellery soldering,” according to Mr Crosby.

“I developed new designs totally departing from anything Brown had put together. My designs incorporated machines producing two to four times the output or Mr Brown’s machines. I designed 100, 200, 600, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 litre per hour machines and I spent $NZ1.6 million [in 1980s dollars] doing it.”

Crosby cites a figure of 126% efficiency in producing his gas, using some of the latent heat in water molecules to provide the additional 26% in energy return. “You can run a car on water and it runs very well,” he said in 1983.

“If we went into the automotive area it would make too many waves. And I’m not prepared to take that risk. The whole subject is very political.” According to Mr Crosby Brown’s gas can be compressed up to 2,000 pounds p.s.i. – making it easy to carry enough fuel aboard a vehicle. Yull Brown stated that conventional LPG bottles can be used for storage.

“There is tremendous potential for water powered vehicles and they are the quickest way to halt the greenhouse effect,” Mr Crosby told me in 1989.

“All the engines are out there now – we don’t need to build new technologies. Automotive engines are ideally suited to direct conversion. The optimum, of course, would be to produce the gas directly as you drive… But there are a number of ways in which it can be used. The gas can even be bubbled through and added to petrol, for instance, greatly increasing fuel efficiency.

“But the technology for this conversion is fast disappearing as new models of vehicles are doing away with carburetors in favour of fuel injection. This may have been foreseen by techologists.”

After two ‘offers’ to shut up shop, Crosby sold his interests in his systems in 1986 to Hydrox International Corporation (formed from the assets of Crosby Energy Systems) and subsequently sold all rights and patents to Peers and Company Merchant Bank of Wall Street.

Now, in the Third Millennium, we have all come to realise the need for these technologies if we are to save the planet and ourselves and children. Are we allowed to use them yet?

We don’t have to wait for the bankers and oilmen to decide for us. We can do it ourselves – NOW!
