Save the planet with the H2: pee in the jar

Hello,

To store even more hydrogen, researchers have thought of electrolysis of urine much less energy-consuming than that of water!

At the beginning, I said to myself: yeah, we're going to put pampers in the cows to recover the p ... :D . Not very practical, but:

in fact, it can be recovered in stables and pigsties
at highway stations. (provided you put the famous urinals without water)

I no longer have my electrolyser with which I did some tests two years ago, but I will do some tests: if it is true that we can electrolyze urine at 0,37 V instead of 1,23 , 3,5 V, multiple cells could be 4 to XNUMX times more efficient.

for storage, it's still "non-technology", right? : Cheesy:

If not; friends, is it going well econholidays?

With such efficiency, would the utopian water car become the piss car? We get closer to the sperm car
For those who don't know

Would we have the same olfactory drawback?

On the other hand, now, it will be out of the question that I still give 30cents to Madame pee. It’s still not going to sweeten twice.

That said, if urine is so promising, why not, energy is almost in everything. And especially in what we throw away.

Good news for those who wanted improved electrolysis.

I have already heard of very low electrolysis voltage with ammonia

it is not a miracle: ammonia gas is a fuel: it is not surprising that its energy facilitates the formation of hydrogen

distilling the piss to isolate the ammonia would be expensive in energy: if we can directly electrolyze it why not

in English urea means urea: it is a pure chemical compound and not urine

be careful urine is mostly water with a little urea and other piggy in it

urine will never be a fuel to put in the car: it's 95% water

electrolyzing urine will be rather a gadget to put next to the toilet to make a little bit of hydrogen

Ben thin then, we just lost a good excuse to play with our pee.

Go back to "Fossil energies: oil, gas, coal and nuclear electricity (fission and fusion)"
