Former NASA/JPL employee "Mr. Squirt Gun" invents 0 emission free energy system!

Inventer [Lonnie Johnson] breaks through again.



Johnson Thermo-electrochemical Converter system — JTEC for short

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Most electricity is generated using heat to power a mechanical device, such as a piston or a turbine. The JTEC uses heat to force ions through a special membrane. "It's a totally new way of generating electricity from heat," Paul Werbos told Popular Mechanics. The JTEC includes two closed hydrogen cells or "stacks" attached to pairs of electrodes. One is a low-temperature stack, the other is high-temperature. Current compresses hydrogen in the low-temperature stack, ionizing the hydrogen and forcing its protons through the membrane to the high-temperature stack, where the hydrogen expands. Current is generated as electrons are freed. The high-temperature end generates more power than the low-temperature end uses — creating an excess that can cool beer or run TVs and washing machines. Hydrogen is neither burned nor added, and emissions are zero

'Johnson’s device can potentially work with even modest temperature differentials — say, between body heat and ambient air — to power implanted medical devices such as pacemakers. If successful, at high heat it would generate Con Edison-scale output. It also would run backward for refrigeration purposes: put in electricity to generate heat loss for, say, wearable air conditioning.

Paired with a parabolic solar array to generate heat, it would create virtually limitless emission-free power.' (so not completely "free"..awww.)


This sounds pretty cool, plus I had alot of fun w/ supersoakers back in the day.

So props to Lonnie Johnson for squirt guns and (potential) free energy!

Thanks again raulduke! Great info!!!!
