If I understand this process from a glance, it reduces aluminum in kind of a redox action. Aluminum production is energy intensive, and it can be recycled. This turns it back into alumina? Seems to violate the conservation of energy rule. I guess it makes economic sense on one level, but there seem to be more sustainable approaches to hydrogen production using solar energy either directly or in combination with PVCanadian Engineers Make "Revolutionary" Hydrogen Breakthrough

interesting, nice to see companies working with hydrogen, hope they keep it upCanadian Engineers Make "Revolutionary" Hydrogen Breakthrough

I just had a quick read, but production of aluminum is energy intensive and the energy into the system must be more than what comes out as either power or hydrogen.to the bolded: why?
incidentally, making aluminum metal is not carbon-neutral. Even if the large amount of electricity is green, the process usually consumes large graphite electrodes.
The net reaction of aluminum with water is quite exothermic. There’s a lot of stored energy in the metal. Makes it useful in solid rocket fuel and explosive compositions.I just had a quick read, but production of aluminum is energy intensive and the energy into the system must be more than what comes out as either power or hydrogen.
I consider it more of a fuel cell or battery and how much more efficient is it, energy wise than PV or solar hydrogen reactors and there have been breakthroughs recently in both. It is not a primary source of power and all mined materials in nature are already reduced with oxygen, except for organic coal and oil. I'm sure it has it's uses though and might sell.to the bolded: why?

There has been work on Aluminum air batteries too, but a lot of energy was put in at the smelter and arc furnace to get it to that high energy state.The net reaction of aluminum with water is quite exothermic.

that’s what I’ve been saying!There has been work on Aluminum air batteries too, but a lot of energy was put in at the smelter and arc furnace to get it to that high energy state.
I'm very glad that you enjoyed Ireland, even though the North is still Btit technically, that's why it was more expensive that the real Ireland in the South, or Eire as it is called in Gaelic.I'd try Dog if given the chance but I'm not sure i could try cat.
You North or Ireland? I was lucky enough to go to Ireland and Northern Ireland in the early 90s. Expensive place (i was backpacking) but i loved it. The people were so friendly. Had no trouble getting lifts hitch hiking.
Just came across a camel recipe.

Tough guy. His hatred of gay and trans kids is not the real reason he is at war with Disney. It's because they are such terrible height supremist. You know, having to be so tall in order to ride a ride. He was 13 before he could ride Space Mountain, and he never really got over it. He's been biding his time all these years.Same ole same ole with this guy. Every hurricane, it’s the same rhetoric.
“You loot, We shoot.”

Yeah, I can attest to that one. My husband been working right on the gulf coast outdoors the past month and started getting extremely bad heartburn and bloating and nausea. One day he came home and his belly had expanded to like a 6 month pregnancy and I was terrified!! He went back down 10’lbs in a weeks after the weather changed.
It drains ya and is exhausting, the older you are the worse it is. Make sure the electrolyte levels are up and lots of salt and fluids, coming home to AC helps recovery quite a bit.Yeah, I can attest to that one.
