Default Zero Point Energy from a Glass of Water

Interesting topic. And, unfortunately, something the public may never experience.

Water contains a tremendous amount of energy. And to my knowledge, it's available in two forms.

One form is to split the water to make the hydrogen and oxygen seperate. Simply add heat and away you go.

Another way is to fuse the water - nuclear fusion. I believe a few bods in England are very close to having a power generator/station, which uses this technique, up and running. But even according to them, it'd be about thirty years before the public could benefit from the power produced.

The problem with fusion being the vast amount of heat needed to get the self-sustaining reaction to take place.

The best chance we have from using the energy in water is by splitting it and using the energy in the hydrogen.

The problem with this has been, that up until now, it required enormouos amounts of energy to get the hydrogen out of water. Way more energy then you'd get from the hydrogen.

However, there's a guy in the US who can fill-up his table-top device with tap water, plug it into an existing power point and turn it on. Right before your eyes you see the water "smoke" as the hydrogen comes off of it.

He's also working on a car engine which uses his hydrogen-extraction method. And NASA has contracted him to help them with something they are working on.

The interesting thing about his device is, the energy obtained from the hydrogen appears to be far greater than the energy used to extract the hydrogen. He seem to be getting more energy out than he's putting in.

Anyway. Assume he gets his engine perfected and that he then makes small scale generators so people can create their own electricity at home.

We will never see it, ever.

Think about it. One cup of water and you never need to fill up your car again. Can you imagine the infra-structure that would suddenly become useless?

Not only would we not need gas stations any more, we wouldn't need fuel tankers, fuel refineries, oil rigs, ships that cart oil, and so on and so forth.

That's a lot of people out of work and a lot of money gone. Especially for the government. No fuel means no fuel-tax and that's a lot of money the government would not get.

How about if we generate our own electricity using this device?

No more utility companies. No more cables needed. No more power stations needed. No more coal trucks and coal truck building companies. No more coal mines and companies that make coal mining equipment. And so on and so forth.

Again, an extremely large number of people out of work and money lost.

There's too much money at stake to grant us access to these types of energy.

Michael Ross.
