At Choices we are no big fans of forwards but one of our well wishers forwarded something that made us all sit up. On March 27, 09 a piece of news appeared online that has the potential to change the way our world looks and functions today.
MIT is going to announce its patent on an electrolyzer that can enable each house to create electricity for itself by itself!
They have developed a manufacturable electrolyzer made from cobalt and potassium phosphate. This technology, powered by a 6 meter by 5 meter photovoltaic array on the roof, is capable of powering an entire house’s power needs plus a fuel cell good for 500 km of travel, with just 5 liters of water. Its cheap, its efficient, its manufacturable, and it works on Room Temperature!!
This revolutionary technique could translate into an end to big energy corporates, hydro electricity to create which people are displaced, natural order is disturbed, several species are destroyed and because of which atmosphere suffers.
