ENERGY INDEPENDENCE FOR AMERICA
A twelve million acre solar panel array is proposed stretching 1,951
miles from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. It is some of the
sunniest lands in the US. It consists of a 10 mile wide swath. Using
16.4 billion panels and generating 8.8 trillion watts when the sun
shines, the system produces 1,000,000 metric tons of hydrogen per day
with a heat value equivalent to 23.2 million barrels of oil.
Hydrogen is generated from water drawn from the Gulf of Mexico, the
RioGrande River, the Gulf of California, and the Pacific Ocean, along
with numerous rivers and streams, and water wells drilled in the
region.
Atmospheric nitrogen is used along with the solar hydrogen to create
5.7 million tons of ammonia and encapsulated hydrazine mix each day.
That ammonia goes to all of America's stationary power plants by
pipeline.
There a portion of the ammonia is decomposed into nitrogen and
hydrogen again, through an autocatalytic reaction sustained by the
decomposition of hydrazine in the line using a special mechanism that
ruptures the encapsulant with standing sound waves..
PORTABLE AND MOBILE POWER FROM THE SUN
A portion of the liquid ammonia and encapsulated hydrazine mix is used
to charge a patented polymeric boron film forming a polymeric borazane
film after reacting with the hydrogen. The hydrazine encapsulated in
the film is imbeded in the porous matrix. This film is rolled into
cannisters and used to power electric vehicles and in other portable
electric applications throughout America.
The film is unrolled through pinch rollers requiring little power,
release the hydrazine which heats the film to 170C. Hydrogen is
released from the film at that temperature as it passes between
electrodes that capture an electric current and form water from
hydrogen and atmospheric oxygen before the film is rolled to a takeup
reel. Water vapor is emitted from the electrodes which operate at
170C.
A 15 kg cannister 20 cm in diameter and 100 cm long produces 102 kWh
of electrical energy on demand in amounts ranging from 100 W to
100,000 W depending on roller speed and have an unlimited shelf life
after the date of manufacture. .
When the film is processed for its hydrogen the spent film is then
rewound into the cannister and then replaced with fresh film. The
spent film is sent to a processing center near the ammonia burning
power plant and it is unwound and cleaned. The spent film is then
heated to over 320C - where the nitrogen is evolved from boron laden
film. The spent film is then cooled and run thorugh a bath of ammonia
and hydrazine where it is chemically recharged for reuse. The
recharged film is then rolled again into a cannister and resold. The
process may be repeated over 10,000 times before the film is no longer
active.
Films range in size from 100 kW down to milliwatts - miniature film
transports that provide power to cell phones, and other portable
electronics reliably for years, and then are cheaply replaced. Smaller
devices may have disposable films which waste boron, but are still
less expensive than any existing form of battery, and have greater
power density and shelf life than any battery.
PERSONAL ENERGY FREEDOM
Eventually MEMs based microchannel chemical technology permits the
development of dispersed solar power systems based on the present
technology just described allowing it to be safely dispersed in a home
energy appliance.
Solar panels in individual homes operate small furnace sized chemical
plants that produce ammonia and hydrazine compounds from air and water
using sunlight. Operating in sealed containers for safety and
reliability.
The ammonia and hydrazine made here are used to recharge borazane
films using the technology just desribed. The furnace sized devices
house six cylinders and can recharge one every other day. 12
additional cylinders may be stored nearby, a total of 18 cylinders
provide a month's supply of energy for an independent home.
The cylinders power homes and vehicles, appliances and equipment.
A typical home would have 24 panels each 8' x 4' covering an area of
768 square feet of ground area - an area 32 feet by 24 feet.
Depending on location up to 81 kWh are produced each day from this
array in North America. This is enough to recharge a cannister just
described, every 2 days.
A single cannister drives an EV over 480 km, and powers a typical home
for more than 4 days.
The average American household in 2000AD drove 26,300 miles. That's
one cannister every 4 days as well - so a cannister produced every 2
days provides sufficient capacity to provide for all energy needs of a
typical American household with 2 automobiles.
Good Lord, what a terrible enviormental disaster a project like this
could create!
The public is already protesting the creation of hydro-electric dams.
Can you even imagine the protests that a project of this scale would
generate!
How about trying a pilot program, say 500 acres in the middle of
California?
See what the public reaction is.

When properly full burden accounted.
It flat out has NEVER happened with conventional silicon pv and is highly unlikely ever to.
The system as described above is a humongous gasoline destoying net energy sink. Building it would constitute a criminal act.
