Question for William Mook



So I have been pretty effusive in my praise for William Mook and his
grand plans for solar hydrogen and coal-based synfuel production.
Perhaps I should be a little more skeptical in my thinking. The
crusty old scientists and engineers who populate this board do not
think that the sort of electrolysis efficiency that is central to
Mook's scheme is remotely possible. After all, William is claiming he
can convert 55% of incident solar energy into useful chemical energy.
Pretty amazing if true. Being only a mechanical engineer, the various
skeptics on this board are far more educated in the relevant sciences
than I. Mook talks a good game, but perhaps I should believe the
skeptics. The burden of proof here falls on William Mook.

So here is the crux of what William Mook has claimed:

"A 4 ft x 8 ft panel has 4,608 lenses and generates 1,387 watts of
chemical energy under full illumination.- which translates to 35.2 kg
of hydrogen and 281.7 kg of oxygen per hour.of illumination per
panel."

William is assuming 850 watts per square meter of direct sunlight.

So what would it take to sway the skeptics? Perhaps a public
demonstration? Perhaps input and output measurements verified by a
third party lab?

So my question to William Mook is can he unveil one of his prototype
PV panels for a public demonstration? If he is scared of compromising
his intellectual property from public viewing of his invention, he
could at least have a reputable lab verify the efficiency.

If these things can't happen, my question is why? You come on this
board and go into fair detail explaining your inventions and their
potential application. Why wouldn't you want people to believe your
claims? If the thing works, what is the harm in showing it? You
would attract public interest and probably eager investors, which
could never be a bad thing for such a massive undertaking. Otherwise,
the skeptics are going to say it can't be demonstrated because such a
device does not exist. I would have to tend to believe them.
