Editorial comment: If you will notice the applications of this

technology
are for rockets, space travel and military. NO WHERE does it mention

that
this technology is applicable to home use and would give everyone a

free
source of energy.

Hydrogen Peroxide Could Be Key To Future Power Sources
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Scientists and engineers from around the world

will
meet in November at Purdue University to discuss hydrogen peroxide's

role
in
developing a new class of environmentally friendly rocket propellants

and
highly efficient fuel cells for generating electricity.


"These are nontoxic, renewable energy sources," said Stephen Heister,

Purdue
professor of aeronautics and astronautics who helped organize the

Second
International Hydrogen Peroxide Propulsion Conference, sponsored by the
School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nov. 7-10.

"Anybody interested in peroxide for power applications will be here,"

said
another conference organizer, John Rusek, an assistant professor of
aeronautics and astronautics who specializes in propulsion and power
research.

Rusek is trying to develop a high-efficiency fuel cell that generates
electricity from hydrogen peroxide and aluminum. Such a device could

one
day
replace conventional batteries and would have many applications,

including
use by military field personnel who lug around heavy portable

electronic
equipment. He will discuss that work during the conference, which is
expected to draw an international attendance of about 150 researchers,

with
29 of them delivering scientific papers. Presentations will be made by
officials from the U.S. Navy and Air Force, Joint Services, and the

National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, as well as researchers from

private
industry.

Hydrogen peroxide differs from water only in that it contains two

oxygen
atoms. It might be used to replace conventional oxidizers, such as

liquid
oxygen, nitrogen tetroxide and ammonium perchlorate, which are needed

to
burn rocket fuels.

"Nitrogen tetroxide is one of the oxidizers that we are essentially

trying
to replace," Heister said. "That's a poisonous gas. If we had some in

the
room right now, we'd be dying or dead."

Unlike the drugstore version of hydrogen peroxide, which is about 97

percent
water, the rocket-propulsion variety has just the opposite

concentration --
3 percent water and 97 percent hydrogen peroxide -- and it has had

critical
contaminants removed, Heister said.

This purified, concentrated form of H2O2 is broken down with chemical
catalysts, yielding oxygen that combusts with alcohol-based fuels, such

as
methanol or ethanol, which can be derived from corn. Such a propulsion
system would provide an inexpensive alternative to today's nonrenewable
hydrocarbon fuels that are processed from crude oil, Heister said.

Breaking down peroxide not only would provide oxygen for combustion but

also
would produce steam, an important byproduct that could be used to run a
turbine to generate electricity, Heister said.

Hydrogen peroxide has a history in aviation; for example, it was used

in
the
German V-2 rocket and the experimental X-15 rocket plane.

"It kind of went by the wayside because, at the time, we were seeking

the
very highest-energy propellants," Heister said. However, new

technologies
are promising to revive its potential.

Beal Aerospace Technologies Inc. in Texas is planning to develop a

complete,
three-stage launch vehicle that uses hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer.

Its
first-stage engine would be the largest rocket engine ever built,

producing
more than three million pounds of thrust. Meanwhile, NASA and the Air

Force
are working to develop lower-cost rocket engines using hydrogen

peroxide
as
an oxidizer.

They are making it sound innocuous. I can recall reading that the

Germans
used hydrogen peroxide in experimental rocket fighters during the closing
stage of WW2, and discovered that any accident in which H2O2 was released
had the unfortunate tendency to dissolve the pilot.

It needs proper handling, boys and girls. Not "water with merely another
oxygen".


Building rockets is a futile attempt at space travel. All they're going

to
do is blow people up.

It's only safe and practical application is in a fuel cell to generate
electricity for home use. But leave it to the defense contractors to try

to
capitalize on science for profit.


I'm wondering what wonderful method you would propose for getting into space
without rockets?

My point is that it has potential serious dangers for fuel cell use also--at
least as dangerous as gasoline/petrol, which should not be stored in a home.
