Suppressed Free Energy Technology for Home Use

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.
