More about this later…
But, first, what is Catalytic Carbon?
CC -- Simple, easy, cheap
Hydrogen at 1 LPM
to 20 LPM
Simple, easy, cheap
From any chemistry book:
Aluminum and water
Al + H2O = Al(OH)3 + H2
Aluminum hydroxide and hydrogen
From any chemistry book: Automatic separation of hydrogen
and liquid
Al + H2O = Al(OH)3 + H2
Stays in liquid
Hydrogen bubbles
So…. What’s new?
Catalytic CarbonMakes “high LPM” possible
No electricityNo electrolyte No corrosion
Aluminum + Water + CC = Hydrogen
Al + H2O = Al(OH)3 + H2
Problem: Low reaction rate.Not much hydrogen output.
Al + H2O + CC = CC + Al(OH) 3 + H2
Solution: High reaction rate – lots of hydrogen.No electrical input, no electrolyte, no corrosion.
Car test, with hydrogen produced using CC
32% increase in gas mileage; first test run.

Applications NOW
High LPM makes possible new things:
1. Fuel for electrical generators
2. Fuel for heating
3. HOD fuel for cars & trucks
Hydrogen Concept Cars all use hydrogen tanks
Jay Leno in the BMW Hydrogen-7 car. Runs on gasoline and/or hydrogen
The combined cruising range for the BMW Hydrogen 7 is around 425 miles with the gasoline tank (16.3 gal) contributing 300 miles
and the hydrogen tank (17.6 lb) contributing 125 miles. Ref: http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com/bmw-hydrogen7.htm
HOD advantages:
1. No tank (Lower cost; better safety)
2. much more driving range.
HOD cars can be on the road now. No fueling stations
needed.
In Munich, the first public hydrogen fueling station is being built and will open in 2007, coinciding with the release of the BMW Hydrogen 7. Lessees of the BMW Hydrogen 7 will also be able to fuel up in Berlin, which has two liquid
hydrogen fueling stations built as part of the Clean Air Partnership program. In the U. S., liquid hydrogen fueling stations are currently stationed in Washington D. C. and Oxnard, California plus there are several more additional mobile units that can also provide liquid hydrogen as needed.

Catalytic Carbon will be cheaper, pound-for-pound than bottled water.
When Catalytic Carbon is in production, what will be the COST?
Anyone can have CC

Can this method be scaled up?
No energy input needed after the liquid is warmed up to about 180FRevised 4/10/2012. Temp, pressure and other parameters are given in a larger table, online, at www.PhillipsCompany.4T.com/SU.pdf

Evaluation of CC: 12 countries and 18 states in the USA
