“We are painfully aware there is no Hydrogen Age without hydrogen.”
Doug Hawley Secretary / Treasurer American Hydrogen Association
“This country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy - a strategy that’s cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs.”
President Obama 2012 State-of-the-Union address
Method to make cheap HOD
Catalyst
Water
A better idea, to get more hydrogen
New CATALYST
Advantages: High reaction rate – lots of hydrogen.No electrical input, no electrolyte, no corrosion, no
emissions and no environmental problems.

In a chemical reaction, a catalyst lowers the activation energy, Ea
What is Catalytic Carbon?
Normal carbon, chemically treated to become a heterogeneous catalyst
Input Output
Not consumed
Other advantages?
Patent Pending

Advantages
One Aluminum atom three hydrogen atoms
Water to aluminum ratio = 3 FUEL
More advantages …
Catalytic Carbon will be cheaper, pound-for-pound than bottled water.
When Catalytic Carbon is in production, what will be the COST?
Advantages
And…What about aluminum?
From Water to Hydrogen
Pure water NOT required
Advantages
Pure water NOT required.
Salt water works well.
More advantages …
Advantages
100% of Emissions are Eliminated
No Smokestack needed
No Particulate Matter
No Carbon Dioxide
No Nitrous Oxides
No Sulfur Dioxide
No Mercury
Technology Verified?
Aluminum cost
Advantages
• Aluminum is the world's most abundant metal. It is extracted from Bauxite. Current reserves of Bauxite = enough to meet our needs for Aluminum for the next few centuries.

More advantages …
Advantage: Aluminum is cheap
U.S. Dollars per metric ton
Use Scrap Aluminum!
More advantages …
CC-HOD Advantages
1. No electricity needed2. No power input required to sustain hydrogen production4. pH neutral5. No electrolyte
No Corrosion
More advantages …
Stays in liquid.Can be recycled.
Automatic separation of hydrogen and liquid
Gas vapor
(bubbles)
Recycling Advantages
More advantages …
Advantages
1. Any temp
2. Any pressure
3. In liquid
We prefer 180F, in water, at 1 ATM
Temp = 174F

Technology Verification
1. Flame test
Technology Verification
1. Flame test
2. Hydrogen purity test
The purity of our hydrogen was measured to be approximately 93%. The hydrogen production began with air in the container and in the tubes leading to the measurement instrumentation. The remaining 7% was believed to be water vapor/air; the amount of the water vapor depends on the temperature.
93% H2Independent Test Lab
Technology Verification
1. Flame test
