Well this is all a little odd to say the least, and I for one am really not sure what to make of it!
On the one hand we seem to have them (Solar Hydrogen Trends Inc) claiming some super, super-dooper efficient dissociation of the water molecule...
Konstantine Balakiryan, Founder, CEO/Chief Scientist and driving force behind the seven models of the hydrogen reactor, added “With our technology, a hydrogen plant with 150 million cubic feet per day production would provide enough hydrogen to power 200 thousand homes. With only 500 watts/hour of input energy we produce 2,797 cubic feet or 79,098 liters per hour of hydrogen or 221 kWh energy equivalent – at the cost of only $1.80USD. Our hydrogen reactor technology could very well be the biggest breakthrough of our time.”
...but then we seem to be having Konstantin Balakiryan - the chief scientist - posting questions about their very own process!?
Dear Colleagues,
I am closely following all the discussions on multiple forums.
I really like your judgments and their proximity to understanding the processes that occur in reality in the hydrogen reactor "Symphony 7A".
Unfortunately, according to the existing ethics in the scientific community, the authors are not encouraged to discuss about any research results with the media before they are published in scientific journals.
However, in order for you to understand what a great discovery GOD gave to us all please try to find answers in the following questions:
1. If the working substance in the reactor is water, how come the output is almost only hydrogen ?
2. After splitting water where do molecules of oxygen disappear?
3. What role in stunning efficiency of "Symphony 7A" plays a collective excitation of nucleons in the nuclei of atoms of oxygen?
4. Is it possible at a rate of 0.5 kW energy hour and at operating temperature 60 degrees centigrade, to have a nuclear fission and fusion?
5 . To produce 1kg of hydrogen it is necessary to split 9 liters of water, then how or in what way in this hydrogen reactor "Symphony 7A", it takes only 1 liter?
Sincerely,
Konstantin Balakiryan
PhD, Professor
They also state that there are altogether a set of 16 different processes, both physical and chemical acting simultaneously on the hydrogen bonds. That's an awful lot of processing going on simultaneously! And unless we have some idea of what those processes are, then we could be theorising on what's actually happening forever and a day.
Why is the chief scientist posting on forums, asking questions about his own process? Or is this just his way of dropping a few teasing snippets to whet our appetites...or dare I say, attract funding? Nevertheless, how does he think that anyone can even attempt to answer those questions in order to understand what is happening without knowing what the 16 physical and chemical processes are?
Unless I'm missing something major here, then this altogether smells a little fishy and clearly something is seriously not right!
One thing for sure though, given that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram, then they cannot be getting 1 kg of hydrogen from 1 litre of water. And it does not matter how many times they do the maths, you can't get more hydrogen out of water than there is in it in the first place. (and please no one bring up that bloke who supposedly fed 5000 people with 5 fishes and a couple of loaves of bread!).
They're also claiming that 93% hydrogen is being produced, so yes, a good question is, "what can be happening to the oxygen?". Well obviously if it's not being produced as a gas then it must be reacting at some stage during one of the 16 processes to form an oxide, (but this won't produce any excess electrons), it will simply form a new compound. But perhaps the very action of forming this new compound is one of the 16 processes that acts as a catalyst to dissociate the water molecule. Who knows, we really have nothing to go on yet, so at best can only speculate.
Rather oddly there is next to nothing on their website:
http://www.solarhydrogentrends.com/I'm also wondering where the 'Solar' part of their name comes in? That said the whole name is a little odd.
It will be interesting to see where this goes, but I've already got a 'symphony' of alarms bells going off.
And here's something really weird, the good professor seemingly spells his own name wrong. On their website it is spelled 'Konstantine', but he spells it 'Konstantin' in his posted reply?
