Turns out, the air can become almost infinite source of energy. And a new study showed the opportunity. Because the air is saturated solar steam and the surface of the Earth illuminates and warms the Sun. This means — the available source of much needed human civilization energy is always and everywhere, could only find a way to produce it, and that was done by the researchers.
Researchers have developed compound — "solar paint" that could absorb moisture from the air and decompose it into oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen produced can be used as the cleanest type of fuel.
Developed a "solar paint" that contains a link, which is also a new development, existing similar to silica gel (silicon gel) used in a sachet to absorb moisture, and is also used for preserving food, medicines and electronics in a fresh and dry condition.
But, unlike silica, new material, synthetic molybdenum sulfide, functioning in the role of the semiconductor and is the catalyst of the process of decomposition of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
Lead researcher Dr Dance Torben (Torben Daeneke) from RMIT University (RMIT University) in Melbourne, Australia, explains the essence of the new development.
The Researchers found that the mixing of the connection with particles of titanium oxide leads to the creation of the sunlight absorbing paint, which produces hydrogen from solar energy and moist air.
Titanium dioxide is a white pigment that is already currently widely used in the paints used to paint walls. This means that a simple addition of the composition of the new material can turn an ordinary wall into the design, "harvest" energy and producing fuel.
As noted by Dr. Torben Dance, a new development has many advantages. System operating on its basis, does not require the exclusive use of purified or filtered water. Fuel by new technology can be produced anywhere where there is water vapor in the air, even in areas remote from water.
A Colleague of Dr. Torben Daneke, Professor Emeritus Cores Kalantar-zadeh (Kourosh Kalantar-zadeh) completes the story of new perspective technologies of production of energy "from the air", once again Recalling that hydrogen is the cleanest source of energy and can be used not only in fuel cells but also in a familiar with a long time of human civilization internal combustion engines.
The System is based on new developments can be used even in very dry, hot climates near oceans. Sea water evaporates under the influence of heat, and the resulting vapour can then be absorbed for fuel.
Koros Kalantar-zadeh says:
«This is an extraordinary concept — the fuel production from the Sun and present in the air water a couple».
Whether mankind a useful paint that can "learn" to produce fuel any the painted surface it?
