Well testing your ship to use hydrogen power could sure make it blow up in Harbor and catch fire.

US Navy Advances Tech To Power Ships With Fuel Made From Seawater

The Navy’s quest to power its ships by converting seawater into fuel is one step nearer fruition.

University of Rochester chemical engineers, in collaboration with researchers at the Naval Research Laboratory, the University of Pittsburgh, and OxEon Energy, have demonstrated that a potassium-promoted molybdenum carbide catalyst efficiently and reliably converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, a critical step in the process.

“This is the first demonstration that this type of molybdenum carbide catalyst can be used on an industrial scale,” says Marc Porosoff, assistant professor of chemical engineering at Rochester. In a paper in Energy & Environmental Science, the researchers describe an exhaustive series of experiments they conducted at molecular, laboratory and pilot scales to document the catalyst’s suitability for scale-up.

If Navy ships could create their own fuel from the seawater they travel through, they could remain in continuous operation. Other than a few nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines, most Navy ships must periodically align themselves alongside tanker ships to replenish their fuel oil, which can be difficult in rough weather. In 2014, a Naval Research Laboratory team led by Heather Willauer announced it had used a catalytic converter to extract carbon dioxide and hydrogen from seawater and then converted the gases into liquid hydrocarbons at a 92 percent efficiency rate.

Since then the focus has been on increasing the efficiency of the process and scaling it up to produce fuel in sufficient quantities.

The carbon dioxide extracted from seawater is extremely difficult to convert directly into liquid hydrocarbons with existing methods. So, it is necessary to first convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide via the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction, which can then be converted into liquid hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). Typically, catalysts for RWGS

contain expensive precious metals and deactivate rapidly under reaction conditions. However, the potassium-modified molybdenum carbide catalyst is synthesized from low-cost components and did not show any signs of deactivation during continuous operation of the 10 day pilot-scale study.

That’s why this demonstration of molybdenum carbide catalyst is important.

Porosoff, who first began working on the project while serving as a postdoctoral research associate with Willauer’s team, discovered that adding potassium to a molybdenum carbide catalyst supported on a surface of gamma alumina could serve as a low-cost, stable, and highly selective catalyst for converting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide during RWGS.

The potassium lowers the energy barrier associated with the RWGS reaction, while the gamma alumina – marked with grooves and pores, much like a sponge – helps ensure that the molybdenum carbide catalyst particles remain dispersed, maximizing the surface area available for reaction, Porosoff says.

To determine whether potassium-promoted molybdenum carbide might also be useful for capturing and converting carbon dioxide from power plants, the lab will conduct further experiments to test the catalyst’s stability when exposed to common contaminants found in flue gas such as mercury, sulfur, cadmium and chlorine.

Well if you pay with cash I have to have employees wear gloves I have to buy - disinfect the money which I have to pay for and the time to do so and the added time to allow for the disinfectant to work before deposting the transaction so i can charge more for paying with cash money?

Find your local police and fire responders and see what calls they get…

The best one I have ever heard was the guy that called when he took his first sip of coffee in the morning looked out his back window and saw 2 horses in his back yard - and called asking if anyone reported them missing.

Honestly I don't know if they are fudging it - but I do know death rate all along about 4% and that I folloed it from Wuhan shut down on and have read tons of scholarly articles and this is a bioweapon.

Never just listen to what eanyone says follow the actions they show the real knolege and agenda and truth behind it all.

ie spraying the streets and welding people inside to mask no mask to flooding in China..

this shit is just weird.
