Re: [biofuel] Breakthrough Purports Answer to Global Warming

2004-02-14 Thread Ken Gotberg

This is a good question about what can be done with
CO2 besides putting it back into the atmosphere. 
Let’s say energy is no problem from solar, nuclear,
can things like polymers etc be made out of this
stuff?

 
 But what was important to me was to develop a sense
 of where we stand
 as far as the concept of artifially dealing with
 some of the CO2
 surplus problem.

Maybe we could use all that carbon for printing and writing.  We could
fill our toner cartridges with it, or make pencils from it!  This
revolutionary invention will not only save the environment, but it could
possibly usher in a new golden age of literacy for the peoples of the
world!

This is an non issue.  The oxygen which would be released was in the

combustion,  so there would be no net gain. 

 I'm not sure
what to make of whether or not it would be good to release so much O2.

I was intruiged by it.  The point to me wasn't the spin that the
inventors were putting on it.  That is par for the course.  Many
inventors (not all, but many) fall prey to stupid worthless thinking
that their achievement is the be-all end-all.

I basically dismissed that nonsense before I set eyes on the article.
A society needs many inventions and devices and technologies to
function, (and some human behaviour achievements and ideas on top of
that) and there is no such thing as a be-all end-all device, even if
some are more wonderful than others.

But what was important to me was to develop a sense of where we stand
as far as the concept of artifially dealing with some of the CO2
surplus problem.  

Don't get me wrong. I don't think I presently advocate anything
other than stopping the production of surplus and letting the earth
eco-system's natural inbuilt self-protective processes take some
action.  

But still, I want to be aware of what the artificial advocates are
thinking.  We have gone from the Conservatives coming into power in
2000 actually daring to be serious about the
probably-unbelievably-destructive idea of storing CO2 at the bottom of
Oceans in liquid form.  

While we seem to have abated their enthusiasm for that primitive (and
in my view, somewhat revealingly assinine) notion, we do need to be
aware of it when they come up with something else.

To my eye, the immediate challenges to this artificial notion are:

1.  How much energy would it take to separate Carbon from Oxygen?
2.  What would be done with the Carbon?  I don't think there's enough
of a market for the few products mention for Carbon Black to warrant
being so cavalier about the matter.  If you're talking about
separating enough Carbon from Oxygen to make a difference to Global

Breakthrough Purports Answer to Global Warming
 


Dr. Holcomb announced for the first time a
revolutionary new technology, Electron Stream Carbon
Dioxide Reduction (ESCO2R) commonly called the Carbon
Dioxide Converter that goes to the heart of the
current environmental problem.

see above

 

The scientific community has been focusing its
attention on chemistry-based solutions to the
overwhelming problem of global warming and hazardous
carbon dioxide emissions, said Dr. Holcomb. The
unique technology of the Carbon Dioxide Converter
permanently splits the molecular structure of carbon
dioxide into its basic elements - carbon and oxygen. 
  


chemistry schmesitry, its thermodynamics- 

This converter functions in a similar way for other
toxic greenhouse gases such as sulfur dioxide, the
major cause of acid rain. This proprietary technology
uses a patented and patent pending closed loop system
that burns any fossil or carbon based fuel with zero
harmful emissions. These fuels include coal, oil, gas,
and any biomass including waste and landfills. A
significant byproduct of this process is carbon black,
which is used in the production of tires, printing
ink, and as a pigment for plastics. 
  

the only way this would work at all is if you could extract only the 
energy in the hydrogen  fraction of the hydrocarbon.  And I can assure 
you you would have mountains of carbon piling up very quickly. 



The Black  Veatch report, also released today, found
the demonstrations observed provided convincing data
that indicated carbon dioxide generated during the
combustion of the coal was converted back into carbon
and oxygen by the CO2 Converter. This was clearly
indicated by calibrated, reliable gas analysis
equipment. 
  


I am not saying you can't do, I just suggest that you can't do it  and 
produce power at the same time.

Haven't you perhaps noticed the sorry history of such tech wizardry
