This is similar to the idea that got me started into new energy in 1977.? I wanted to make a battery that was recharged by sunlight.? I used ammonia instead of hydrogen because it was highly soluable in water.? I then used thermal energy to drive the ammonia out of solution.? The concentration of ?ammonia effected the pH across a membrane.?The extraction of electrical energy lowered this concentration.? ?I could reestablish this concentration differential by heating.? The heating drove the ammonia out of the hot water.? ?I had a battery that was rechargeable by sunlight.? Great, now I could use the sun's enegy at night.? The problem was the voltage was very low.? I could not even light?up?one LED.? The voltage across a concentration cell is detemined by the Nerst equation. volts = .058 ln (concentration 1 / concentration 2) = .058 ln (delta pH) The micro volts the cell produced was useless.? I had discoverd that low grade heat is not useful in a steam engine and not useful in a chemical engine.? You must harness the high energy of the sun photons before they degrade to heat.? The inventor of the thermal hydrogen cell will encounter the same problem. I now have came to my path of the quantum transition idea.? I still believe in this one even though I have not produced any anomalous energy to date. Frank Z
