Re: Hydrogen Peroxide Powered ICE

This looks fairly easy to do on a small scale, using wind or photovoltaic power

and a pressure swing absorption O2 concentrator.

 

BTW, Jones, N2O has the same molecular weight and number of electrons as CO2

and close to the same storage transport pressures. Lots of it used around hospitals.

OTOH, there was an incident where it was fed into the contractor-crossed O2 plumbing

of a new hospital a few years ago. It really wasn't  a laughing matter.

Combined cycle power generation using controlled hydrogen peroxide decomposition

 

"Currently, motive power of carriers such as land vehicles, aircraft and/or maritime vessels require power generation which is dependent on conventional systems such as non-renewable fossil fuel or battery discharge. This power generation is inefficient and produces toxic waste products, such as carbon monoxide. Engines use the available atmosphere to combine with the fuel for combustion. Although filters or converters are used on vehicles, and scrubbers are commonly installed on board vessels, safety hazards remain problematic with these fuels. Efficiencies have increased with conventional fuels, however, with the large number of carriers in use today, even minimal amounts of an emitted toxicant becomes cumulatively handful. In addition to environmental contamination, fossil fuels such as gasoline present other problems. Fuels need to be transported to distribution centers. Several types of fossil fuels are used, which add to the logistical complexity. There is also a ! ! global limitation of the fossil fuels available which may be refined into a power source."
