US Navy Project Creates Viable Fuel from SEAWATER

[COSMO]

Interesting...

Dr Heather Willauer, an research chemist who has spent nearly a decade on the project, said:
'For the first time we've been able to develop a technology to get CO2 and hydrogen from seawater simultaneously, that's a big breakthrough,' she said, adding that the fuel 'doesn't look or smell very different.'
Now that they have demonstrated it can work, the next step is to produce it in industrial quantities.

This will be a game changer for military application.  Makes logistics of supply to naval fleets and aircraft much easier with the decrease of constant shuttling of fuel.

Wonder how fast this will get buried?

It's a game changer for the Navy and aircraft carrier operation and supply, that's for sure.

I would imagine that seeing NRL are posting this in public space that they have the process down pat and are probably happy to see it in the public hands as they are well ahead of the understanding curve and onto something more black in budget and process

If this device was the size of a microwave...then we'd be talking, huh?

Wonder how much energy in vs. energy out?
