This invention will produce clean water and clean air. This invention will provide clean water by using brine water to produce energy in the form of hydrogen, which is eventually converted back into fresh water, which can be used. Hydrogen gas produced from renewable energy can be combined with atmospheric oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. This energy creation and use process in the form of hydrogen creates virtually no pollution. This hydrogen energy use process is thus cleaner than the use of petroleum combustion technologies, which pollute air and water. | 09-08-2011 |
