Japanese Company Has A Car That Runs On Water.

Coffman,
   Thanks for your input.  I never realized that the
power demands would vary to such extremes, that
one would need either hefty batteries/storage or
mammoth generator capacity.

Coffman and all,

  Anyone looked at the efficiency of the new sound
wave refrigeration and heat appliances?  When applied
to an off grid house, replacing all major appliances with
this, what would be an educated guess on the average
and peak home power needed?

  I am also curious about efficiency on the new sound wave
water to hydrogen technology, versus electrolysis. Instantly
vaporizes water, or can also immediately convert water into
thermo explosive energy.  Similar to Stanley Meyers
last device, One of the most important inventions of the century.

Thanks,
SirMikey

A hair-dryer needs 1kilowatt, not a house.

On one Hand you are right. A hair dryer might consume 1800W/h as well.
But if you have a energy source,  that gifes you 1 KW/h, is enough to power a house.

24 hours per day multiplied with 1 KW for each hour summes up to 24KW for the Day
My electricity bill counts a daily consum of 8-12 KW.

With such a source you need a clever energy management.
Thats the Point.
Radio, TV and Computer as well as the Bell on the door require a small quantity only , that
can be supplied from a converter via one Battery.
Some of this devises work with 12 Volt .

Heat Energy can be stored in Stones and deloadet via a heat exchanger.

Other appliencys use water as medium to store heat energy.

Wheater it is the water for shower, or the central heater, there is no need to
use a high power supply like 24KW/h.
The loundry for example needs not a heater, but a hotwater supply.
The motor to drive the washdrum can be modified to work with 12 Volt.
Same with the dish washer.
The hair dryer can be supplyed from a converter just as the microwave oven.
But for the baking equipment in the kitchen,it might be more of use to
take propane and such gas to be powered.

Genepax President Interviewed on 'Water Energy System'

Genepax's New Fuel Cell System

Kiyoshi Hirasawa, president of Genepax Co Ltd, unveiled part of the reaction mechanism of the company's new fuel cell system called "Water Energy System" in an interview with Nikkei Electronics.

The system, which is capable of generating power with water and air, was first presented June 12, 2008. As reported in our previous article, the system produces hydrogen through a chemical reaction between water and a metal (or a metal compound) on the fuel electrode side (See related article).

Genepax uses a metal or a metal compound that can cause an oxidation reaction with water at room temperature, the company said. Metals that react with water include lithium, sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium. The main feature of the Water Energy System is that it can be operated for a longer period of time by controlling the reaction of the metal or the metal compound, the company said.

According to Genepax, the metal or the metal compound is supported by a porous body such as zeolite inside the fuel electrode of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The products of the hydrogen generation reaction dissolves in water, and the water containing them will be discharged with water inside the system. Upon the completion of the reaction, the generation of hydrogen and power stops.

Considering the commercialization of the system, Genepax is conducting evaluation tests and plans to release test data.

Toyota hired Pons and Fleischmann back in the 90's... I'm willing to bet that they're just shelving a ton of cold-fusion technology... You know one day Toyota will suddenly magically "discover" some breakthrough in water fuel that they've actually been sitting on for 20 years.
