For over 600 years the world's best Scientists, Chemists, Physicists, and
Alchemists have been searching for a Universal Solvent; something that they could
use to dissolve anything, so it could reconstituted into anything else they
might need; like Gold, or Diamonds, or Fresh Water, or Hydrogen, even Oxygen:
The Ultimate Trick of Material Science.
Although it is not a liquid, there is already a solution available for this.
It is possible to build a Mass Spectrometer the size of Ion
Implanter and collect Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, and other pure elements directly
from trash. Let’s use this abundant resource to power our upcoming Fuel
Cell Economy.
There is an rich source of
Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon and other trace elements being stored in post-consumer
plastics, used solvents & oils, toxic waste dumps, and warehouses stuffed full
of discarded byproducts & E-wastes.
U.S.M.’s are designed to
recover this clean energy resource from global trash piles while drastically
reducing the need for strip-mining new Land. Instead, the Mining Companies can strip-mine
the overflowing garbage dumps and burgeoning E-waste warehouses for the
rare-earth elements used in today’s hi-tech electronic manufacturing.
In essence, a few plastic
bottles have enough Oxygen and Hydrogen bound-up in long-chain molecules to
supply the average consumer with about 1500 watts of heat, electricity, and a
pint of hot water from their Household Fuel Cell each morning.
Using well-known technologies from both the Mass Spectrum Analysis Industry
and the Semiconductor Manufacturing Industry, we could already be using these
machines. We could be dissolving old computers, consuming toxic wastes, and
strip-mining Super Fund Sites for precious raw materials in pure elemental form
before strip-mining more fresh Land to smelt with yet more air polluting coal.
Moreover, This same technology can be modified to recover vast
amounts of CO2 from the Earth's Atmosphere and return pure Oxygen to
our breathable atmosphere as well as supply a large abundance of pure
Carbon to a variety of Industries from tires, to water filters, to structural
fibers, to diamond coatings, and the rest.
This is not about Science. This is
about the Conservation of Matter;
conserving the
last of the Planet’s Rare-Earth Resources, --down to the last atom.
The secret to a Universal Solvent is Temperature. Every Atom, Chemical, and
Element known on Earth has a Melting Temperature, an Evaporation Temperature,
an Ionization Temperature, an Eichner Frequency, and
an Ionization Potential. These five principles can be used in conjunction with
proper machine timing to melt, evaporate, ionize, sort by atomic weight, and
recycle a wide variety of toxic materials, chemicals, solvents, plastics, and
raw elements currently used in Hi-Tech Manufacturing today; --in a similar way
that these toxic Computer Chips are made in the first place.
There are four basic machine configurations to start working with; a description of each follows below. More detailed drawings and engineering specs will be published in the months to come. In the meantime, consider starting your own newsletters on the subject.
1) KNOWN MATERIALS MACHINE
This is the easiest machine to design and is specifically suited to work on a
particular semiconductor manufacturing floor, where the all materials used on
the floor are known and quantified on a daily basis. It is useful for returning
defective products and test materials back into the manufacturing process
before they ever leave the factory.
The basic idea is to expand the "sorting capability" of the average
Ion Implanter. Using a long Analyzer Magnet as a "pre-sorter" you can
shift the mass of lighter ions to the inside curve and the heavier ions to the
outside, then a series of smaller, more specific Analyzer Magnets can sort the
different materials at a finer level into the various Collection Chambers.
It's important to return the electrons from the Combustion Faraday Cup in the
right proportions to the different Collection Chambers to cancel the Ionic
Motion. This provides far more efficient collection of the Rare Earth Elements
and their isotopes; like Arsenic, Boron, Cobalt, Gallium, Lead, Mercury,
Nickel, Copper, Iron, Oxygen, Tin, Aluminum, and Gold; that are used 24 hours a
day in the production of semiconductor based products.
The earliest prototype machines of this type should be able to reach at least 99.998% purity of separation easily and can be designed and built in about 3 years with standard components.
There are basically two types of Collection Chambers:
1) Re-Changeable Cryo-Heads
for solid materials, and,
2) Two-Stage Turbo Pump-Down Canisters for gases and liquids.
The physical floor space for this type of machinery is likely to be fairly large, but it needs little or no Clean Room considerations, just a solid, stable foundation.
2)
This one is the most important. This type of machinery
should be trucked into all Super Fund Sites and used to literally 'mine' these
toxic waste dumps for raw elements needed in the hi-tech manufacturing sector
for next year's products. This solves three very important problems at once; 1)
we can completely clean up these horrific toxic land-spills; 2) supply the
Hi-Tech Manufacturing Industry with the refined elements it needs; and, 3) most
important of all, we never have to strip-mine the Earth for raw materials
again. We have already dug up enough materials from the Earth for all of
Humanity. We just need to start strip-mining the toxic landfills and overflowing
trash dumps for the necessary hi-tech raw materials.
Ideally, this design requires a two-story building; the upper floor is a column that processes the lighter volatiles and plastic out-gases, and the lower floor processes the more solid materials and heavy metals similar to the KNOWN MATERIALS MACHINE described above.
By using Ionization Potential to sort the volatile gases, certain chemicals will "light-up" at certain voltage potentials. Once ionized between a pair of screens, different gases can be shifted sideways at different heights in the column with either small magnet assemblies or more high voltage Extraction Plates. Again, close attention to the reverse electron flow is necessary for the pure collection of these ionized particles.
3) HEAVY LIQUIDS IONIZATION COLUMN
This is a much more sophisticated version Ionization
Column described above. It combines many of the standard practices of an
I'm not advocating more Oil Drilling, but this is the best way to turn a barrel of Crude Oil, or any other toxic Organic Chemical(s), into pure, non-polluting energy for Fuel Cells. We need to start recovering both Oxygen and Hydrogen immediately to make Fresh Water with Fuel Cells from the wide variety Solvents, Oils, Plastics, and Post-Consumer Waste Products; --most of which have been created by/for the Automobile Industry in the first place.
This machine can provide the best foundation for a smooth transition into a "Hydrogen Economy". It is crucial to recover the Oxygen as well; it's just as important as Hydrogen in the H2O Fuel Cell Process for recovering the purest Water and maintaining the longest lasting Fuel Cells. In fact, using both purified Oxygen and purified Hydrogen together are crucial in sustaining a long term Fuel Cell Economy.
Keep in mind, an H2O Fuel Cell can suck as much Oxygen from the air as a 'large-block V8' engine; like that found in most SUV's and trucks. Yes, there is no pollution in the room, but there's also no air for you to breathe either.
With the extensive amounts of clear-cutting, reducing the redwood/pine forests, and deforestation of the Rain Forests world-wide, the Oxygen re-generating systems of the Planet are seriously compromised; we don't need to use up the rest of the Oxygen making "clean energy".
Recycling Oxygen from plastics and other post-consumer wastes is just as crucial as recycling Hydrogen.
4) INDUCTIVE CENTRIFUGE MACHINE
This is used strictly for sorting Heavy Metals. This
machine is similar, but somewhat larger than the "G-Force" machines
used to test how flabby astronauts' cheeks get before their bodies turn to
mush.
It consists of four large, balanced, spinning ceramic crucibles with inductive properties. These crucibles spin past powerful magnets and use the Eddy Currents involved to heat the material to just past melting temperature. This can be controlled with the speed; the faster this centrifuge goes around, the hotter things get. And, at those forces, it would be easy to separate many different metals from each other without using any more toxic solvent chemistry.
The second step is to turn off the magnets while everything is still spinning, letting it cool and solidify in place.
The third step is to drop these hot "layered slugs" into large
vats of Liquid Nitrogen and let the different Coefficients of Thermal
Expansions snap the various metals apart into separate disks. With additional
thermal shocks, you may be able to powderize these
disks as well.
5) CO2 ATMOSPHERIC EXTRACTION TO RE-BALANCE ATMOSPHERIC O2 LEVELS
A new varient called for by Virgin Fuels can process nearly 3
million tons of atmoshere a day to remove Carbon from CO2 and return
almost 2 million tons of O2 to our breathable atmosphere each day. This is roughly the
the same amount that the recently destroyed Rain Forests were producing
for centuries.
This reduction of CO2 with the replenishment of O2 to our natural atmoshere is critical to our overall Planetary Health. Without enough Oxygen, everything dies, regardless of anything other environmental problem we may have caused.
In response to the challenge put up by Mr. Branson of Virgin
Industries, http://www.virgin.com/subsites/virginfuels/ a facility the size of Moffet Field in Mtn. View CA
can be easily converted into a massive CO2 Scrubbing Plant. This equates to
removing roughly 27,000 Tons of Carbon each day from the atmosphere and
shipping it worldwide to a variety of Industries from tires, to water filters, to structural
fibers, and diamond coatings.
Plans and Systems are currently being developed to tackle this
extreme challenge. Details on the progress will be posted here as soon
as it happens.
