[LINK] Functional Water - The World Changes - Again.

In my other life, (Southern Cross Energy) I became extremely interested
in all things Hydrogen.
This although it initially sounds like a dodgy over-unity claim, it
actually has the capacity to create a happier world.

The Next Great Petroleum Alternative: New Hydrogen Energy Generation
Technology Solves Efficiency And Cost Barriers
FUKAI Environmental Research Institute, Inc. experts provide public demo
and meet the press at The Midtown Executive Club, October 25

New York - Japan-based FUKAI Environmental Research Institute, Inc.
invites the press for a public demo of its innovative technology that
generates hydrogen energy at the world's lowest cost - and may hold the
key to future alternatives to petroleum-derived fuel in both industry
and households.

This newly developed technology generates hydrogen by adding aluminum or
magnesium to what is known as "functional water" in the boiling state.
The amount of hydrogen generated is 2.0L per 1g of aluminum or 3.3L per
1g of magnesium.

Thanks to this technology, it is possible to generate the amount of
hydrogen required to generate 1kWh of electricity for a cost of merely
18 cents or so, the world's lowest cost.

Conventional hydrogen-generating technologies are based on steam
reformation processes, electrolytic processes or photocatalytic
processes, each of which have efficiency and/or cost problems. (For
details, please see the company home page:
http://www.fukaisouken.jp/en/.) In order to generate hydrogen, it is
necessary to dissociate the bonding of hydrogen molecules from other
molecules. Given the strength of the bond, conventional processes have
encountered major difficulties, since dissociation requires high energy,
which results in high costs.

The technology recently developed by FUKAI Environmental Research
Institute, Inc. has overcome these problems. By simply adding aluminum
to the functional water, the new technology allows FUKAI to generate
hydrogen with minimal energy cost.

The reason for the high rate of hydrogen production lies in FUKAI's
proprietary functional water: its functional water is in the state ready
to generate hydrogen. By reacting with aluminum or magnesium it begins
to generate large amounts of hydrogen.

Furthermore, the functional water itself can be produced by simply
letting city water pass through a "functional water generation unit,"
which contains natural minerals. This also eliminates the need for
additional energy costs.

Mr. Toshiharu Fukai, the developer of this new technology and the
Representative Director of FUKAI Environmental Research Institute, Inc.,
remarks: "If we make the most of this technology, in the future it will
be possible to run automobiles using water only - no need to use
gasoline or electricity. In the future, water is bound to become a vital
energy resource replacing petroleum-derived fuel. We are also pushing
forward with technology that will allow us to generate hydrogen with
zero cost. If we succeed in this development, even ordinary households
will be able to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen-based power generation at
home will no longer be a dream."

And for the Patent minded, the "technical desciption of Functional
Water..."

or for the less technical minded,  ionised water with an additional
Hydrogen free redical added for that extra boost...

Koltaiism.

Tut tut, what is the world coming too ?
We cant have free energy.

People have worked hard to perfect our taxation system. Without Vehicle
miles travelled or Gasoline taxation, how will the country survive?
