> The reactor ... feeds on aluminum grains and water and produces hot hydrogen. This hydrogen is then converted into electrical energy that replaces the battery in an electric vehicle. >The products of the reaction are warm air and water vapor which are later chilled and reused. “The water is not consumed, it is returned to the tank after it goes through the process. Even though the system works on aluminum and water, in practice it doesn’t use up the water,” Yampolsky tells NoCamels. Ok, so if water (H2O) and aluminum go in, and hydrogen, water vapor, and hot air comes out (and later the article says aluminum oxide comes out as well), and the water is not used up, where does the hydrogen come from? I.e.: 1(Al) + 1(H2O) -> 1(Al2O3) + 1(H2O) + heat + H2 Now, the system could obtain oxygen from the atmosphere, so the excess output oxygen could be accounted for that way. But from where does the excess H2 come from, if the water is not consumed? Something does not add up, given what the article reports.
