Silicon Nanoparticles Could Lead To On-Demand Hydrogen Generation
cylonlover writes "Researchers at the University of Buffalo have created spherical silicon nanoparticles they claim could lead to hydrogen generation on demand becoming a 'just add water' affair. When the particles are combined with water, they rapidly form hydrogen and silicic acid, a nontoxic byproduct, in a reaction that requires no light, heat or electricity. In experiments, the hydrogen produced was shown to be relatively pure by successfully being used to power a small fan via a small fuel cell."
I wasn't having an illegal campfire on the beach. It was the sand reacting with the seawater.

That's some serious R&D by the whoopie cushion industry.
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
... to sodium. Instant, on-demand hydrogen!
If your pathetic genome had better redundancy and error correction you wouldn't care about the radiation.
Oh wook at da poor wittle hue-mans, can't come out an pway in the milky way because them scawed for cosmic rays. Have fun being grounded dork!
How long have we got till peak silicon? I'm going to start stockpiling sand for the forthcoming commodities bubble.
