Proposing The HOX-HE:
Hydrogen/Oxygen - Heat Engine
There has to be a clean,
safe way to boil water.
New Paradigm or Vexing Enigma?
Can we get more energy Out than In?
Leveraging Hydrogen/Oxygen's controllable
3200°C Combustion is the key.
The HOX-HE uses a
prehistoric method to store radiant
energy for boiling water.
Together with new technologies,
can HOX-HE be the missing key?
Premise: Yes, we can get significantly
more energy out than in.
The Future: Beyond Turbines.
No moving parts!
Even after steam, The HOX-HE will
continue to be the
optimum way to heat water.
Electrical Energy from our Wastewater?
Yes, Microbial Electrolysis Cell.
Clean, safe existing technology.
Phase 1:
Retrofit existing turbine generated
electrical power plants to use
the HOX-HE heated steam.
Phase 2:
Scale up Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology
to produce electricity.
Use the HOX-HE to heat ALL the water.
Phase 3:
Eliminate Turbines,
too many moving parts.
Adopt an all Hydrogen Fuel Cell Grid.
Uniformly Cast Magma Ingots
permits full AI computer automation.
The HOX-HE Storage System.
Leveraging the combustion and prolonging radiant heating.
The HOX-HE System.
Virtually Recovers and Recycles All water Used.
Water, H2O is the only byproduct of Hydrogen/Oxygen Combustion, and recoverable.
The Totally Retrofittable HOX-HE Mobile Unit
The Perfect Hydrogen-Oxygen Gas Mixture.
The optimum ratio of gases “Hydrogen to Oxygen” is:
The optimum ratio of gases “Hydrogen to Oxygen” is:
2 Hydrogen atoms to 1 Oxygen atom, mirroring the chemical composition of Water.
2H2O(l)→ 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)
2H2O(l)→ 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)
Equation for optimum combustion.
Also matching the amount of each gas produced through electrolysis of water.

Water Recovery and Recycling.
It is possible to recover and recycle all the water produced from hydrogen-oxygen combustion in an appropriate designed closed vessel.

A Critical Component of the Solution.
Alternative uses for fossil fuels.
Hydrogen cannot be adopted globally without developing a financially viable alternative use for the fossil fuels: petroleum, natural gas and coal.
Combining AI and 3D Printing.
Petroleum and Natural Gas in The New Paradigm
New manufacturing technologies, 3-D printing and artificial intelligence will herald in a “New Age of Plastics”.
Petroleum and Gas will become too valuable to burn as fuel.
What is A Paradigm Shift?
And How do you identify one?
Just as the Eiffel Tower, (1889, 300 meters tall), heralded a new paradigm in architecture and made possible the Burj Khalifa, (2009, 820 meters tall), combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 3D Printing will usher in a New Age for Petroleum and Natural Gas products.
New, 50% Plastic Composite Jetliner
An Urgent Global Focus on Recycling
Simultaneously, a global effort to resolve plastic recycling is urgently required. It might involve the electrical magnetic spectrum which will be abundantly available.
Coal will be converted to liquefied coal gas (LCG) and reserved for use in all remaining internal combustion engines.
The German model
The logical German model is to pay and phase out the coal industry over 30 years.
In the interim this permits coal’s many stakeholders several generations to prepare. Assuming there will be a complete electrification of the urban and interstate highway transit grid, there will still be a legacy need for internal combustion engines.
