To be honest, I'm mostly clueless about the funding of universities. My understanding from working in a development office at a public university was that funding came primarily from the state, then from donors, the majority of whom were alumni. Then again, this was for a narrow humanities field, so it may be different for technological research. Could you provide me a source so I can research this? I'd appreciate it, as you've piqued my curiosity.

We all know there are alternative cures for cancer that work.

No, we all don't. I don't. This is perhaps the first time I've heard of an effective cure for cancer. A couple of my friends are aspiring oncologists (many of whom have done research with St. Jude, which receives the majority of its funding from individual donations). Whatever cure you're talking about, let me know and I'll pass it on to them. These friends are ambitious and trying to make a name. They'll probably bite.

Also. The sheer number of of local newspapers reporting about this, adds additional merit to this technology.

The deafening silence of the scientific community in response adds to my skepticism.

Patrick Serfass, Director of Communications for the The National Hydrogen Association The National Hydrogen Association which is a respected organization had this to say about it: "The technology on the whole is very simple and it works. We feel incredibly positive about it. We feel it is one of the important emerging markets in hydrogen today.” |
The NHA... the same NHA that is funded by Shell, BP, Chevron, GM, and GE, among others? See
http://www.hydrogenassociation.org/p...enMessages.pdf. Aren't they the ones who are suppressing this information?
I checked out the NHA site. They're focused on using hydrogen as an energy carrier rather than performing energy creating electrolysis. The focus on using some energy source (solar, air, nuclear) to perform hydrolysis. The resulting H2 and O2 are stored in tanks or fuel cells and the energy is used. Once used, the tanks or cells are recharged using the renewable source. I could not find anything about energy creating electrolysis devices in cars. Link?

I'll end with, is it not that hard to believe that if you have Multi-nationals that own the market on the worlds fuel, they would not be threatened with advances that would take away their dominance?
|
Not at all hard to believe. They're willing to start wars and ruin lives for their profits. However, they would only try to block technology that actually works. I'm yet to see oil companies take any action to block this technology. Again, source please?
