PURITY

  • AEC attained a purity rating of 99.9%, conducted by Maxxam Analytics on Sept 20th,2003
  • AEC has reduced impurity rates from 5000 ppm (parts per million) to only 17 ppm, far superior than the 100 ppm benchmark needed for typical fuel cell operations

PROCESS

Though details of hydrogen production process cannot be fully disclosed at the present time, as patents are pending, the following can be answered: AEC's hydrogen production technology:
  • Is not Electrolysis
  • " Does not require external energy input of any type during the primary hydrogen production process
  • Uses only bio-compatible elements (not harmful to the environment/humans)
  • Functions at any temperature above the freezing point of the electrolyte.

INPUT

  • Tap or sea water.
  • AEC proprietary materials;
  • readily available and price-stable combinations of metals and chemicals
  • solution (electrolyte)
  • reaction container and apparatus

OUTPUT

  • 99.9% tested hydrogen (gaseous form)
  • Oxygen
  • Drinkable water

SUMMARY OF BENEFITS

  • Very low cost
  • No additional energy required (aside from energy inherent in creation of the original metals)
  • Uses only bio-compatible elements (unlike Sulfur Iodine and some other methods)
  • Low volatility - no special storage of material is required (unlike encapsulated
  • metal hydride, which must be stored in oils, due to reaction with moisture). By contrast, AEC's material can be held in the hand.
