This is about what we do in the field of more respectable science!
Love the hole in the t- shirt Alan Smith , I have some of my own and I wear them with pride. You are looking even younger than when we met in London 10 years ago!!!!
Love the hole in the t- shirt
Ruby is coming to the rescue with a new LENR T-shirt. I have one coming also. And since it is already in the abstracts, I can add she will introduce her LENR cartoon book soon. She has been working very hard on that for quite some time...along with so many other projects; i.e. interviews, teaching Math, preparing for this ICCF, painting. From what I and Alan have already seen, it is a treasure. Presenting a humorous, yet editorial perspective on LENR's history.
If i have well understood at same place Ecalox drives several activities as hydrogen by aluminium product, Russ Georges researches, Lenr helping.
I suggest this is the kind of multi-skill pole that needs to be developed to move forward.
There will be salutary synergies in the team and you never know which way will decide that will be the best one.
I remember those TETRAPAK packages for milk, when I had to be no more than 6 years old, I think.
At the time, I didn't understand how this packaging couldn't melt by this UHT principle, I was already asking technical questions ..
Of course this is a huge mess, it still lacks, in my opinion, strong governments incentives to force to do more recycling, I would say "technical".
Unfortunately from your side,it seems to be very busy, right now, the government..
Alan Smith good stuff. Productizing it will be challenging due to contamination of actual household recycling. Imaging tetra pack full of frying oil. I 've heard that they see a lot of fat in recycled paper and have to reject entire batches to the dump.
Not sure if you we heard about fiasco of Ottawa plasmification startup Plasco. All worked fine in the test facility before they get to processing actual garbage.
Plasma gasification (which according to Santilli generates excess energy from the generation of magnecules of the gases that are created from the materials in contact with the plasma arc) would be better suited for liquid waste. Liquefying (by grinding and suspension in wastewater) the garbage first could help. I looked into this kind of technology for some years, thinking on its application for combined municipal sewage treatment/energy generation, but the price Santilli’s company charged for a small scale plant were too high and they did not offer me the option to lease the plant for a pilot project that would have validated the technology for bringing investors later. Now that Magnegas changed name to Taronis technologies, they seem to have improved the plasma arc section of their reactors with a system that allows a controllable residence time in the chamber to increase the opportunity of contact with the arc. Unfortunately they are now focused in selling gas and obtaining grants from the government for pilot scale projects of waste treatment, so you can tell the technology is far from mature yet.
Curbina according to Plasco, it worked just fine on solid waste. They were planning to generate electricity for syngas to offset losses on flat garbage disposal fee around 60 dollars per tonne. All I am saying they could have had 'idealistic' understanding of garbage. Same goes for recycled material. What Alan might have used in the lab is not necessarily what people will put in recycling. I do see, though, how this product can be valuable in the certain niches.
I place my bets on improving hydrolysis tech whatever it is - solar-h2 , solar-power-h2, wind-power-h2, etc

I agree that real post-consumer waste can be very problematic. This is where the areas of public education about recycling and also intelligent waste collection, sorting and treatment become vital. I'm notunder any illusions about the difficulties, but some things are ok- post consumer milk cartons are ideal in some ways, since the casein (milk protein) acts as a binder, and the process I use converts the milk fat to solid waxy stearins, which might help with waterproofing. Yet to be proven though.
Simon is a supporter for sure. I'll answer some of the questions raised on his blog tomorrow.
User Asterix is a piece of work, anyway. I already commented there but he surely knows better.
Alan Smith your green business should be less frustrating than Lenr because already results
Il makes a balance !
Alan Smith your recycling process sounds pretty promising. Any company producing aluminium scrap should be interested, because this could be an additional business model. Close where I live there are at least three companies which would be potential customers. Ball Packaging with Rauch / Red Bull, Hydro Extrusion and Mahle Automotive. Plenty of aluminium scrap.😉
Another competitor for used cans next door https://cleantechnica.com/2019…ir-battery-in-his-garage/
Alan Smith another article says they recently got permission to use Austin name. That can explain recent incorporation. As with many tech projections may not match real life performance.
