Russian scientists have learned to burn aluminum in water

The discovery of this technology can give a serious impetus to the development of power plants designed to replace internal combustion engines.

Who created this technology

Representatives of the Joint Institute of High Technologies (JIHT) of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported on the development of an innovative method of burning aluminum in water and steam.

And according to experts, their method does not require expensive reagents and is significantly cheaper than similar methods for extracting energy from metals.

Also, in the course of numerous experiments, it was found that at the same temperature the process of aluminum oxidation occurs much more intensively in steam than in liquid water.

What is the essence of technology

At the same time, with an increase in temperature and pressure, the rate of aluminum oxidation also increases.

So it was established that in the temperature corridor from 250 to 400 degrees Celsius in one hour, up to 1 centimeter of an aluminum blank burns out. Moreover, during this process, pure hydrogen and thermal energy are actively released.

The hydrogen thus obtained can be used as a fuel.

Moreover, as specialists emphasize, the hydrogen obtained in this way is an environmentally friendly and relatively cheap method.

In addition, it is planned to significantly increase the efficiency of the technology by sealing the installation. This will also allow using in work not specially purified water, but the most common tap water.

You can get acquainted with the work done by scientists by reading the material published in the International Journal of Energy Research.

So why is she needed

Of course, a completely logical question arises: "Why is all this necessary?" So this technology will allow quite effectively replace environmentally friendly combustion engines with innovative combustion engines aluminum.

And the energy obtained from such engines will not only be cheaper, but also safer than the energy obtained from burning classical fuels.

Progress is not standing still, and perhaps in the near future we will see the decline of the era of internal combustion engines powered by carbon fuels. Well, wait and see.
