Redeption of hydrogen

The oldest way of reception of hydrogen - is electrolyze of water, during which, a constant current is passed, and hydrogen is accumulated on the cathode, and oxygen - on the anode. Such the technology makes it too expensive. Therefore while the hydrogen is used only for starting of space ships with hydrogen-oxygen engines. More oftenly the technology of hot processing of water steam at temperature 700-900 °C with participation of light petrol and heavy liquid fuel, collecting oxygen, is used for reception of hydrogen. It also an expensive way. There are some projects of cheap reception of hydrogen. For example, it is offered to construct in Greenland some great power stations, which will use thawed water of glaciers for manufacture of the electric power, and the energy will be spent on a place on electrolyze for reception of hydrogen, its liquation and transportation on pipelines and in tankers to Europe and America. The other projects are about the use of energy of nuclear and special solar power stations for reception of hydrogen by a way of electrolyze of water.

However nature itself gives the recipe for reception of hydrogen without huge expenses of energy. On a surface of particles of suspensions the adsorbed and fixed on a surface ferments with high specificity of catalytic action, exist in water. They are capable to split unique connection in one of substances at very high activity in usual conditions. Immobilized ferments can be used for reception of hydrogen. Imagine a powder with immobilized on particles ferments. A powder is put in a jar with water, staying under the sun, and the active allocation of hydrogen begins in it. The attempts of creation of such "a magic powder "are done.

The microbiological way of reception of hydrogen is also possible. There is a number of microorganisms in the ground, which allocate hydrogen as a collateral product. In case of the achievement of cheap reception of hydrogen fuel and development of technology of its accumulation, storage and transportation, the mankind will receive an inexhaustible source of ecologically pure carrier of energy, built - in in natural system of water circulation.
