Water and hydrogen patents

When it comes to decomposing water into oxygen and hydrogen, there is really one in reality, that is, Pang Qingnian, the chairman of Youth Automobile Co., Ltd. In May 2065438+2009, a news in Nanyang Daily caused a sensation in the domestic car industry, and cars that can run with water became the talk of people at leisure. Of course, the last vigorous technology show proved to be a farce. Pang Qingnian, the chairman, has also become a technical liar.

So what is Pang Qingnian's idea? Why can it attract so many people's attention?

Behind this, the youth car "water-hydrogen engine" technology is used. "Vehicles can run with water" and "a box of water can run 300-500 kilometers", which is both a god and a god. In fact, the core technology of the so-called water-hydrogen engine for young cars is a special conversion device. There is a big water tank on the roof of this car. Water is converted into hydrogen and oxygen through the action of a special conversion device, and then filtered and input into a hydrogen fuel reactor to generate electric energy, thus pushing the automobile forward.

But as for what this special conversion device is and what principle it is, Pang Qingnian is just evasive. According to him, this is because a special catalyst was added. But as for what this special catalyst is, Pang Qingnian didn't elaborate, it looks very powerful, and he didn't apply for a patent. Although I don't know if he has really found an effective way to decompose water, I can be sure that he hasn't studied high school chemistry.

In senior high school chemistry, catalyst is a substance that can change the rate of chemical reaction, but it cannot change the balance of chemical reaction by itself. That is to say, if a reaction can be carried out spontaneously, the role of adding positive catalyst is nothing more than speeding up the reaction, while if a reaction cannot be carried out spontaneously, even if you add more catalyst, it is useless. This is the problem. Water does not spontaneously produce hydrogen and oxygen, but hydrogen and oxygen can spontaneously form water.

If you want to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen, you must increase energy. For example, electrolysis of water uses electric energy to promote this reaction, but the catalyst does not have this function, and no matter how powerful the catalyst is, there is no way to change the direction of the reaction. Pang Qingnian certainly doesn't understand the working principle of catalysts and the conservation of energy.

Therefore, if water can't be decomposed into oxygen and hydrogen just by looking for a catalyst, it needs to be supplemented with energy, and the supplemented energy is also huge. If so much energy is lost in the production of oxygen and hydrogen, then this process is still meaningful.
