ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I think the quicker we get rid of the fossil fuels the better. what do you want to replace it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Like I said, compressed Hyrdogen. But that is what this thread is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Like I said' date=' compressed Hyrdogen. But that is what this thread is about.[/quote'] yeah, but the money factor is not going to go away because of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I don't know why we don't make some more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I don't know why we don't make some more money. the cost of hydrogen production is simply too high for hydrogen fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 of course not. Most feel what they're doing is right, it's just that no one can see the benefits in the short run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah well I think we should continue thinking what we could use for fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah well I think we should continue thinking what we could use for fuel.

ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 if only we could drill deep enough below the earth's crust we'd have a much easier time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Below the Earth's crust is molten lava. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Below the Earth's crust is molten lava. Actually the mantle is solid, but yes it's extremely hot, and we can use that heat for energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 But that has it's dangers as the pressure under there is huge and it could be released at high pressures causing chaos, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well I don't think we will ever capture that power. Well the first thing we need is to actually be able to drill through the crust, since it's 32 miles thick and the deepest we've been hasn't even reached 10 miles yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 It's because the further we dig the longer the drill has to be and the drill will just melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 exactly, until we come up with a new material that can withstand the heat. But all I'm getting at is if we DO succeed in getting that deep, the mantle's energy is a sound idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
