John and Dana of Frequency555.com had the pleasure of being invited to Mike Strizki's home for an interview and a chance to check out some of the cutting edge technology he and his associates have been working on. Namely, Mike is working with hydrogen energy in combination with solar energy and water to create a closed-loop system of renewable energy. The main problem with solar and wind energy is the inability to store the energy collected over any significant length of time. Mike's system uses solar power to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using a machine called an "electrolyzer." The hydrogen is stored in pressurized tanks indefinitely and used when needed to create energy. The oxygen that is created can also be stored and used as needed (we all breath oxygen!). When the hydrogen is burned to create energy the only byproduct created is chemically pure water (H20). The water is then put back into the system and the process starts over again. So basically, so long as there is a sun in the sky, this system will produce energy forever. Best of all, it's free energy!! Once the infrastructure of the system is developed, the only cost would be maintenance, which Mike explains as being minimal. Mike explains how this system can be applied not only to running one's house, but your vehicles as well. Imagine never having to pay for gas at the pump again, but being able to fuel your car up at home... for free! Does this sound too good to be true? And are you <b>...</b>
