스탠포드대, 물로 탄소배출 제로 에너지 개발 VIDEO: Groundbreaking electric powered device that turns water into hydrogen and oxygen could be used to power cities of the future by feeding fuel cells

Groundbreaking electric powered device that turns water into hydrogen and oxygen could be used to power cities of the future by feeding fuel cells

Engineers from Stanford designed the device based on the way our lungs work 

One hundred times thinner than a human hair it could create green energy  

The technique splits water into hydrogen and oxygen to produce fuel

It could also help existing clean energy fuel cells run more efficiently 

스탠포드대, 물로 탄소배출 제로 에너지 개발 사람의 폐 기능에서 착안    숨을 들이쉬고 내쉬는 간단한 호흡 동작이 과학자들로 하여금 깨끗한 전기를 생산할 수 있는 새로운 기술을 개발하도록 자극했다 기술자들은 폐가 작용하는 방식에 따라 물을 연료로 바꾸는 장치를 고안해 냈다. 인간의 머리카락보다 100배 더 얇은 이 장치는 물을 산소와 수소로 나누어 탄소배출이 없는 에너지를 만드는 데 사용할 수 있다.  이 방법은 연료 전지를 포함한 기존의 녹색 에너지 기술이 보다 효율적으로 작동하는데 도움이 될 수 있다고 연구원들은 말한다. 이것들은 현재 수소 버스와 자동차에 동력을 공급하기 위해 사용되고 있고 미래에는 도시 전체를 움직이는 데 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator

The simple action of breathing in and out has inspired scientists to create a new technique for generating clean electricity. 

Engineers have designed a device that transforms water into fuel, based on the way our lungs work.

 

The similarities between the exchange of gases in mammalian lungs and a newly developed mechanism 

to turn water into fuel

One hundred times thinner than a human hair, the gadget splits water into oxygen and hydrogen, which can be used to create carbon-emission free energy.  

 

The device works similarly to the way alveoli work, the membrane repels water molecules on the inside 

while attracting them on the outer surface. Oxygen and hydrogen gases are rapidly produced and transported 

through the thin, alveolus-like membrane - which is one hundred times thinner than a human hair (stock image)

This method could help existing green energy technologies - including fuel cells - to run more efficiently, researchers say.

These are currently used to power hydrogen busses and cars and could be used to power whole cities in the future.
