A new version of plant ability?

August 17, 2008 · Print This Article


Scientists have considered wave ability, tide potential, wind potential, solar capability, coal potential and clown capability (the capability of a smile, you know) why not additionally consider gravity ability? Gravity does play a role in all of these phenomenon. So I’m waiting for the day when my car, clock radio and cell phone are gravity powered.

Today, however, assured scientists are looking at faux-photosynthesis. Daniel Nocera, a chemist at MIT, is looking at using solar potential to split water molecules.

Hydrogen capability

has towering been an appealing source of capability, but splitting hydrogen is a pain in my cousin’s brother’s elbow.

The atoms would next be stored in fuel cells and used for electricity. Nocera told McClatchy News Service that the process “at least opens a door for the large-scale deployment of solar, considering we have an easy way . . . to store that energy.”

He talks about it in that video.
