HYDROGEN ECONOMY....

Hydrogen the most abundant element in the Universe, if you could find an efficient way to 

extract it out of water, economies all across the world would benefit.

1 =Hydrogen water bonds

Many people in many countries are experimenting as you read this page.

They are not exclusively main stream scientists, some are ordinary, science
interested people, but not with qualifications or degrees.

Amateurs have no preconceptions, they are not hindered by fixed ideals, so 

maybe they will stumble upon ( as do many main stream scientists ),
 new outside the box ideas. 

several methods are used to break the Hydrogen/Oxygen bonds.

Electrolysis is a good method, but...... it uses a lot of energy to break the covalent

bonds of Hydrogen H2 and Oxygen O.

 Even our DNA have bonds that use Hydrogen

A typical setup for extracting Hydrogen and Oxygen, the operating voltage should be around 1.2 volts DC. If you recombine the Oxygen with the Hydrogen you will have
a VERY volatile mixture, that is more explosive than Hydrogen alone. It can be used
in a car ( I don't endorse use in a automobile) either directly into cylinders or to fuel a fuel cell. This combined mixture is called "browns gas", in this form it should NEVER be
stored under pressure, as autoignition occurs at about 570 °C (1065 °F).

I do have a plan in the future to assist the Fuel consumption in my own car ( not on the Road )
but it can not be used in cars with computer controlled engines. Or EMS (Engine management systems). My car is very old and does not even have a exhaust catalyzer, so
It will not effect the set air/petrol mixture entering the engine.
My design is based on an multi stainless steel / Electrolytic cell, with a PWM (pulse width modulator) to drive it. See My assembled unit below. But not yet wired or tested.

I will post any test results I gain in a future post.

In the news recently is a new method of producing Hydrogen, without using Sun light/electricity or chemical additives. It would make it
more efficient (Maybe?)than current methods. It uses spherical silicon particles
in water to produce Hydrogen, the silicon is only 10 nanometers in diameter!, a human hair is approx 90,000  nanometers wide so
10 nanometers must be smoke particle size, so its going to take a fare amount of
energy to make silicon spherical's that small, but if you could produce enough
Hydrogen to self loop the process of making the spherical silicon particles, with
energy in reserve then it would be a top technology. Original story from; http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130122143224.htm
So get inventing solve this problem, solve world energy needs.

ART & SCIENCE WHAT CONNECTION?

The Title of this Blog "Art Enginuity", the Enginuity came from the Iron Bridge gorge museum, http://www.ironbridge.org.uk/our-attractions/enginuity/ I was told about the 

Enginuity museum by a friend, i have yet to visit, but the title fitted

my Blog title exactly. It also fits the description of a lot of Artists, past and

present. Leonardo Da Vinci is one of those Artists, his ingenuity and his

Enginuity are a common thread running through his work.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_inventions_of_Leonardo_da_Vinci 

Leonardo was Artist, Scientist, Mathematician, Engineer.

Even the way he constructed his works of Art, he used all his knowledge 

of Science and Engineering, to create fine historic works of Art.

Here is one of his many drawings, which clearly show his association

with science and invention.

His study of light and shade on a sphere

Look closely at Leonardo's drawing, he clearly used  Mathematical

calculations to work out angles and graduation of shadow.

So this is just one connection of science used in Art, and the construction

of tone and shade in relation to Illuminated objects, giving a three dimensional

look to drawings or paintings and ultimately realism.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Johannes Vermeer another fine Artist to possibly incorporate optical
Science, to aid his understanding of light and perspective.
Although there are only  hints to Vermeer's use of
a optical devise called a "Camera Obscura", there is no definitive
evidence he actually use the lens to aid his work.

Even so the Camera Obscura has and will no doubt still, be a useful
aid to perspective. I suppose the modern day equivalent would be
a digital projector ( still using a lens ) to project an Image
onto a surface, but unlike the Camera Obscura, the digital Image
would have the advantage of projecting an Image, the
 right way up and left & right correct.
No lens yet invented can be truly optically correct, it's just not
possible yet, but there is a ray of hope recently in "ePHOTOzine"
http://www.ephotozine.com/article/ultra-thin-lens-could-change-camera-designs-19984

My brother is fully aware of the limitations of his lens kit, he often
has to correct his Images in post production, to get rid of lens
distortion, fortunately his lenses are all able to be corrected
via software, some of his Images Here.
It may well be one day soon, he will be able to pick up a lens with
no optical distortion, the problem will be the Bank loan to pay for it.

I leave you with this quote from John Constable;

   "Painting is a science and should be pursued as an inquiry into the laws of nature. Why, then, may not a landscape be considered as a branch of natural philosophy, of which pictures are but experiments?"
