Water is an Atmospheric constituent (a Greenhouse gas) , and a universal Solvent, occuring as Water Vapor in Air, Rainwater on the Land, and Seawater in the Oceans. Pure Water may be produced from these sources by Reverse Osmosis, Distillation (evaporation and condensation) or Electrocatalysis.

Water, and other volatile and metallic Nutrients, were delivered to the surface of the Planet Earth, by large numbers of comets and asteriods, and is responsible for all of the Lifeforms on this Planet, including and especially, Me. However, those same comets and asteroids are also quite capable of vaporizing you, but more particularly, Me, and thus, it is vitally important that we Detect and Track those Near Earth Objects, and then Deflect them, well before they arrive.

Hydrogen reacts with Oxygen to form Water, and are thus Elements vital to all Living Systems.

Hydrogen forms both Hydroxides with the alkali metals, and Complex Acids with the main group Elements, which then combine to form the Nutrients crucial to all Lifeforms on the Planet Earth.

Humans breathe in Oxygen, and react it with Sugars and Carbohydrates, to produce Energy Conversion and Carbon Dioxide, in the process of respiration, and Plants absorb the Carbon Dioxide, along with Optical Photons, producing Oxygen, Carbohydrates and Sugars, in the (obviously oversimplified) process of transpiration, which obviously involves Water, Electrons and Optical Photons (Light).

Carbon Dioxide produced in this manner is eventually absorbed by the Oceans, and precipitated out in the form of sedimentary Calcium Carbonate (Limestone) plateaus, such as in the Bahamas. However, Humanity is currently pumping more Carbon Dioxide into the Atmosphere, than the Oceans can absorb, via inefficient methods of Hydrocarbon Combustion for Energy Production, thus, we are creating Global Warming and Global Sea Level Rise through Greenhouse Effects, in addition to defoliating and badly polluting the Planet Earth, and slowly, but surely, exterminating all of the Lifeforms that inhabit it. You can't expect me to stand by and witness one of the greatest mass extinctions of modern times, and say Nothing, can you?

Oxygen is also consumed, and Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor and Heat are also produced, by Hydrocarbon Combustion, along with many other noxious and poisonous exhaust gas products and toxic waste.

Calvin and Hobbes

Hydrocarbons and Hydrocarbon Combustion, are widely exploited by total idiots, and the inevitable results are Environmental Pollution, Ecological Degradation, Global Warming, Global Sea Level Rise, and the inevitable use of herbicides, pesticides, explosives, landmines, bullets, bombs, and the inevitable resulting War, Death and Extinction.

The use of these Hydrocarbons, in the form of Hydrocarbon Fossil Fuel Deposits, as a primary fuel source in infernal combustion engines, is the primary antagonist to Biological Systems here on the Planet Earth, and their continued use as our primary Energy Conversion Source, is the most important Unsolved Problem now facing Civilization, Humanity and Life on Earth.

Carbon also has a rich and diversified organic chemistry, which is widely exploited by total idiots, often with disasterous results. In particular, Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, herbicides, pesticides, etc.

Chlorinated Hydrocarbons (PCBs, Chlordane, etc.) are some of the most toxic and widespread pollutants in the environment, and represent a serious health problem, that still remains to be Solved.

However, these same Hydrocarbon deposits also bring us Energy, and modern plastics, which are, in theory, nearly perfectly recyclable, and an excellent way to store those Hydrocarbon resources.

Methane - CH4 Propane - C3H8

On the other hand, Hydrogen is an ideal Chemical Fuel, Oxidizing directly into Water, with no harmful emissions, and then Electrolyzing, (or alternatively, Photolyzing) directly back into Hydrogen and Oxygen, which also obviously involves Water, Electrons and Optical Photons (Light).

Water is an Atmospheric constituent, and a universal Solvent, occuring as Water Vapor in Air, Rainwater on the Land, and Seawater in the Oceans. Pure Water may be produced from these sources by Reverse Osmosis, Distillation (evaporation and condensation) or Electrocatalysis.

The development of Solar, Wind and Water derived Hydrogen, as our primary Energy Conversion Source here on the Planet Earth, as an eventual replacement for fossil derived Hydrocarbon Fuels, is now considered to be the most challenging Scientific and Technical problem confronting Humanity.

This Website is my offering of some Solutions to this extremely difficult and challenging Problem.

It has recently has been deduced, that self doped, Octahedrally coordinated, Bismuth (I) Iodide complexes would be metallic, and thus possibly superconducting, demonstrating the Electronic Bose-Einstein Condensation of Bipolarons, i.e. - Bipolaronic Superconductivity.

The Bismuth - Iodide System

The calculated low lying Electronic states of the Bismuth (I) Iodide molecule, compared with the Optical and Near Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of the Bismuth (I) Iodide molecule, reveals that there are indeed two bound singlet excited states, at 2.9 eV and 3.1 eV, the 0+(III) and 0+(IV) states, respectively, which actually do span the enthalpy of dissociation of Water, at 2.97 eV, and even more remarkably, the equilibrium bond lengths of these two states are 2.9 Å and 3.1 Å, respectively. This opens up the possibility of Phonon driven transitions between these two Electronic states, to mediate, and then ultimately stabilize, the condensed and superconducting Bismuth (I) Iodide state.

Nitrogen sits at the opposite extreme of the Group V column. Whereas Bismuth is clearly a metal, Nitrogen is clearly an insulator, and also forms a unique Hydride, Ammonia, NH3. Theoretical relationships have been found between metal Ammonia solutions and Bismuth (I) Iodide solutions, and a Boson - Fermion Model of the Metal - Insulator Transition has since been developed.

Alkali metals also have the unique property of being soluble in Ammonia solutions, which display interesting and dramatic Metal - Insulator Transitions, which offer many, but as yet undeveloped, technological applications, including High Temperature Superconductivity. While alkali metals themselves are not superconducting, expanded and intercalated alkali metals very often do display superconducting properties.

The Sodium - Ammonia System

Oxygenated alkali metal Ammonia solutions, and Oxygen and Iodine doped Hydrocarbon polymers are also known to be highly unusual High Current conductors.

Alkali Halide salts also have the unusual property of forming Optically Active Color Centers (f-centers, defects states, etc.), when doped with excess ions or defects.
