so the ethanol is "widely used" as fuel, producing CO2, brilliant!

[CosmicCowboy]

Make a great eco-still for getting a buzz. Eco-Shine? Sunshine instead of moonshine?

Click the links and get to the original paper. Then read the last sentence of the conclusion

Another example of people who don't understand science giving a very deceiving header to an article. The important part is the novel use of catalysts, not turning CO2 to ethanol. But most people don't find the catalyst part newsworthy for the public so... embellish.

Its somewhat like your misunderstanding of GMOs all being harmful while probably having personally taken an antibiotic produced by a GMO.

Still, a super pure ethanol could be a hangover free buzz. Look how much people will pay for Vodka that has been filtered multiple times.

Golden rice? still ain't not achieving its objectives, and it probably never will.

GMO plants, foods may not be the problem (verdict not reached), but the Ms of tons BigChem poisons poured on them IS THE PROBLEM, along with enslaving farmers world-wide to BigChem, killing their self-sufficiency, independence.

I'm not impressed with the volume rate. The coulombic efficiency is great, but how do you scale such a thing up to be useful?

o's is like $40 for 1.75 liters.

This process would likely cost $40,000,000 just to produce that much an hour.

What poison was poured on the GMO bacteria that produce antibiotics for humans?

You Lump in one giant category.
And so you want to trash golden rice? It's a dead end? This is not how science works.

Jesus H. Christ this is NOT what it's about.

It's just about the fact they could get the stated atoms to catalyze a rxn at room temp.

I know. I was joking at the cost for ethanol, vs. the $40 bottle.

I'm just disappointing its so small scale. I wonder how expensive it would be to be useful.

Bottling before denaturing could be cool for the whole lab.

Party on.

Of course you do..then goes on to illustrate he hasn't the foggiest...







coloumbic efficiency....

coloumbic efficiency....

Hey, that is real. Generally applied to batteries, but indicts how much energy is stored in the process.
