Re: Another source of hydrogen
From: Robert Elton Maas <REM at MIT-MC>
I don't understand your message at all. The solar wind is mostly
hydrogen, both atomic and ionized (protons and electrons). All I
suggested was that we harvest the protons (and to keep things
balanced, an equal number of electrons). The protons are attracted to
the negative electrode, where they lose their charge and remain
embedded in the surface of the electrode. Where did you get the idea I
was fissioning nuclii? I'm merely using solar UV to ionize hydrogen
molecules (it happens already) and harvesting the resultant free
protons (new).
