Australian Startup Claims it Can Cut Cost Electrolisys by a Third
The news is a little thin on technical details. Plasma electrolysis?
From Rechargenews:
Understandably, HSA is keeping the details of its technology close to its chest, but executive director Brian Power tells Recharge that it works by using electrical power inside a plasma chamber at certain frequencies that elicit favourable responses from the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water — a process that he says requires much less power than standard PEM or alkaline electrolysers.
“We’re letting the frequencies do all the work, whereas [a standard electrolyser] lets the electricity do all the work,” he says.
