>Solar energy. We know the hardest thing with enery is how to store it, so since solar output is at it's peak during the day when demand is low and vice versa demand is high during night when no sun is up, why don't they use the exeeding electricity during the day to divide hydrogen and oxygen from water, store hydrogen and burn it back into water during night to produce energy?
Same quantity of oxygen is produced when extracting hydr. than you need to burn it back into water No CO2 emission Ofc no 100% efficiency but is still better than expensive big ass lithium battery in each house
Ps if someone gets rich because of me imma an hero

we are retards who only shitpost about loonix and various graphics cards better ask /sci/

Hydrogen is dangerous to store maybe?
Jayden Bell
could you really produce enough energy via solar to efficiently split molecules
Ayden Rodriguez
>inb4 some retard says solar just isn't efficient enough Solar technologies get more advanced every year!
Josiah Phillips
because it is ridiculously inefficient.
stay in school

>implying other flammable gasses are easy to store

Nigga they filled a tank with 40 bars of hydrogen with 2 40W panels on youtube
You can split water with your car's battery, that aint fast but you can do it
Jaxson Rivera
for a start, peak electrical usage is during the day, assuming we go with renewable energy as a primary source we only need a few power/wind plants at night to sustain off-peak usage
secondly, industrial storage of energy isn't batteries, they pump water up hill into vast reservoirs which while not the most efficient thing in the world, it literally only needs somebody to pull a plug before you get massive controllable power generation
the primary issue with solar is that it's not a good suit for main grid generation because transporting energy is harder than storing it and if you build massive solar farms say in the middle of a desert like arizona verus on top of every bodies house in europe you now have massive infrastructural problems of getting that power to where people need it
but of course the biggest thing for solar is that it'll supply the demand when the demand is needed allowing us to massively scale down polluting power plants like coal and natural gas
Sebastian Hall
Tell me how dumbass You're litterally using the electricity produced in exess during the day, otherwise wasted
Get back to your "specs thread" faggot
Charles Reyes
Peak is during night Maybe industrial peak is during day yes, but night means street lights, house lights, tvs and everything
Also you can do the water thing if you have a mountain and a biss ass mass of water near you They punp water back up in dyke
Joshua Robinson
Solar water heaters are a thing
Aiden Williams
Not him but the peak is during the day, this is the reason why energy cost less during the night.
Peak is absolutely during the day. Industry uses over 40% of the total power in the world, while residential is under 30%. Commercial and public services use around 25% and except for street lights they are mostly only open during the day.
