Those 125 to 240 mile per gallon equivalent autos can use any mixture of hydrogen fuel cells, electricity and advanced biofuels.

They've discovered a new bond, a new material for transparent solar cells.

lately, in the last couple of weeks, people have seen that there's an enzyme called hydrogenase that's able to evolve hydrogen from proton and electrons, and is able to take hydrogen up basically what's happening in a fuel cell, in the anode of a fuel cell and in a reversible fuel cell.

Lake, reservoir

A little mercury switch, 9volt battery five or six ounces of C4, that's how those cartel boys party.

and we're making great progress for this goal is to have a propulsion system based on hydrogen and fuel cells, designed and validated, that can go head to head with the internal combustion engine we're talking about obsoleting the internal combustion engine and do it in terms of its affordability, add skill volumes, its performance and its durability.

And you can do it the same, over and over again.

And we've all heard of charge.

Battery's the power source.

So something I think is very fascinating is

Phone's dead.

The battery is flat.

And computers don't go to sleep.

battery dead.

Oh, shit, man. Your battery's dead.

Now, whether we're talking about fuels or energy carriers, or perhaps novel materials for batteries or fuel cells, nature hasn't ever built those perfect materials yet because nature didn't need to.

It needs help from the high energy rays of the sun.

If people work for oneself there wouldn't be the electric light, there wouldn't be engines of power vehicles.

We call this our sushi circuit. It's very popular with kids.

My battery dead.

Crap, it's burnt out.

Roaming drains the battery. All right.

And it is no more ambitious and no more crazy for us to consider doing that today, than it was for our ancestors to consider throwing railroads across the Sierra Nevada and building huge reservoirs and waterworks to bring water and power to California.

Basically, by controlling the genes, you can control multiple materials to improve your device performance.

So we embarked upon the reinvention around an electrochemical engine, the fuel cell, hydrogen as the energy carrier.

This battery is charged.

Batteries must be running down.

Three of the four cells are gone.

You forgot the batteries?

Lithium. Like camera batteries. Odd.

The battery.

May I have some camera batteries, please?

Please give me batteries for a camera.

Typically, these things are put in the ground.

Took a few photos. I got my satellite phone out.

Imagine making all of our hard materials that way.

A nickel is a five cent coin.

The water runs downward to the pond.

Water contains hydrogen and oxygen.

With... Hydrogen?

And the battery runs on a... a chemical reaction.

So, the oxygen in water behaves as though it's negative, and the hydrogens behave as though they're positive.

It needs new batteries.

Do you sell batteries?

I hired students and post docs and mentored them.
