One-line solution summary.

A graphene cartridge that filters hydrogen protons out of thin air to create free green clean electricity

Elevator pitch

What is your solution?

Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and an exceptionally clean fuel source. While it is making its way into the fuel cells of electric cars, busses and heavy equipment, its widespread use is hampered by the expensive gas-separation process required to produce pure hydrogen.This filter will filter and produce 99.99% pure hydrogen. This will eliminate the need of storing hydrogen in liquid form in a tank and the need to refill The only waste produced is the purest form of H20 The Hydrogen Cartridge Filter then transfers the pure hydrogen to the fuel cell stack which then stores the electricity produced in the battery. This technology helps us to create energy at demand. The best feature of this technology is that it is extremely reliable and future proof. The mechanism doesn’t require any maintenance regularly though the graphene filter may need to be changed every few years or so. The beauty of graphene is that it can allow protons or positively charged hydrogen atoms to pass through it easily, its 200 times stronger than steel and impermeable to gasses and liquids.

What specific problem are you trying to solve?

We are trying to solve the problem of energy crisis, as coal and petroleum reserves deplete we run out of time and as already proved the current state of the renewable sector is not good. We are trying to give the world a solution to all its problems: Global Warming, Pollution and Climate Change
