Throughout this nation’s history, it has been the inventive mind that has developed the ground-breaking technology that has taken us from the dunes at Kitty Hawk to the moon and beyond. While many high-tech discoveries are made in commercial laboratories or through research at major universities nationwide; some of the most amazing discoveries have been made in small, one-man shops where tinkering is more than a pastime; it is a passion.

During the early 19th century, such notable minds as Michael Faraday, André-Marie Ampère, and Hans Christian Ørsted were making impressive discoveries related to the laws of electricity and magnetism. Some 20 years later, an English theoretical physicist and mathematician named James Clerk Maxwell took the existing knowledge from this field of experimentation and expressed it into the four fundamental equations known as Maxwell’s equations. At the time no one grasped the importance of his work. However, Maxwell’s equations have made an extraordinary impact upon our lives today. Through Maxwell’s equations we enjoy the benefits of electric generators, motors, the telegraph, the telephone, radio, TV and many more of what we consider essential items for daily lives.
A listing of similar individual achievements would be far too extensive to illustrate and therein lies the hope of this nation’s future. While many huge corporations and the government are pouring billions of dollars into the search for alternative fuels and energy, it may well be a lone individual tinkering on a workbench in the corner of a small garage that develops the next ground-breaking leap forward.
Many experts are focusing their efforts to develop the next sustainable fuel source by separating hydrogen from water, the most plentiful source on the planet. One possible solution to separating the H from the O in H2O is the Joe Cell, a device that has a vocal cadre of both supporters and detractors. While the concept is generally known, the exact formula has not been perfected; so many people are trying their hand at fine tuning the concept of using electrically charged stainless steel plates submerged in water to stimulate the separation and capture of the hydrogen gas. The person who discovers the perfect combination of plate size, proximity and electrical charge will have the world beating a path to their door, if it is indeed an achievable process. Fortunately inventors are not prone to listening to their detractors and the spirit of Orville and Wilbur Wright lives on in the hearts of many.
A quick search of the Internet will produce many testimonies from believers in the system, as well as various takes on the best way to make a cell. Many have videos demonstrating their cells in use, but none have proven viable enough to be accepted as the ultimate solution, so the door is still open. All you need is some stainless steel (preferred because of the corrosive nature of some water with high-mineral content) , a workbench and an inventive mind.
Quickshipmetals.com is pleased to sell products to some of the industry’s leading companies in the field of solar power and alternative fuel research. QSM has all the stainless steel you’ll need for even the most elaborate concept, and they’ll cut it to size so you don’t have to waste time with that part of a project. We’re happy to assist with the next green fuel solution, just call us at 1-888-334-2177.
I wish I could write like you. Margaret Laurence once said “When I say “work” I only mean writing. Everything else is just odd jobs.”
