Clean Green Fuel Technology
U.S. Patent Application No. 20120318660
The world’s supply of fossil fuels has been dwindling for decades now. This has spurred the development of alternative fuels around the world, such as hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is a non-toxic alternative fuel that has a higher fuel efficiency than gasoline that can be produced through chemical means, biological means and through the electrolysis of water.
However, none of these means can produce hydrogen spontaneously, continuously and in a cost-effective manner.This patent application, filed by Jackson State University in December 2011 with the USPTO, protects a cost-effective method of producing hydrogen gas through a light-based reactive process between aluminum, sodium hydroxide, acetic acid and another metal such as iron, copper or tin. By utilizing some of Earth’s most common metals, like iron and aluminum, this process is much cheaper than previous methods using gallium or metal alloys.A review of the file history shows that the patent claims were rejected by the patent examiner in a non-final action on September 12, 2013. Attorneys for Jackson State filed a response on January 13, 2014, and the case remains pending. Rejections are a common part of the patent acquisition process, so it is too early to tell whether a patent will issue.
