CO2 captured in solution while making electricity
M.T. Keshe claims to have come up with a method for
generating electricity through the capture of CO2 and methane gases while converting them into solution and solid.
"In this system, one cleans up the environment while creating energy."

Late on the evening of Dec. 18, 2009, I interviewed Mehran Tavakoli
(MT) Keshe, of the Keshe foundation, located in Belgium. It was early in
the morning for him. He had contacted me the day prior to see if I was
interested in breaking a story.
You may recall that I interviewed him last July about a technology that
allegedly both counters the effects of gravity while also generating electricity.
He described his system as potentially enabling super fast and cheap travel, as well as what could be the next generation of commercial space travel. Not long thereafter, he was invited to be a guest speaker at the Space, Propulsion & Energy Sciences International Forum
(SPECIF) that will be held at John Hopkins University next
February 23
(3:30 pm). He claims to have demonstrated this effect in Iran, the land of
his birth, where he says reception to his technologies has been warm.
Well now he's got yet another eyebrow-raising announcement. He says that he has come up with a way to convert CO2 and Methane into solution and solid, while generating electricity, all in a small, inexpensive
device, at room temperature. And the precipitate is said to be non-toxic --
harmless to the environment.
In this case, CO2 acts as a fuel in a water solution, using background infrared
as a catalyst, available 24/7, to bring the CO2 into solution where it
precipitates into the bottom of the container -- all while generating
electricity. It is a solid state system with no moving parts. The
only maintenance would be to periodically remove the precipitate. He says
the CO2 slurry is safe to dump on the ground where it turns into a gel, and
could even be beneficial to plants. He said his associates have done this.
He said one prototype has been running three small diode lights (each at 2 V,
0.8 mA) for 9 days now; and another similar prototype has been running one such
light for 28 days continuously. But the set-up that most captures the
imagination, especially this time of year, is his claim to be powering the
lights on his Christmas tree with this technology, which would take around 25
watts.
He envisions that once developed, a unit the size of a briefcase, and costing
just a few hundred dollars, could power a house -- from CO2 -- with no moving
parts. And the jostling around of the cell in the back of a car would make
it work even better, he predicts.
Keshe said his Foundation developed this technology as a back-up power system
for his propulsion system mentioned above.
"One of the most surprising things about this is how simple it is,"
says Keshe. It is so simple, he alleges, that even the most poor places on
the planet could build one. If open sourced, the energy problems and
excess CO2 problems could rapidly be resolved.
"According to [some in the] scientific community, this is as important [a] discovery as when electricity was discovered."
This all sounds fantastic -- if it is real. That's the big question.
There is no shortage of imagination and good intentions when talking to Keshe.
One has to wonder, after looking into the myriad of claims and checking Keshe's
history, that there may be more dream than reality in his visions. Just
how real and practical this particular technology actually is remains to be
seen.
He says that the process has been tested and confirmed by a university in
Belgium, as well as by the Norwegian hobbyist magazine, Elektor,
who he says will be publishing their results in an article titled "Just add
water." He said they replicated the technology and ran a cooling fan of
5 volts at 125 milliamps for a little over a minute.
He said the university measured CO2 in the solution sample he gave them.
They performed infrared, Raman spectroscopy and XRD, "confirming the extraction material to be CO2 in solution.
They also tested its solid matter residual."
Today they are supposed to be posting a paper on their website, http://KesheFoundation.com,
describing the tests and their results. "In the paper, all spectroscopes and the materials will be shown; and in the coming days we will post on our
YouTube channel the showing of the liquid and solid CO2 and methane in open
cups as liquid and dray powder and all details and the lights."
Two patents have been filed.
Keshe says the development is based on existing principles of science just
applied in a new way. In particular, he cites an article published by the
U.S. Department of Energy titled Carbon
Dioxide (Reduction).
"We are in negotiation with European government on their invitation to start the development of our systems in Europe in the coming month."
He welcomes any serious party to stop in and see the technology in operation for
themselves. We at PES and the New Energy Congress would be anxious to have
someone we know and trust stop in for a visit. We were hoping for that to
have been done in time for the publication of this story, but heavy skepticism
about the claim prevented the potential persons from making the trip.
