Set Policies for Adoption of HoD for Space Flight, Ground and Air

 - Jake - 04-18-2023

HoD (Hydrogen on Demand) is a form of Hydrogen made from water by splitting it in to HHO, known as Brown's Gas.  Brown's Gas is the better option for us, especially when we regard the fact that we are heading to space anyway.  Water is a very dense fuel, it cannot be compressed any more than it already is, and it comes with its own supply of oxygen.  Also, HoD is relatively safe, with only small amounts of explosive gas being made as it is needed for propulsion.

HoD comes with Oxygen, so it can be used in space, as well as in the atmosphere.  HoD can also be used for future road vehicles as well.  HoD is the obvious choice for a top-down, unified fuel for the road, the air and space.  Having a vehicle that can drive on a road, take to the air and then go into orbit would be the ideal solution for future locomotion.  The fact that that fuel will be water will be even better.  Furthermore, systems on these vehicles during certain applications can be used indirectly, where the combustion is used to turn a generator for electric propulsion systems.  Because the exhaust is just water, condensation systems can be used to reuptake a larger percentage of the water back into the fuel tanks, which makes for super-long ranges.  In space, especially in the propulsion needed to get into orbit, more fuel is expended by direct propulsion, but then things like ion engines can be used in space as well with the same technique.  There are also unique forms of high-speed atmospheric engines that can be used to achieve spaceflight...there is the ramjet engine, then the scramjet, and the pulse detonation engine (PDE)...then there are new technologies such as plasma magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) which can create huge amounts of electrical energy from superheated gas explosions.  Turbine/ramjet engines such as those found on the SR-71 Blackbird might be adapted to for use with MHD's and other novel systems surrounding PDE's and hypersonics in order to achieve the speeds necessary to escape the Earth's gravity.  Coming back down will also be a challenge, and new research into metamaterials will be key to lightweight reusable, robust systems. 

Spaceflight is expensive, so engineering our government to be as slim and fit as possible will make alot of difference above.  The better systems we have, the more stuff we can put in space.  Using MHD systems with huge sono-electric meyers circuits for giant HoD rockets could turn an olympic swimming pool worth of salt water into pure rocket fuel for a fraction of a fraction of the cost of rocket fuel these days...the most expensive part might be just having to wait for filtration systems to get all the seaweed out.  With those types of systems being reusable, sending large amounts of stuff into space on the daily will be possible.  Large, rotating artificial gravity space stations will be the next era of life and vacation, with the moon the next obvious frontier.  The next step will of course be engineering metamaterials to be able to generate forcefields, much like solid lubricants do now, in order to mitigate high-speed impacts of stray space debris...with so much going up into space, space debris will be a critical issue...shields will likely be needed anyway for any aliens we might encounter, though but seriously will be necessary simply from a health perspective anyway, cosmic radiation is killer and long-term life in space is basically impossible without systems that can block all of the radiation...sure, alot of lead can do the trick, but that is just not feasible with all that weight.  Anyway, that is the next chapter, for now though, we should just be focusing on systems that are forward compatible which will reduce our overall weight, logically or otherwise, in the same way that a new measurement standard will (more on that in another article).
