Sentences with phrase «generate oxygen gas»

Not exact matches

Now a report in the 26 January Physical Review Letters suggests that searing hot temperatures generated inside the bubbles drive out nitrogen and oxygen, leaving behind a stunning light show produced by the trace gas argon.

The cloud consists of ionized gas, or plasma, and contains the elements hydrogen, helium, and oxygen, along with heavier elements that were generated during the blast itself.

The investigators designed and built two prototype systems: in one the NO generator is a separate «offline» system continually generating gas that is delivered into a ventilation system via tubing; the second «inline» system is incorporated into the ventilation system in a way that synchronizes the generation of NO during inhalation with the pulsed delivery of oxygen and other gases to be inhaled, reducing the NO that would be lost during exhalation.

The surface waters of the world's oceans are supersaturated with the greenhouse gas methane, yet most species of microbes that can generate the gas can't survive in oxygen - rich surface waters.

But such solid - oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can efficiently combine everyday fossil - fuel natural gas with oxygen from the air — without burning — to generate electricity on a small scale.

Here you can crank a handle to generate electricity to electrolyse water into hydrogen and oxygen (and recombine them with a bang), operate a miniature chemical plant or a gas scrubber, measure the pH of various common substances, or discover your personal hot spots by lying against a large sheet of liquid crystals.

It will focus on catalyst development for four applications: proton exchange membrane fuel cells to convert stored energy in non-fossil fuels into electricity; electrolysers for splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen — a potential clean fuel cell source; syngas, a mixture of CO and H2, which is generated from coal, gas and biomass, and widely used as a key intermediate in the chemical industry; and lithium - air batteries.

Argonne's process delivers a gas that is close to pipeline quality (greater than 90 percent methane) and generates fertilizer grade byproducts as the byproduct of anaerobic digestion (a series of biological processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen).

When these organic materials are buried under piles of garbage deep within a landfill, they decompose anaerobically (without oxygen) and generate methane — a harmful greenhouse gas.

As it decomposes under piles of waste with no access to sunlight or oxygen, it decomposes anaerobically — a process that inevitably generates methane, a greenhouse gas that according to Science Daily, «is roughly 30 times as potent as a heat - trapping gas [compared to carbon dioxide].»

But the combined zero oxygen environment filled with a deadly gas generates zones of near absolute death in which few things but microbes and jellyfish can live.

The world's climate is way too complex... with way too many significant global and regional variables (e.g., solar, volcanic and geologic activity, variations in the strength and path of the jet stream and major ocean currents, the seasons created by the tilt of the earth, and the concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere, which by the way is many times more effective at holding heat near the surface of the earth than is carbon dioxide, a non-toxic, trace gas that all plant life must have to survive, and that produce the oxygen that WE need to survive) to consider for any so - called climate model to generate a reliable and reproducible predictive model.

The best way to do this, in my opinion, is using a fuel cell — a device that can electrochemically convert natural gas into a useable fuel by stripping off the hydrogen portion of the methane molecule and combining it with oxygen to generate clean electricity and some waste heat.

The natural gas could be burned in oxygen to generate electricity, and create a stream of CO2 and water vapor, and that stream could be deep injected several kilometers into the earth.
