SYSTEM OPERATION

Each lens is 1.41 inches (36 mm)in diameter and cut into 1.00 inch(25.4 mm) squares. Within the

focal plane of each lens an imageof the sun 360 microns in diameteris formed.

A MEMS device capable of movinganywhere in the image plane findsthis solar image and positions a360 micron diameter photovoltaicstack under it.

The 645 milliwatts of solar energy

is converted with 40% efficiencyinto 258 milliwatts at 2 volts and129 milliamps.

4 milliamps are used to drive aMEMS water pump and actuator totrack the sun.

The device pumps 24.4 nano-litersthrough the electrolysis unit persecond which uses both heat and

electricity from the sun to produce2.7 ug of hydrogen per second and21.7 ug of oxygen per second fromsunlight and water.

With 16,700 seconds of exposureper day each device produces 45milligrams of hydrogen and 360milligrams of oxygen from 405micro-liters of water. A panelcontaining 4,608 lenses in an array

produces 207 grams of hydrogenper day and 1.66 kg of oxygen perday from 1.87 liters of water perday. Over a year 1,000 panelscontaining 4.6 million elementsproduce 75.7 metric tons ofhydrogen along with 605.9 metrictons of oxygen from 681.6 kilolitersof DI water.

SYSTEM COST AND VALUE

The Photovoltaic driven High Temperature Electrolysis unit with sun tracker water pumpand actuator is 360 microns in diameter and 50 microns deep. It is equipped with a 10micron diameter flexible "tail# that is 30,000 microns long - and wrapped around the PV/

Electrolysis unit in an archimedes spiral that is 1,100 microns in diameter. Thus, theentire device fills a working area that is circumscribed by a hexagon with a 550 micronside. The area of this hexagon is 785,918 square microns. This is 820 devices persquare inch. To process a square inch of material in the manner required, to a depth of50 microns - costs $15 per square inch. Thus, each device is 1.83 cents.

! 4,608 devices per panel x 1.83 cents/device = $84.33 per panel!

The device consists of ten layers of PET plastic each 50 microns thick. A total thicknessof 500 microns. Total surface area of each panel is 2.975 sq meters. So, each panelrequires 1.488 liters of crystalline PET plastic which at 1.455 kg/liter totals 2.15 kg. At

$1.12 per kg total lens cost is $2.43 - for a grand total of $86.76 per panel.

1,000 panels - with molded in place header between the PET sheets, and standingtanks, cost less than $90,000 installed. Yet produce 75.7 metric tons of hydrogen from681.6 kiloliters of DI water. At $1.00 per kiloliters, this water costs $681.60 per year.

At 6.5% discount rate and a 30 year life a string of 1,000 panels costs $6,891.97 andadding in the $681.60 recurring cost, and another $2,700 for maintenance, we have atotal cost of $10,273.57 per year and a price for hydrogen of $135.71 per metric ton.Not counting the value of oxygen produced. 605.9 metric tons of oxygen valued at $200per ton by industry and medical consumers is worth $121,180 per year. Elemental

hydrogen sold at $3,000 per metric ton is worth $227,100 per year.

1,000 panels cover 3/4 of an acre and produce 75.7 metric tons - which is 101 metrictons per acre per year from 909 kiloliters of water per year at a cost of $120,000 peracre and a recurring cost of $4,508.80 per acre per year.

An initial installation of 300 acres using 400,000 panels costing $36,000,000 to buildand install and $1,352,640 per year to operate and maintain (a crew of 16 working fourshifts of 42 hours each (4 per shift) plus parts) produce 30,300 metric tons of hydrogenplus 242,200 metric tons of oxygen each year.

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION

A three year development cycle costing $21 million is needed to get into production andthen another year of site work is needed along with $36 million for system is needed toinstall 300 acres to produce this much hydrogen and oxygen.

Offering 41.4% per year rates of return compounded over the four year period,according to the following schedule;

TOTALS

After Startup the operation will pay the first $20,543,801 per year from sales ofhydrogen and oxygen over the first seven years of operations to repay a total of$143,806,609 by year ten secured by the facility when completed, and all operationsprior.

! $3,000 per metric ton of hydrogen is equal to 47.67 MJ per $1.00! This is equivalent to gasoline at $2.76 per gallon

! 30,300 metric tons per year is equivalent to 32.8 million gallons per year!

30,300 metric tons per year is equivalent to 1,945 barrels per day

This quantity of energy each year is equivalent to 28 gasoline stations. Each stationrequires 10.8 acres (4.4 ha) - with 14,500 panels in 58 strings of 250 in an area 464 ft x1,000 ft. These need not be co-located to each station.
