We'ce all heard of, molten salt reactors.
Yet... energy in put is needed - fuel heat - and once the salts are molten, less energy is needed due to retention of heat in the salts. Heat from molten salts steams water and steam turns turbine to create electricty - if not for the turbines ability to amplify the amount of energy created vs used to heat salt, the idea would be null and void, but since more energy can be created in the outcome, it's still a valid energy plan.
There's another version in which i mentioned in previous post,
involving carbonc acids in water - sponging the elctrons.
Ironicaly... MGX's magnesium and calcium carbonates have the - co2 already baked into the
mineral constructs.
Which questions...
If one can sponge electricty ( electrons ) from carbonic acid water - and see success, then...
How much more electrons could be sponged if, calcium and magneisum were used with
carbonic acid already in thier molecular construct ?
Better yet... why not convert the - dolomite - containing calcium and magnesium ( even minor impurities ) convert al lto - chloride -
Each are now converted to a chloride salt - a multi salt electrolyte - they don't have to be compatable like a battery - because your only interest is... sponging thier electrons.
I would say... it's far better than just using water + carbonic acid.
The formula would be ( indiced ) with all the more electrons from, Mg, + Ca + Co2.
The additonal minerals would offer al lthe more electrons.
Adding a flow system...
simple pump and air injection... allows for replenishement of, more electron bonding for the minerlas in which allows the system to generate electrons continuously.
HOW TO SPONGE THE ELECTRONS.. OR, HYDROGEN.
Ones desgined to make electricity - while the other format - makes hydrogen. PEMFCs generate electricity and operate on the opposite principle to
PEM electrolysis, which consumes electricity. They are a leading candidate to replace the aging
alkaline fuel-cell technology, which was used in the
Space Shuttle.

MOLTEN CARBONATE FUEL CELLS
Molten-carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are high-temperature fuel cells that operate at temperatures of 600 °C and above.
Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) were developed for
natural gas,
biogas (produced as a result of
anaerobic digestion or
biomass gasification), and
coal-
based power plants for
electrical utility, industrial, and
military applications. MCFCs are high-temperature fuel cells that use an
electrolyte composed of a molten carbonate salt mixture suspended in a porous, chemically inert ceramic matrix of
beta-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE). Since they operate at extremely high temperatures of 650 °C (roughly 1,200 °F) and above, non-precious
[dubious – discuss] metals can be used as
catalysts at the
anode and
cathode, reducing costs.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE ?
One needs.... only acids and room temp with flow pump - using mutiple carbonate
salts and chloride - with a replenishment electrons from air -
while the other - molten - requires considerable heat to keep the " salts in molten phase " and the other nasty is... due to the high caustic nature of corrsoice salts - the anode and cathodes would see significant damage.
HENCE - the chloride conversion of - magnesium and calcium carbonates to chlorides - capturing intitial co2 - and sponging electrons would be far simpler, faster, cheaper.
I mentioned the use of chloride - but.. .a sulphide acid could be better.
Here's a second take on my former post - refresher -
As the pH of the solution gets higher, the bicarbonate becomes a simple carbonate and the higher the CO2 pressure, the greater the increase of ions in the solution. In their experiment, they found that as they flushed their aqueous electrolyte with air, and alternately with CO2, between their porous electrodes, a supply of electricity began to build up. Since the air that comes from the chimneys of fossil fuel-burning power stations contains anything up to 20% of CO2, even the emissions represent a potential for more power. They found they could get even more power if instead of a water solution they used an electrolyte of monoethanolamine. In experiments, this delivered an energy density of 4.5 mW a square metre. https://stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard?symbol=c.xmg&postid=35035550
Again... they were only using - co2 in water...
Such a format limits the electrons in which one can sponge.
Adding in... calcium and magnesium or, entire ores... and converting to chloride or sulphide,
would in theory - allow for all the more - electron sponging - this involves the milecular structures of each molecule - EG - magnesium have a 2 charge - vs - lithium 1 charge.
a 2 charge value harbors 2x the electrons. Now... apply the co2 vs a salt solution....
Yeah... .more electrons to sponge.
Speed... allows for faster sponging.
Which is where the flwo pump comes on scene.
Air - replenishments of electrons.
Molecules that render an electron need to quickly replace thier structure - adding air, allows the
molecules to do so.
IDEA IS SIMILAR TO - hybrid air battery - using multiple salts.
averting the purchasing a a highly refined metal or other....
This potential format could be a potentially good model for a junior whose with a resource, and is limited on - power - thus.. cancelling the negative and making a positve - make own power.
would be interesting to see....
1 tonne of calcium and magnesium acid formula would offer up in, electrons, on own, vs, flow pump, vs adding add... could the formula run indefinitely if continually fed air for replenishment ?
Would love ot see a pilot test.
Modelled correctly -
One could devise small scaled units that deliver electricity and hydrogen uding both PEM and other formats to small communities.
Why would this be better ?
Ha.
In my opinion.... B.C. is seeing - drought - and unusual water problems.
Springtime Fraser flooding to now...
interior streams drying up and salmon fisheries dying off.
To.. larger river systems, at all time lows.
A hydro monopoly with U.S. playing volley witrh green energy to fossil energy - swapping.
To dismissing the potential consequences of - would B.C. have a hydro generation problem
in the near future if... warer levels continue to decline ?
If we pll forward California... sinilar conditions are happening.
River tributaries are seeing unusual low levels...
It's like the water is no longer at the levels it use to be.
I predict... if other energy models don't come online soon... such as alternative electrical models, as mentioned above... B.C. could be in a dire situation.
And... all the more dependent on, Alberta.
These are the subjects one brings up with First Nations...
If i were owner of the junior, i'd be sitting down and asking... how's the present Gov't handling the energy issues ? Are they to oone sided with hydrogen and inking contracts overseas ?
Or... should they be looking at thier own backyard - planning to ensure electricity supply is at top end... and not compromising the usage in it's own Province selling too muchot the states.
B.C. is dependent upon water for -
hydro dams -
the best they can do is.. ask citizens t ouse less water...
See where thisis headed ?
Like i suggested...
California 2.0 ( new rules on steriods ) and costs rise exponentially.
It could change...
that is.., by adopting alternative energy schemes.
Such as the ones mentioned above.
Micro gird style.. that service smaller communities is wherre it's at.
Just like agricutural -
Seems the big agri or power - has now created several issues for mankind.
Micro planning food and energies - is by far.. .all the more effcient.

https://www.aldergrovestar.com/news/drought-prompts-request-for-metro-vancouver-residents-to-take-shorter-showers/ So... to close this post...
I ask.... how's the planning on infastructure and energies going in B.C. ?
Are ya happy ?
Or.. .is there room for change ?
