Update

MIT last year announced that a technology developed by Nocera’s lab– a catalyst that can split water–could be used store solar energy. Earlier this year, Nocera formed a company called Sun Catalytix, backed by venture capital firm Polaris Ventures, to commercialize that discovery.

Billions of people in countries of Africa or in India use little energy today but that is changing rapidly. So even if richer countries use energy efficiency, the world’s energy needs will continue explode in the coming decades, making cheap, distributed energy essential, he said.

Now thats a first step to an affordable water solar battery.

aloha John, you're right. although folks are having varying levels of
success with hydrogen power in general the folks at MIT seem to be onto
something new with these solar collection/storage devices. A search at
youtube for water for fuel also turns up some interesting videos. thanks for
the addition...

I'm no scientist, but I'm sure I remember watching a program in the UK in about 1995 of a man who had created a car to run off hydrogen from water and I think he was doing the same thing. Just Googled it and it seems you can download it:

Aloha John, we completely agree. It seems there's no money is energy problems that are solved. Perhaps there's more money is energy problems rather than solutions? This is an amazing discovery as are many others…

This discovery is certainly an important one. It is sad that there is no mention of it in the media. I wonder why. As mentioned in the write up this dicovery or invention could be the reuseable energy source mankind has been looking for. Several years ago I realized photosynthesis is the answer and thought if we could synthesis the firt stage of it we have endless source of energy. The product that result for you process, hydrogen, is a very good source and easy to store. Please let me know why there is not any mention of this in the media.
Thanks
