Scientists studying a cousin of the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis and leprosy have discovered an enzyme that converts hydrogen into electricity, and they think it could be used to create a new, clean source of energy literally from thin air.

However:

"Huc can extract energy from hydrogen in the air, which is effectively limitless," Grinter said. "The amount of electricity that can be generated from the low concentrations of hydrogen in the air will be modest. This will limit the application of Huc in this context to devices that require a small but sustained amount of power. A complementary use of Huc would be in fuel cells where a higher concentration of hydrogen is provided."

Disregarding the techno babble, "free energy" (as in free and unlimited) is a horrible idea if implemented.
Imagine the consequences of 8 billion people able to expend gazillion gigawatt hours of power for their amusements, etc.
You'll see some REAL global warming from all that waste heat (friction, remember?).
. . .
Look at the current state of computer technology. Graphics processor chips that dwarf the huge supercomputers of the 1970s, being used to PLAY VIDEO GAMES.
HUGE databases filled with images of cats.
"Smart" phones and "Fit" watches.

Oz, Sir, we all have dreams, and arguments about those dreams. I have no real affinity for a super high tech and unlimited energy ‘future’. Until some natural booboo, like an earth burp or a sun burp, thins our gene pool enough, human ‘factors’ will always mess things up.

But your concern with “global warming” is a dream that ought to be made fun of lol, like if someone said they dreamt they were a chicken trying to find reasons to cross a road. All in good fun tho. ~8D

This is interesting, so I did some research to see what the current developments might be,... but virtually nothing since the initial news release:

https://www.monash.edu/discovery-institute/news-and-events/news/2023-articles/scientists-discover-an-enzyme-that-turns-air-into-electricity-providing-a-new-clean-source-of-energy

The current profile for one of the researchers in the article is interesting in that it mentions: "He is a CI on four major projects, ... and the ARC Research Hub for Carbon Utilization and Recycling.

That is basically trying to find good uses for the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels rather than curtailing their use.


What is the "CI"?


The "CI" in a research project stands for Chief Investigator. The Chief Investigator is the person designated to take overall responsibility for the design, conduct, and reporting of the study. ... The Chief Investigator is responsible for the day-to-day running of the research project and may be the Chief Investigator or the Principal Investigator, depending on the research's scope and the number of sites involved.


Putting 2 and 2 together, my guess is another technology breakthrough was effectively "bought out" by big oil and will never see the light of day.

Six months after the news release about electricity from the air:

https://www.arc.gov.au/news-publications/media/media-releases/arc-research-hub-help-reduce-carbon-emissions


Electricity from soil bacteria though,... hmmm,

I guess maybe we could still do this:

Can I get a research grant?
