Special Science Seminar “Hydrogen Economy:  The Long Wait is Over” (public event)
Link: http://www.raritanval.edu/earthweek/
The hydrogen economy technology has arrived. The will to use it is another matter.  For the last 25 years, Mr. Strizki has devoted his life to the search of renewable energy generation and storage.  With the advent of cheap solar panels and worldwide acceptance of cost effective renewable energy equipment, the only missing link is the storage.  Hydrogen holds the answer.  Mr. Strizki will present a brief history of hydrogen power from the beginning to space travel to today and why it is the most important implementation in the history of man.

“What is Anguilla waiting for?” an alternative energy expert asked when he met with a group of Go Solar enthusiasts at Paradise Cove several days ago.

He is Mr Mike Strizki, of New Jersey, who also describes himself as an inventor, scientist and engineer. He heads his own company – Renewable Energy International – which is involved in solar hydrogen systems and also operates a non-profit organization called Hydrogen House Project which is in pursuit of clean and renewable solutions to help meet the world’s increasing energy demands.He was invited to Anguilla to share his knowledge and experience of alternative energy.

Noting that hydrogen fuels the sun, and that his project converts solar energy into hydrogen cells to produce clean electricity, Mr Strizki was emphatic in his presentation. “God has placed a nuclear ball in the sky called the sun, so why does Anguilla import fuel when it can turn to solar energy to meet its electricity needs?” he asked, saying that a 15- megawatt solar system can supply all the power the island needs

One of Anguilla’s Go Solar enthusiasts, who said that Mr Strizki had already introduced his project to StKitts-Nevis, Cayman Islands, Bermuda and other islands, spoke to The Anguillian about Mr Strizki’s visit to Anguilla: “He came to tell us the things that some of us already know,” the spokesman stated. “We would like the rest of the island, as well as the Legislature and the Government, to know that we have to take action now if we are going to stand a chance tomorrow. Our energy cost is too high, unsustainable and is hurting businesses and individuals.

(Hopewell, NJ)  The Hydrogen House Project will feature the Duffy Voyager Electric Speedboat at the Atlantic City Boat Show February 1-5, 2012.  The organization plans to retrofit the Voyager, donated to the project by Duffy Electric Boat Company Newport Beach, CA, to run on renewable hydrogen power. 

The boat will be outfitted with highly efficient flexible solar cells in conjunction with two micro-wind turbines to power an onboard electrolyzer, which in turn will split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen.  The hydrogen will be stored onboard the Voyager in compressed gas tanks to power a fuel cell, providing clean electricity to power the boat’s operating systems and motor. 

Sitting atop the water, the boat will perpetually refuel itself so long as the sun is shining or wind is blowing.  The organization seeks to break the world distance and speed record for an electric drive marine craft.

The Hydrogen House Project will feature other renewable hydrogen products at the Atlantic City Boat Show Exhibit, including: a fuel cell motorcycle, lawnmower, cooking stove, and the New Jersey Genesis fuel cell car.  The organization is also presenting for the first time a prototype dockside power unit capable of powering the boat’s power systems while docked, eliminating the need to run the boat to charge batteries or run power systems.  The unit is capable of backfeeding the grid while the boat is at sea and during the off-season.  It will generate Renewable Energy Credits for its owner and backup power in the event of a power failure.

“We’re holding the key to storing limitless clean energy,” says Mike Strizki, founder and Chairman of the Hydrogen House Project.  “Our goal is to demonstrate that hydrogen can power anything fossil fuels can; but unlike fossil fuels, the only byproduct from burning or converting hydrogen in a fuel cell is pure water!  This technology has the potential to help reduce pollution on our planet.”

Strizki is also owner of Renewable Energy Holdings, which licenses and sells renewable energy technologies including those developed by the Hydrogen House Project.  The company’s successful solar panel mounting unit division, Genmounts, has expanded rapidly across the country in less than two years, and all of its products are 100 percent American made.  Renewable Energy Holdings partners with Hydrogen House Project as the primary corporate sponsor.

Duffy Electric Boat Company has partnered with Hydrogen House Project by donating the concept Duffy Voyager Electric Speedboat to the organization.  The kevlar and carbon fiber hull is a wave-piercing design that captured a battery powered boating world record in 2002.  Initially powered by a large onboard battery bank, the Hydrogen House Project plans to reduce the need for batteries and increase the boat’s horsepower by incorporating a hydrogen fuel cell drive with renewable energy self-fueling capabilities. 

Hydrogen House Project has also partnered with Sea Quest Kids, a division of Advance America Foundation, to bring the Duffy Voyager project to the Atlantic City Boat Show.  “Sea Quest Kids needs to be involved in a project like this because it’s all about the future, and the kids are the future of humanity,” says “Fearless Leader” of Sea Quest Kids, Steve Gronka.  “We want to be good stewards of the planet, and Sea Quest Kids is all about environment awareness.”

Hydrogen House Project is actively seeking sponsors and partners interested in renewable hydrogen technologies to collaborate on the Duffy Voyager Electric Speedboat and other projects.  If interested, please contact:

About Hydrogen House Project
The Hydrogen House Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to education and the pursuit of clean and renewable energy technologies.  The organization was founded by inventor Mike Strizki in 2011.  Strizki gained international notoriety in 2006 when he converted his home in Hopewell, New Jersey, to run exclusively on solar and hydrogen power.  With grants from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, as well as his own personal funds, Strizki was able to complete the Hydrogen House, the first solar-hydrogen residence in North America.  Strizki has since offered educational tours of his home to show how effective the system is at providing clean, safe, renewable energy.  His house is completely off the grid, and the only byproducts of his system are chemically pure water and medical grade oxygen.

The Hydrogen House Project plans to move forward with Strizki's research and development efforts in the renewable energy sector, investigating practical applications for solar, hydrogen, fuel cells and other clean energy technologies.  Side-by-side with these research efforts, the organization will educate the public through guided tours of the Hydrogen House, presentations, student internships, research projects, and events.

The Hydrogen House Project's headquarters in Hopewell, New Jersey is updating its revolutionary solar-hydrogen system to a modern high-pressure system complete with data monitoring.  Mike Strizki designed and installed the world's first regulation-approved home solar-hydrogen system.  The low-pressure hydrogen system installed in 2006 splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen by way of electrolysis powered by a 21-kilowatt solar panel array.  The stored hydrogen gas is used for heating and cooking in the Hydrogen House, and provides electricity by way of a hydrogen fuel cell.  The only emissions the system produces are chemically pure water and medical grade oxygen.  It is 100 percent clean and renewable energy.  

The Hydrogen House suffered damages when Hurricane Irene hit the Northeastern United States in August 2011.  In a freak occurrence, heavy winds blew down a tree that connected the Hydrogen House's low-voltage power lines to the local utility company's high-voltage lines.  As a a result, the Hydrogen House's fuel cell was damaged.  Ironically, had the Hydrogen House not been selling the excess electricity it produced back to the grid, this incident would have been avoided.  The home's geothermal pump was also damaged from flooding.  Nonetheless, while the town suffered an electrical blackout for days, the Hydrogen House still had its lights on.  Mike Strizki simply hooked up the fuel cell in his hydrogen car to power his home.  

Hurricane Irene offers a unique opportunity for the Hydrogen House Project to reevaluate the solar-hydrogen system.  We intend to install high pressure tanks to replace the 11 large propane tanks featured at the Hydrogen House.  A high pressure electrolyzer will be installed as well as a more efficient modern fuel cell.  

Finally, a data monitoring system will track the daily energy use of the Hydrogen House.  The system will provide the world with valuable insight into the costs and efficiencies of running a home with hydrogen.  This information is vital to understanding the true potential of a hydrogen economy and can help the scientific community model scenarios for how to integrate larger-scale hydrogen projects into society.  

We are actively seeking sponsors to feature their technology in this exciting project. For more information and to find out how you can get involved, visit   www.hydrogenhouseproject.org/donate.html
