Alternate Energy – How The Military Uses It !

The branches under the military know that they have to seek new ideas, in the new, post-Cold War world of the 21st century, about how to tackle “the theatre of war”. What are the major interests of the US military? The forces in the battlefield, which are used in the theater, to be more energy-independent is what is desired the most. The forces of the military require proper energy and clean water when they battle it out in foreign military campaigns. The US military, currently, has its own policies and procedures intact to communicate with allies or sympathetic general public in such a case. But however this alone is not reliable when the US military have to carry on their military actions successfully as there can be a situation when its allies cannot help with its resources it needs or when they face unilateral military activities.

The keen interest of the military in the US is to make certain alternative sources of energy energy-independent sources on the battle field with the help of research and development technologies. Portable nuclear reactors can make such a thing happen. Development of portable small nuclear reactors for delivering theater-local electricity is of great interest to the military. The clean-burning nuclear reactors, which are energy efficient, have captivated the military to a large extent. Perhaps, making such reactors portable for the intense warfare of today’s well mobile and miniature military operations is something they are researching. Perhaps, these nuclear reactors are capable of removing hydrogen from seawater and obtaining hydrogen fuel from seawater can in a way have less effect on our environment than it does during current practices. This in-turn makes it less susceptible to pollution.

Seawater can be an answer to all the problems of the US military. Seawater being available in plenty can be a potential alternative source of energy. The military’s utmost interest is on seawater in the arena of alternative sources of energy supply. Seawater can be relentlessly excavated for hydrogen, which can in turn power advanced fuel cells. Desalinated and portable water can also be generated endlessly from seawater with the help of OTEC. Resources such as portable water and hydrogen will be needed, by the anticipated military force, to generate power. Hence such resources should be utilized to maximum effect.

Temperatures inside the cores of the portable nuclear reactors, those which interested the military, run over a 1000 degree Celsius. At such high temperatures water can be broken down to its component parts of molecular oxygen and hydrogen. The former happens when high temperatures get combined with the thermo-chemical water-splitting procedure. This is the most efficient way of breaking water to its component parts. Extraction of minerals and salts, from seawater through the desalination process, is needed to clear the way for this process. Such salts can be either recycled by draining it to the ocean or utilized using vitamin or salt shakers. The power of the nuclear reactors is needed to extract hydrogen from the seas. The US’s top-most priority in the R&D is to use them as fuel cells which power high-level tanks, airplanes and ground vehicles.
