Browns Gas generators and some of the applications were first developed and manufactured in Australia. Production was transferred to the Peoples Republic of China at the inducement of its government, resulting in mass production of generators for national distribution. Important Chinese applications, besides welding and brazing, include water desalination, medical and toxic waste management and destruction, pharmaceutical production applications, and materials hardening. In 1996, the Chinese re-invited Yull Brown to build a Browns Gas system for deployment in automobiles. This particular technology transfer was interrupted in part due to ill health when he decided to return to his homeland, Australia, to spend the last months of his life.
Through the auspices of our Associations network, Yull Brown made arrangements for additional manufacturing facilities to produce generators and applications that would meet North American and European Union standards in Canada. One novel Canadian application is in synthesizing heavy crude and oil sands. Our Canadian colleagues are now successfully investigating applications in automobile engines, in optimizing the combustion of other fuels (wood, coal, natural gas, etc.) in to near complete burn and minimal emissions.
There is also the very convincing, but not yet test-proven on a large scale, case of using Browns Gas for the purpose of storing energy in such situations as excess hydro capacity, wind and solar energy by producing Browns Gas from electrolysis during slack demand periods and then using Browns Gas to produce electricity on demand during high-consumption periods. The efficiencies in both phases are very exciting.
The ready and limitless availability of water makes Browns Gas possibly the best carrier for solar energy and other alternative energy sources developed to this time. It has higher energy-conversion efficiency than hydrogen alone, which is conventionally considered to possess the highest conversion efficiency as fuel. Browns Gas is non-polluting -- it does not even emit the nitrogen oxides, which results from hydrogen burning. It is naturally recyclable -- the product of its burning is pure water. Browns Gas is adaptable, like hydrogen, to most of the existing energy utilization technologies, without any major modifications.
