[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Sept. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCQB:HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, today announced a milestone achievement in completing a newly designed hydrogen generation prototype that can be scaled to commercial size for the production of renewable hydrogen at or near the point of distribution.\n The complete working prototype device and accompanying video showcases renewable hydrogen produced directly using polluted water from the Salton Sea in Imperial County California. When exposed to sunlight, water molecules are split into hydrogen in one chamber and oxygen in the other, a process very important to the success of the technology due to the explosive potency of the mixture. Additionally, the waste in the water is actually broken down, therefore cleaning up the contaminated Salton Sea water used in the process. The patent-pending device design contains HyperSolar’s proprietary hydrogen production particle which consists of a high voltage solar cell encapsulated in a protective catalyst coating, integrated into a membrane separator. The protective coating has been demonstrated to allow hydrogen production to run for hundreds of hours in very corrosive water, without damage. To fully demonstrate fuel cell capabilities, the produced hydrogen is connected to a fuel cell that converts hydrogen into usable electricity, ultimately facilitating electrical power to illuminate the two light bulbs.  The release of the prototype and accompanying video is a testament to the continued technological advancement of HyperSolar technology, fueled in part due to both new hires and existing sponsored research agreements with leading universities and individuals. Further, the video showcases the multiple successes of the technology that represent the foundation of the technology that once scaled can be made to meet real world market demand. The video also addresses a crucial and innovative achievement of the technology in that its unique, patent pending membrane design enables a safer and more efficient collection of hydrogen. “We are pleased to follow through on our stated goal of producing a working prototype that we believe represents the potential for the most viable and completely renewable hy...
