Hydrogen@home |
Introduction
Tired of melting polar ice caps? Upset by nations fighting over oil? Join Hydrogen@home and help develop an alternative energy technology that is clean, abundant, and locally controlled.
The US DOE has engineered algae that convert light energy to hydrogen (info). This hydrogen can be used to power cars, buses, houses and other things; when burned it produces no pollution, only water.
But: the process is not yet sufficiently efficient for large scale use. With the help of volunteers like you, Hydrogen@Home is modeling enzymes that could significantly improve the effectiveness of the biochemical processes involved.
So please join us-- with your help, we may soon be able to grow 100% clean fuel instead of drilling or mining for fossil fuels.

Science
[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important.]
Results
[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]
Links of Interest
[Why recreate the wheel; there are lots of great sources out there.; a good list of sources can be really useful to the reader.]
Hydrogen@home In the Classroom
[For each project, please add a "[Projectname] in the Classroom" section-- with a link to Volunteer Computing In the Classroom and an article named "[Projectname] in the Classroom". (Then please add "[Projectname] in the Classroom" to the list on the main Education page.)]
