The inventor of the Super Soaker sheds light on a new approach to solar power that stands to double its efficiency. The Super Soaker invention was an offshoot of work Mr. Johnson was doing on environmentally-friendly heat pumps, but made him a ton of money, which he has put into additional research. This has paid off in the form of a combination heat pump and fuel cell arrangement, sort of like a souped-up Peltier junction, to generate electricity from solar radiation via a cylce of water hydrolysis and recombination. The invention has the Air Force and PARC excited and could realize the dream of practical renewable energy. Check it out.
