Synthetic Energy, Inc. is a wind to hydrogen power facility run by Craig Hanes, just outside of Boise. They have two wind turbines that each produce a peak of 50 KW, providing 25% of the facility's power. The power running to the building makes electrolysis of the water possible, separating the oxygen from the hydrogen. After the hydrogen is separated, it is piped to a holding tank on the back of a Norco truck. It is used for multiple purposes, including argon gas and electric motor coolant. The facility produces 232 cubic feet of H2 per hour (there are 7.8 gallons in one cubic foot).
