Battery Tests: Hemp vs Lithium

It's no surprise to MOhemp Energy-  Hemp Battery performed better than Litium (31 to 4) in this battery test by Robert Murray-Smith.

Original Article: Cannabis Tech

hemp cell 31 vs lithium cell 4

An experiment was conducted to perform a comparison check on the performance of hemp batteries and lithium batteries. The hemp battery and the lithium battery was connected in the circuit at separate times and three curves were monitored – one the Amps curve, the second being the Volts curve and the third one being the Volts by Amps curve with the sampling record set to be once every second for a total of ½ hour. The test was conducted by stressing both – the hemp as well as the lithium cells in the same equipment to the same degrees.

Hemp Battery out produces Lithium Battery

The Observation

When the Volts by Amps curve was observed for both the cells it was found that the power underneath the hemp cell was a value of 31 while that of the lithium cell had a value of just 4.

Hemp Energy Pellet New York style

MOhemp Energy blog readers have already been clued in on why and how Hemp Energy Pellets and other things mentioned in this Hemp Today Article is the most economical way to get in the Hemp Business.

Has CNY or someone working with them been reading this blog? My blog stats have previously shown lots of traffic from Toronto and New York.  Glad I could help out!

Kudos to CNY Hemp processing in New York for also recognizing how Hemp Energy Pellets are a viable solution to the growing sustainable energy business, Scotty MOhemp Energy

No Pellet stove but still want to burn Hemp Biomass here are MOhemp Energy Hemp Biomass Examples that do not require a Pellet Stove!

Not all Hemp Machines Require Millions of investment capital that many of these Hemp articles which are grabbing everyone's attention require.

Do the Financial Investors who are now spending and investing millions in the future Hemp Industry understand this?  

MOhemp has previously shared:

This inspired me to figure out a way to do what huge multi-million Hemp factory machines do in the field and per David Bovis: 

• Processing Hemp in the field could be the Holy Grail needed in the Hemp Industry. During a conversation David and I were having with Zev Paiss past President of the National Hemp Association, Mr Bovis shared this: 

Scotty has ideas in principle that would, without exaggeration, revolutionise post-harvest processing and reduce the production costs by such a margin they would become almost negligible by comparison to current processing methods common in the industry

Scotty's Hemp Farming Invention I have been working on adds one more income producing step of removing the valuable Lignin from the Hemp plant. MOhemp Blog Article Invention Link

 Scotty provides yet another example of how and why Hemp Energy Pellets are low investment and can use existing Farm Machinery to turn fields of Hemp into cash money in this 5 step process.

MOhemp Energy Field to Energy Pellets in 5 steps

The above examples are just a few ways that MOhemp Energy takes into consideration their future customers finances. Below are the reasons why:

1. Investors of Millions of Dollars will want a return on investment (ROI) plus interest. These increased costs are passed on to the end users and buyers in the products we buy. 
2. Multi-Million dollar factories are not required to decorticate or separate the various parts of the Hemp plant. 
3. The total acres needed to keep a large scale Hemp Decortication Factory in operation will number in many thousands of acres. Is it feasible to spend that amount of money when the total USA acres planted in Hemp was below 30,000? 2017 US Hemp Crop Report. 25,713. Acres of hemp grown in. 19 states.

These 3 examples above are why MOhemp Energy when in operation will have a competitive advantage over the big money investors!

Hemp Lignin Supercapacitors

Ecofriendly and economical! Is coming to electronics and systems requiring fast charge and discharge additional electric components are also highlighted in this article by:

The Ministry of Hemp

Hemp Supercapacitors Bring Green Tech To A Higher Level

Outperforming standard supercapacitors up to 200 percent, hemp-based supercapacitors could be the future of green technology.

The article pointed some additional facts about Hemp Lignin Supercapacitors:

• Today’s supercapacitors commonly use graphene, a carbon nanomaterial to create electrodes...graphene costs up to $2000 per gram.

• The [Hemp] solution produces not only a cheaper material — $5000 per ton — but one that performs up to four times better than graphene. 

• hemp research is ready to take a big leap. Someday, we could be driving hemp-powered cars and using phones that are powered by hemp!

• if hemp supercapacitors are adapted to a larger scale, we might see a shift in the infrastructure of the entire country.

• The possibilities for this greener, cleaner, and sustainable crop seem limitless! With legal hemp, countless industries stand to benefit. Article

MOhemp Hemp Farming Inventions Removes the Valuable Lignin from the stalk.

MOhemp Solved the Lignin Removal Process

The Times News recently published an article High hopes for hemp about the resurgence of American Made fabrics plus The critical step of needed fiber cleaning and conditioning.

MOhemp Energy Farm Equipment Invention also conditions the desired and sought after natural fibers for use in the Clothing Industry.

 The article mentions:

To do so, you have to remove the lignin, which is a gum-like substance holding the fibers together. Combing it out doesn’t work, which leaves one other option...“What we want to do is release, remove the majority of the lignin by washing it,” Carpenter said. “And there’s a dozen ways to do it, but some are more environmentally friendly than others. And one of the more environmentally friendly ways involves using enzymes. The enzymes relax the gum-glue itself and actually wash it away. It doesn’t get it all. It’s not the final answer, but it brings you 80 percent of the way to it. That’s what we’re doing here today. We’re running trials on different ways to get to that 80 percent.”

MOhemp Fiber Cleaner not only removes the valuable Hemp Lignin

Hint: Greater than 80% clean fibers can be accomplished in one system.

Hemp-Based Batteries Could Change the Way We Store Energy Forever

Scotty, MOhemp Energy has not figured out how to make a battery (yet) but he has figured out how to remove the raw material from the Hemp plant that is mentioned in this article below and is currently seeking pilot study collaborators who are interested in bringing this technology to market.

Hemp is the most universally useful plant we have at our disposal. The history of mankind’s use of hemp can be traced way back in time to between about 5000 – 7000 BC.

Industrial hemp and hemp seed could transform the economy of the world States in a positive and beneficial way, and therefore should be exploited to its full potential, especially relating to energy storage.

David Mitlin, Ph.D., explains that supercapacitors are energy storage devices that have huge potential to transform the way future electronics are powered. Unlike today’s rechargeable batteries, which sip up energy over several hours, supercapacitors can charge and discharge within seconds. But they normally can’t store nearly as much energy as batteries, an important property known as energy density. One approach researchers are taking to boost supercapacitors’ energy density is to design better electrodes. Mitlin’s team has figured out how to make them from certain hemp fibers — and they can hold as much energy as the current top contender: graphene.

Mitlin says

"Our device’s electrochemical performance is on par with or better than graphene-based devices. The key advantage is that our electrodes are made from biowaste using a simple process, and therefore, are much cheaper than graphene.”

Current Bill Summary

SCS/SB 547 - This act modifies provisions relating to industrial hemp. Currently, marijuana and marihuana are considered Schedule I drugs for purposes of the Comprehensive Drug Control Act. This act defines industrial hemp, and exempts industrial hemp from the Comprehensive Drug Control Act. This act creates an industrial hemp agricultural pilot program to be implemented by the Department of Agriculture to study the growth, cultivation, processing, feeding, and marketing of industrial hemp. Under this act, growers and handlers of industrial hemp are required to obtain a registration, and growers and handlers of agricultural hemp seed are required to obtain a permit, from the Department of Agriculture. An application for an industrial hemp registration or agricultural hemp seed production permit shall be accompanied by an application fee and shall include certain information as set forth in this act. Upon fulfilling the application requirements, upon completing a satisfactory fingerprint criminal history background check, signing an acknowledgment that industrial hemp is an experimental crop, and signing a waiver holding the Missouri Department of Agriculture harmless, the Department shall issue a registration or permit. All information relating to registration and permit holders shall be forwarded to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Any registration or permit is nontransferable except to certain family members, is valid for 3 years, and is renewable. Under this act, the Department may revoke, refuse to issue, or refuse to renew an industrial hemp registration or agricultural hemp seed production permit, and may impose a civil penalty of not less than $2,500 and not more than $50,000 for violating registration or permit requirements, Department rules, industrial hemp plant monitoring system requirements, or certain Department of Agriculture orders. A registration or permit shall not be issued to any person that has been found guilty of any felony offense under any state or federal law regarding a controlled substance within the previous 5 years. Under this act, any person growing industrial hemp who does not have a valid registration shall be subject to an administrative fine of $500 and shall have 30 days to obtain such registration. If such person receives such registration within 30 days, he or she shall have their fine refunded in full. However, if such person fails to obtain such registration within 30 days, he or she shall be fined $1000 per day until such registration is obtained, or their crop may be destroyed by the Department of Agriculture after 30 additional days. Under this act, any grower may retain seed from each industrial hemp crop to ensure a sufficient supply of seed for that grower for the following year without the requirement to obtain a hemp seed production permit. Such seed shall not be sold or transferred, and does not have to meet hemp seed standards established by the Department of Agriculture. Each grower and handler shall be subject to an industrial hemp plant monitoring system and shall keep certain records as required by the Department of Agriculture. Upon 3 days notice, the Department may require an inspection or audit for purposes of ensuring compliance with industrial hemp laws, regulations, permit requirements, monitoring system requirements, and Department orders. Additionally, this act allows the Department to inspect any industrial hemp crop during the crop's growth phase. If such crop contains an average THC concentration exceeding 0.3%, or the maximum amount allowed under federal law, the Department may detain or seize the crop. This act requires the Department of Agriculture to develop standard identification documentation for industrial hemp and associated commodities. The Department may assess growers and handlers registered under this act a fee for developing such system. All fees assessed to growers and handlers shall be deposited in the Industrial Hemp Fund created under this act, which shall be used by the Department of Agriculture for administration purposes. Further, this act allows an institution of higher education, in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, to engage in the study of the growth, cultivation, or marketing of industrial hemp and seed. This act also allows the Missouri Crop Improvement Association, in collaboration with the Department, to establish and administer a certification program for agricultural hemp seed. Under the program, the Department may breed, plant, grow, cultivate, and harvest cannabis, and collect seeds from wild cannabis plants. Such program shall be voluntary for growers of industrial hemp. Currently, a food is considered adulterated if it meets certain criteria. Under this act, a food shall not be considered adulterated if it contains industrial hemp, or an industrial hemp commodity or product. This act is similar to HB 170 (2017). source: SB 547 Modifies provisions relating to industrial hemp

MOhemp Energy Kyoto Hemp Forum Presentation Notes

MOhemp Energy Kyoto Presentation Notes

Hats off to the everyone who has been working behind the scenes at the 1st Annual Hemp Environmental Forum as well as the Sponsors and Presenters who have been sharing the groundbreaking discoveries, inventions, news, and advancements that the Hemp Industry is experiencing.

Many thanks Nayer and Takashi and the other great minds of the Kyoto Hemp Forum for welcoming and including the discoveries and inventions the MOhemp Energy Team has made.

• Yes its faster and better than phytoremediation alone 
• While working on a Startup Business http:electrohemp.org that will save lives in the St Louis Region. I approached a Startup Group who works in a well known St Louis College. They are interested in the ‪#‎biotech‬, ‪#‎cleantech‬, and ‪#‎Agriculture‬ inventions the Team has developed and developing.

The "ElectroHemp's" Teams goals: are to save lives and help our immediate community by improving 

the quality of life for those affected by the Nuclear Waste that is illegally buried at ‪#‎WestlakeLandfill‬  

and the ‪#‎ColdwaterCreek‬ areas of the Region.

 The team has figured out how to cycle the toxins from the 
ground faster than has been previously done with a 
Natural System. And then dispose of these toxins which are 
made inert ie: "non hazardous". This process is accomplished 
by using natural and organic resources.

 It’s truly an Honor and personally humbling to be given an opportunity to share and add our teams voice to the 1st Annual International Hemp Forum and how

Hemp is The Lifeline to the Future.

In these troubling times mankind is facing from the effects of Climate Change.  Believe it or not, there are many ways that the cannabis plant will be instrumental in negating the environmental destruction that is wreaking havoc on our Planet.  Hemp is one of the few plants that can be grown all around the world that addresses and nullifies so many problems that threaten mankind's continued existence on this planet.

Because of Hemp’s ability to

• absorb the toxins in the soil and water by phytoremediation or
• Hemp’s ability to cycle the CO2 emissions from the air we breathe or
• all the sustainable products made from Hemp.  

Hemp will be a energy efficient income driver for local communities by

• creating energy efficient building products
• such as Hempcrete and
• Hemp Fiber Insulation as well as a
• sustainable Biomass Energy Provider champion.  

There is no better time than the present for the World to recognize that Hemp is the Lifeline to the Future.

However you are viewing the First Annual Hemp International Forum rest assured that all of the

"Hemp Industry Pros really do have solutions to correct the wrongs that mankind has brought on this world we live in.  

You have been given a front row seat and are witnessing the early stages of reviving an age old industry that will bring many future advancements to our World, I’m sure you too will realize it’s a no brainer that the great Cannabis plant should be grown and utilized everywhere.

Hemp is the Lifeline to the Future.  If you don’t believe me just keep watching and taking notes and you too will have the ah-hah moment.

-HEMP Lifeline to the Future-

We are holding a kick-off event known as "International Hemp Environmental Forum 2016" which is being organized to focus and bring to fruition a solution to the environmental issues facing our beautiful planet, Japan as the starting point.

This upcoming event will be held in the city of Kyoto, Japan, which is globally known as an international environmental city, together with global hemp farmers, hemp industrial companies, enthusiastic hemp evangelists as well as environmental specialists will be assembling to network and bring about a global hemp revolution, starting in Nihon and spreading world wide.

Hemp, the plant bearing the scientific designation Cannabis Sativa, L. is an annual plant that is known as sustainable plant resource, and it's not only utilized as food, clothes, and housing material, but also in various fields like energy production, medicinal purposes and industrial material. More importantly, it is a huge asset as an alternative resource for underground resources like fossil fuel and for forest resources. It is said that amount of carbon dioxide the hemp absorbs during its vegetative stage is 3 to 7 times as deciduous tree. The hemp plant should be a symbol of biomass resources because of its characteristics and possibility of contribution for low carbon society. It is without a doubt that hemp is an ideal plant to make our earth into perpetually circulating society, which is exactly what humans need for the future.

We are here to announce to the world that we are taking a big step towards building our sustainable future and recycling-oriented society by implementing the most of hemp’s value.

Hemp: A Source Biomass Antibacterial Fibers

Cannabis sativa: The Plant of the Thousand and One Molecules

Plant lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant renewable resource, which can provide biopolymers, fibers, chemicals and energy (Guerriero et al., 2014, 2015, 2016). 

Trees are important for the provision of wood, however, also fast-growing herbaceous species, like textile hemp (which has a THC content <0.3%; Weiblen et al., 2015), can provide high biomass quantities in a short time. The stem of this fiber crop supplies both cellulosic and woody fibers: the core is indeed lignified, while the cortex harbors long cellulose-rich fibers, known as bast fibers (Figure 1) (Guerriero et al., 2013).

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 1. Anatomical details of Cannabis stem. (A) Stem of an adult plant (ca 2 months); (B) The stem can be peeled off and shows a lignified core and a cortex with bast fibers. (C) Longitudinal section of hemp stem stained with toluidine blue 

showing the cortex with a bundle of bast-fibers (white asterisk) and the core with xylem vessels (black asterisk).

This heterogeneous cell wall composition makes hemp stem an interesting model to study secondary cell wall biosynthesis, in particular the molecular events underlying the deposition of cortical gelatinous bast fibers and core woody fibers.

Cannabis woody fibers (a.k.a “hurds” or “shivs”) are used for animal bedding because of their high absorption capacity and for the creation of a concrete-like material.

Hemp bast fibers are used in the biocomposite sector as a substitute of glass fibers. The automotive industry is particularly keen on using hemp bast fibers to produce bioplastics: this material is stronger than polypropylene plastic and lighter in weight (Marsh, 2003).

Beyond the applications in the construction and automotive industries, hemp fibers are attractive also in the light of their natural antibacterial property. Hemp bast fibers have been indeed described as antibacterial (Hao et al., 2014; Khan et al., 2015) and their use for the manufacture of an antibacterial finishing agent (Bao et al., 2014), surgical devices (Gu, 2006) or functionalized textiles (Cassano et al., 2013) has been reported. This property is linked to the chemical composition of hemp bast fibers: both free and esterified sterols and triterpenes have been identified, among which β-sitosterol and β-amyrin (Gutiérrez and del Río, 2005). These compounds possess known antibacterial properties (Kiprono et al., 2000; Ibrahim, 2012). Hemp bast fibers were also found to contain cannabinoids (2% of the total metabolite extract) (Bouloc et al., 2013 and references therein). More recently hemp hurd powder showed antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli (Khan et al., 2015). Since the hurd has a higher lignin content than the bast fibers, its antibacterial property may be linked to lignin-related compounds such phenolic compounds, as well as alkaloids and cannabinoids (Appendino et al., 2008; Khan et al., 2015).
