  2. You don’t have to use the Hydrogen to make energy. You can use it for other things. But, I was just saying how easy it is to get a hold of. Hell, you can use solar to get it if you want.

  4. but what is the point of using electricity to make hydrogen, only to turn it into electricity again? the way your doing it is, chemecal energy in the battery is changed into electrical energy, turned back into chemical energy (hydrogen) and then convert that to electricity?

  6. Well, I learned more about how they work, but this guy is kind of a dumbass. Hydrogen is easy as hell to get. Go grab a cup, a 9 volt batter, and some wires. Fill the cup with water, connect wires to battery, and put into water. Viola, you have hydrogen gas as well as oxygen gas.

  8. i read about this car in this magizine that gets 110 miles to the gallon now that 1 car that you wont be refueling for a awile

  10. Excellent comment; I agree, you can get free hydrogen from pure water using electrolysis. Just 12 Volt car battery power/ or 110 AC current. Search Stanley Meyer at Youtube. And this guy..? supposed to be some kinda scientist? lmao. Using oil to get hydrogen?..wow nice idea, perhaps he can wipe his ass, THEN take a dunk. What a moron.

  12. a what now?

  14. There’s a ton of ways to get hydrogen. One example is from electrolysis, which is basically shocking the water to seperate the hydrogen from the oxygen. And it is renewable, since when the hydrogen is recombined with the oxygen at the end of the fuel cell, it makes water again.

  16. how do u get hydrogen? just curious. like where is the source? and is it renewable? if it is so then shouldnt it be like the most researched on thing right now to save the earth?

  22. Perhaps you should do one on Electric Cars

  24. I got one of those
