Alternative fuels--Make your own Hydrogen

Hey! It's got some SCIENCE behind it!

Not bad! Though, reading it, given cost much secondary to need...I'd use the small engine package, on a full-house generator.

If it's that easy why has it not been done sooner? I would love to see something come along to free us from the oil producing countries. It would only take a mild shift in demand to do so too. The economic dislocation of various industries would be huge.

Uh... you need to read the details.

Cost: about 13,000

Tanks are the key to it... note the composition of the FIRST practical tanks?

Neither Gas or Liquid hydrogen tanks are practical because of the explosion/fire hazards, not to mention capacity for the gaseous ones and need for refrigeration for liquid.

BUT the new media tanks require heating, which reduces efficiency summat. Why not use engine heat from heater lines?

PLUS OBDII makes engine control/metering a lot easier than it would have been prior

And it's still under development... remember LNG and Propane were exactly creating storms of customers.
