Wha? The amount of energy you get from recombining O2 and H2 is less than the energy it takes to separate them out of the water. Surely you misunderstood, and he's working on (say) a catalytic H2 cracker that sits in the garage and runs of natural gas or something, then fills the vihicle tank with H2. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon "We'd tell a monkey how to peel a banana, if he said he was peeling one in a Vanagon." |
