Ive seen videos of home built hydrogen cars. looks like they are the
propane converted cars run on hydrogen instead of natural gas, and thats it.
I think they are adding in the cost to get hydrogen. naturally occuring
hydrogen is with natural gas deposits, expensive. using electrolysis takes
too much energy to get the hydrogen out they say (yet it takes WAY more
energy to get the gasoline to a gas station then what you get out of the
gas. gas is only 25% efficient, means 75% is wasted) .
I saw a video of a chemical reaction that produced vast amounts of hydrogen.
the process was used to fill *up BLIMPS during world war I.* Si and NaOH
produces hydrogen naturally.
I dont see how hydrogen cars are expensive when a propane kit is $1500.
