"For two water molecules electrolysed and hence two hydrogen molecules formed, n = 4, and ΔG° = 474.48 kJ/2 mol(water) = 237.24 kJ/mol(water), and ΔS° = 163 J/K mol(water), and ΔH° = 571.66 kJ/2 mol(water) = 285.83 kJ/mol(water), and finally 141.86 MJ/kg(H2) "
In other words: energetically unfavorable and a complete waste of resources.
The narrative has always been "it takes too much energy to extract the H2 from H2o therefore don't bother trying it"
What if that is a lie like everything else? It could be legit, but obviously we have people being murdered when they get over the same target - so should be worth a look.
That's a fair comment. I wasn't calling you out. You can't argue with math formulas.
I just suspect in this case that somewhere the narrative is discouraging people who are much smarter than myself to actually putting their hands to the plow to find the solution...
Oh for sure, and sorry for the snark. There’s a lot of insane true crime stories involving people creating much more energy efficient vehicles. The main hurdle to get through is the activation energy of electrolysis. If you can do that with a negligible amount of energy loss, then I think we can start to suspect some foul play.

For due diligence sake, let's call this out.

You know you they teach high schoolers to measure the energy yield from water electrolysis, right?
