Great!! Except hydrogen doesn't exist in the ground ready to be refined into gasoline. You must disassociate hydrogen from water. Which take energy. Lots of energy. Which comes from electricity, which comes from power plants. Same as electric vehicles.
I agree with you.
It seems cleaner than surface mining for rare earth minerals for gigantic car batteries, that also need to be powered by external sources such as coal or oil, and then become chemical waste when expired.
At least the two chemicals in water are hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe and oxygen, something we breath every day.
I believe water ignites magnesium. Could one of the byproducts be hydrogen?
I am not a chemist and don't imply I am. I just wonder if maybe a chemical reaction could create hydrogen instead of using lots of external power.
If you have lots of hydrogen lying around, its a great fuel. Burn hydrogen and get water vapor!!! Problem is, hydrogen is reactive/explosive in air and is not found in its atomic state. It combines with oxygen to form water. A most abundant substance on earth. According to Wikipedia hydrogen makes up 0.000055% of the atmosphere so there is not much to get that way. NASA fills rocket tanks with liquid hydrogen so we can make it easy enough. But it take a lot of energy. That's the rub. If it were competitive with gasoline it would be here. Greenies are pushing it, but haven't thought everything through as usual.
Thanks u/Azorca 👈🏻
I appreciate your thorough follow ups and insights.
No more energy costs, or very low costs.

I hope you are right! I've been reading about fusion stuff since the 1960's in popular science or popular mechanics and remember getting all excited about it. It's 2023 now, and still a hope that is at least 10-12 years out. Just like the global warming catastrophe.
Same here.
We are into the grand solar minimum. The climate is getting colder not warmer. Global warming was brought to you by Al Gore and 'friends'. All the same BS and what brought us together here.

Agree... Maunder minimum....It's all about the sun. Anything else is politics or graft.
the area 52 guy made a hydrogen cell to run his corvette, it wasn't what you think and may be like this vehicles hydrogen cell.
Could be...We got lots of hydrogen. I'm totally in.... if it works.

I may have misunderstood what he is doing but it's still interesting.
Ever since Standard Oil killed the red car in Los Angeles, which my dad and I used to ride to the Dodger games, I will consider anything other than oil and gas. Corporate supression of competing technology is real and powerful. I'm just reacting to what I believe to be true. Which may be wrong. Thanks for the link.
Then you can think of hydrogen fuel cells like batteries that get "charged" by the grid. Are they better than lithium batteries? Probably in the long run. And there will probably be some electrolysis breakthroughs in the coming decades. I think I recall Stanley Meyer (water car guy) had a patent for splitting water molecules without electrolysis.
You can buy the reactors on eBay. Its only a fuel additive tho, not a complete replacement for gasoline.
Stan Meyers was murdered, not for inventing this but for inventing an electrical circuit that produced a lot more hydrogen than a normal reactor could. This circuit invention has disappeared.
