[TheForge] Hydrogen storage (was: Hellooooooo!)

[Ralph Sproul]

	Good question.  I know Hydrogen has a burn rate twice that of acetylene,
and three times of propane (approximate).......but no idea how it compares
to gas or fuel.

Anyone know offhand how efficient hydrogen is, energy-wise, on a per
volume or per-weight hasis when compared to gasoline and diesel?

make the point that water is plentiful in most places and could probably be
the fuel source itself.  (The car would be engineered to separate the
hydrogen and oxygen use both, or just the hydrogen).  The technology is very
lo tech and water is very stable.  The only hazardous possibilities, if done
correctly, are possible electric shock if your fuel tank is ruptured in a
crash, but even that could be engineered around.
