The description rather misses the point. The electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen requires a good deal of electrical power. It's not free energy--you actually get a good deal less out of it than you put into it. The advantage to hydrogen fuel is that it is energy dense and theoretically storeable and transportable much as fossil fuels are.

The problem, though, is that it is extremely hard to store and transport because it escapes so easy (hydrogen being so tiny). I'd hazard that, left alone, all of the hydrogen would escape from that car's tanks in a matter of days.

There really is no easy solution. If you could effectively store and transport hydrogen, and use nuclear power to create it, that would solve a lot of problems. It would create new ones too.

This is, of course, not to belittle what this man has done. It is a fine engineering project, and it is people like this who will, little by little, refine the techniques and solve the problems that are necessary,

Looks like this particular setup holds the hydrogen chemically, and only releases it when heated. You're thinking it's just a pressurized cylinder, when it's actually a chemical compound inside.

Like he said in the video, (1:00) you can cut the cylinder in half, light it, and the hydrogen leaking out would make a birthday candle look like a flame thrower. "Smoulder like a cigarette."

It's severely awesome, the hydride "sucks" in hydrogen at low pressures, stores it safely, then pushes the gas out at high pressure if heated. Certainly no MORE dangerous than the petroleum based fuel that our cars run on now. Gasoline certainly vapourizes and explodes when heated.

I've been following Bob Lazar's work for years.

Watch the video - the latter portion is about a solution to the problem described by AeroMechanical.

I do object to use of the term "the law". It would be more accurate (and encouraging) to say "current US federal law" forbid the sale of Lithium-6 deuteride. Moreover, what law exactly? What chapter and section?

So you could do what alot of the hemp growers do. Leave the country, or produce it yourself for your own consumption, or work on changing the laws.

Hey, if you can't sell it, can you give it away for free then accept donations?
