The tiny hydrogen molecule, about 1/15th the mass of air, is a sleeping energy monster. Yielding more than three times the combustive power of gasoline, it can also produce electricity when used in a fuel cell. This little overachiever is a battery and combustible all in one, making it a front-runner as an alternative to oil, coal, and gas and a way to reduce our dependence on lithium.
H too? Oh!
But there’s one more thing: It also makes water. Water isn't just a byproduct of hydrogen combustion or electrolysis, it's the ONLY byproduct. No CO, CO2, or any of that poisonous greenhouse gas bullshit, just pure drinkable water. One pound of hydrogen, in fact, produces eight pounds of water whether it is burned or used in a fuel cell.
The Hydrobox concept
Imagine a box the size of a portable generator that can be shipped to disaster areas that can create electricity, heat, and fresh water on-demand. There are no moving parts, so it’s durable as hell and it can be refueled simply by swapping tanks. This inexpensive doohickey could be shipped in large numbers to areas of drought and famine. The tech for this already exists, it just needs to get done.
It’s stupid that we’re not already driving hydrogen cars to the hardware store and flying hydrogen jets to Las Vegas. Ridiculous that we’re not rushing hydroboxes to war-torn parts of the world to provide hospitals and schools with emergency electricity and water. The forces working against it have all the money and power in the world, but that’s kinda why KillOil.org exists.
