Hydrogen can be "packaged" in several ways, as a fuel gas in a H2/02 powered
engine or the newly devised solid state pellet of hydrogen isotopes that
contains about the equivalent of 5000 cubic feet of hydrogen and is broken down
and releases gas into the second chamber where it goes to the engine for use.
There are many ways to get pure hydrogen out of many compounds using methods
such as electrolysis and chemical reactions. One of the easiest ways is using a
chemical reaction. Simple chemicals (aluminum,sodium hydroxide, and water) can
be reacted in the home to produce heavy hydrogen to power your furnace or your
hot water heater . No electrical power at all is required. The reaction also
gives off a tremendous amount of heat. Even the waste heat could be captured for
heating the house. The resulting sodium aluminate is harmless and could be
collected at recoiling centers for complete acid/base neutralization. This way
is a simpler way than electrolysis......
