1. What a fairy tale. You lose 75% of energy in process:
   electricity -> hydrogen -> fuel cell -> electricity.

2. Have you ever heard of battery’s ?

3. Was going to watch, but then all the comments were negative, so I decided
   not to.

4. Why aren’t we using hydrogen to power our powerploants to produce clean,
   cheap electricity?

5. If everyone in the world drove a hydrogen powered car, would it be the end
   of water shortages, since the by-product is water. Would all the roads be
   inundated by the car’s muffler exhaust????

6. Hydrogen is NOT a fuel, since one requirement of a fuel is to be able to
   find it in nature & easily extracted with minimal effort/energy
   expenditure. Oil is an example. Solar is another example (used by
   plants). Or plant oil. Where can I simply drill & collect hydrogen?
   Answer: Nowhere.

7. Unfortunately this is misguided attempt to be ‘greener’. WITTS has far
   better technologies than Hydrogen. Ones that are safe, far more abundant,
   and much cheaper on mass scale. The truth about Hydrogen is it’s yet one
   more way to tie folks to some kind of pump, ensuring everyone keeps
   suckling from the conglomerates.

9. The gentlemen at 13:50 speaks as if gas pump related accidents should be a
   catalyst for hydrogen refueling? An internet search does not indicate such
   a need. This would be more enjoyable without being misinformed.

10. But you still need oil for the tires, roads, plastics, paints, resins,
    composites, lubricants, etc. Chemical Engineers in the US are realizing
    that we need to switch from burning petroleum as a fuel source to using it
    as a feedstock for important, indispensable materials. Hopefully Hydrogen
    power will bring us one step closer to that goal!

11. Why don’t we split hydrogen from water, store them at home, and use them as
    fuel first?
    It will be much easier then using them in cars, right?

12. 80% of the Brewery energy needs was produced on site!

13. Wow! So much to think about after watching that film!

14. NANOTECH: Hydrogen Economy’s Future

    Why hydrogen?
    The hydrogen economy is the next revolution in energy. According to the
    DOE, the hydrogen fuel cell market is ever-growing across the globe.
    Although hydrogen cannot be a catch-all silver bullet, it serves as a
    conduit for energy storage on a massive scale. An inherent trait of a
    hydrogen economy is that the technology can be coupled to any existing
    power source. Energy from solar, wind, biomass and natural gas can be used,
    as it has been, through the grid. However, if peak energy-production does
    not match peak energy-consumption (as they often don’t), then energy
    produced from uncontrollable wind and solar power goes unused and is
    wasted.

    Using this otherwise wasted power to produce and store hydrogen as a fuel
    to be used later on can dramatically increase the effectiveness of any
    power-generating station.

    The technology already exists in hydrogen generators and fuel cells. Using
    a process known in electro-chemistry as ‘electrolysis’, hydrogen generators
    produce hydrogen from distilled water. This hydrogen is then stored under
    pressure to be used later to generate electricity on demand. When there is
    power demand, fuel cells use oxygen (usually from ambient air) and the
    stored hydrogen to produce electricity. This can be done on practically any
    scale. Hydrogen can power your cell phone, your house, and maybe, someday,
    your city.

    Long story short, hydrogen can make the Green-tech-driven future come much
    sooner by making well-established renewable sources of energy that much
    more effective.

    How do we do it?

    Hydrogen technology is currently heavily dependent upon expensive precious
    metals to operate. Metals such as platinum and gold are used extensively
    throughout these devices. This not only makes them expensive, it also makes
    them highly prone to damage from corrosion in use. Many research projects
    can be found that cite this very problem. They have proposed to use cheaper
    metals such as iron and cobalt as ‘support’ for the more precious metals,
    resulting in a decrease in the required amount. However, this method still
    does not fully address the corrosion problem.

    My proposal: Get rid of the metals entirely.

    Research has shown promising results in metal-free fuel cells by
    substituting very strong, highly conductive carbon nano-tubes. One would be
    hard-pressed to ignore the potential in making fuel cells as common as the
    household AA battery.

16. @Peet: Do your homework b4 you spew irrelevant opinions! Hydrogen NOW!

17. you can make hho with stainless steel and a 12 dc battery and water and
    baking soda it dont take a million dollars dum ass

18. how it come that all inventor of the water fuel as being kill by the oil
    company ho are very mad of that technology?

19. This is simply false. It takes more energy to break apart hydrogen from
    oxygen than you get when you recombine them or even use the hydrogen in a
    hydrogen battery. Just think about what you are saying, if it were true, we
    could build a perpetual motion machine.

20. This is partial disinformation people. We do NOT need natural gas and
    electrolysis to get hydrogen. We can get it from water! The mention of
    “fossil fuel” gives you the clue that this video is trying to manipulate
    people away from the truth.

21. Compressed hydrogen….GIVE ME A BREAK…this is BAD IDEA using bogus
    propaganda to draw financial support from fools in favor of yet ANOTHER
    insane idea. Produce Now/Use Now PN/UN ONLY! Compressed hydrogen is
    extremely dangerous and potentially a population killer if someone learns
    how to detonate such compressed hydrogen gas. NOTHING about compressed
    hydrogen gas makes sense to me…unless the level of compression is so low
    that it simply cannot cause any real damage to life and limb. PEACE!

22. I am well aware that the human race doesn’t know everything and that there
    are unsolved questions. But you made a specific claim that technology
    exists that would allow the recombination of oxygen and hydrogen generate
    more energy than it takes to separate them via electrolysis, could you
    elaborate on what technology is, who has demonstrated it to work and who
    specifically is holding this technology back from the rest of us?

24. Are you for real? If so, what have you looked at thus far?

25. what about this storage method? take hydrogen and mix it with carbon
    monoxide and obtain methan gas which can be stored in the existing natural
    gasdistribution net.
