That is certainly the worst drawback. Most of the other complaints are
minor, such as that the metronome on the front window is uncalibrated and
not easy to get an accurate speed adjustment.
could easily
be modified to run on the hydrogen that it is capable of
producing, unfortunately, the efficiency is too low for it to produce as
much hydrogen as it would require for sustained operation.
Well, if you can make a
system which will burn hydrogen in an engine and
use the resulting mechanical otuput of said engine to run a generator to
electrolyse water to make hyrdrogen and if you end up producing more
hydrogen than you burn, a lot of people will be very interested.
and yet, there are still people buying into devices such as the one that
s'posedly improves gas mileage by using PART of the power to create
hydrogen gas to be used to supplement the petrol in the carburetor!
