  • What about using house hold food waste?

  • Awesome like in Back to the Future part 2!!!

  • Precisely!

  • and what if this bacteria gets out of the car and goes everywhere else?  sounds like a good idea... but that could be dangerous, no?

  • The bacteria aren't dangerous at all. Your body naturaly has anti-bodies to prevent you getting ill from bacteria entering your system - hell you take in millions every day from breathing and eating.

    anyway, the bacteria would be farmed to get the hydrogen, you wouldn't have a decaying mass of waste in your car to power it - too unreliable.

  • What if the bacteria from you ass got in your eye, you would have pink eye, no?

    Why don't you buy one of those bubbles and seal your self in so all the evil bacteria doesn't eat away all your skin.

  • This is a good answer... but it isn't the best answer... the best answer is for the world to burn our "Toxic-Ocean-Water" clean in in our motors.. cleaning the small "chlorine-Gas" produced by the salt is only too simple..

    Really.. that "Thanks-Giving" feast Mom and Grandma bust out every year is eccentric 10-to-the-3rd more complex than H2O2-disassociation-electrolys­is..

    Get it?? Hoorah.. *XD EARTH2H.. MAJOR_UTAH..OUT......

  • Bah hydrogen, why create a new trillion dollar infrastructure when we could just pure electric vehicles. Besides we already have a huge portable electronics industry investing billions into new battery technology for their devices.

  • The main problem with electic cars is that they still require the power stations, which burn a lot of fossil fuels, to produce the electicity - thus it really isn't much more eco-friendly than petrol. However I see your point, if we created a large hydrogen power station it would be a highly eco-friendly way of powering cars etc.

  • Actually even if you didn't change the source of grid power at all going electric all CO2 emission from cars to 1/3 of what they were, since electric engines are about 3 times more efficient than combustion engines. Besides 30% of new electric capacity added in 2007 was wind, a figure which has been doubling every few years. So by the time electrics start selling all the new generation coming online to charge them will be renewable.

  • hmm true, didn't really think of it like that. I guess it doesn't really matter though, as long as we find some way of cutting down emitions withought just turning off our industry.

  • That in the movie Back to the future 2?

  • Doc. brown was right ;)

  • very nice. but it has to be controlled. if that bacteria is all over the place then it could be dangeruous?

  • the bacterias i think, couldn't be more dangerous than the actual batteries from the cars.

  • whats wrong with using water to produce hydrogen and oxygen?

  • you need electricity to do that I think

  • didn't he say they use electricity to excite the biology?

  • Yes you need electricity, but you get 3 times the amount of electricity you put in! That could mean you can recharge the same battery you used (or a secondary battery and have it switch) while it's running.

  • Really cool news. A solution for easy hydrogen at last!
