Re: Clean energy
Not read the link but its very easy to split water using an arc welder.
Cathode, anode, water, and electrcity = hydrogen and oxygen
Burn one- it re-combines to get water.
Make the braking system KERS
Make the ignition system from solar powered, job done

In your example, where does the electricity come from for the first step?

Re: Clean energy
Hmmm... I admire the plan, but if you've got solar cells, why not just use the electricity from that, or store it in a battery for use later?rumpoldstilskin wrote: Solar cells
Copy and paste from elsewhere so I don't get figures mixed up...
'Electrolysis is about 70% efficient (30% of the energy used is wasted). This is much less efficient than batteries.
Fuel cells are then only 40% to 60% efficient and waste heat is generated. If the waste heat is used as well, overall efficiency at point of generation can be greater, but the theoretical maximum is 85%. At minimum, 15% of stored electricity is thrown away. In reality, no automotive fuel cell captures the waste heat, so 40% to 60% of the stored electricity is thrown away. If the hydrogen is burned in a Carnot or steam cycle, then efficiency is even lower than via a fuel cell, closer to gasoline where efficiency is in the range of 20%.'
