Seems cool, although it's quite misleading to say the fuel is generated form water when the energy really comes from sunlight.

- phaemon 11y agoTo keep the nitpicks together, "creating a flow of current" is clumsy: a current is a flow. "Creating a flow of charge" or simply "creating an electric current" would be better.
- JoachimS 11y agoA bit like Feynmans description of burning logs as a way to release stored sun energy. Yes, the energy for splitting the molecule comes from the sun. This makes it possible to store the energy for later release when the captured hydrogen is made to combine with oxygen. So energy conversion into a more useful form. And if one wants to pull this all the way, it really started with other hydrogen atoms that due to gravity was forced close enough to form helium and in the process release photons. Which happened thousands of years and eight light minutes away. So it really is gravity. ;-)
