- pvaldes 7y agoEasy to store in form of water as long as we could create it when needed, but water is heavy as fuel so it cancels the floating effect. An airbag for airplanes that would create a floating bag of hydrogen in seconds helping to do a safe landing would be awesome on the other hand. We could use the extra oxygen for masks also.
- layoutIfNeeded 7y agoSorry but these “ideas” are reddit tier naive... I recommend you researching the topic of water splitting.
- pvaldes 7y agoI'm only rambling. Sometimes is useful for finding new ways to crash things. Okay... lets see. Water splitting recipe: 1) Put water in a recipient with a pinch of salt, 2) add electricity, 3) hydrogen will float upwards and must be recovered in a different recipient or if mixed again with the oxygen could explode. Anything else that we would need to take in mind? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZJEDe_HUcw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZJEDe_HUcw
- gus_massa 7y ago> 2) add electricity, This is the part you are underestimating. You need a lot of energy to produce the lot of electricity that is necessary to split the water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. You will need very big batteries, or some other source of energy like a big solar power plant.
