we've seen all this before on this forum with somebody attempting to justify onboard electrolysis to provide hydrogen. Unfortunately as HP and Ainar point out you need a lot of power in the first place and it doesnt meet the laws of physics as we know them.

And people of a certain age stare at it with a wistful look in their eyes that clearly says…I had one of them. And I sold it because of the kids

The article is bollocks in that makers claim its a form of battery. The makers are full of it as well as the description of the performance of the battery doesn't sound likely at all... Now for something really amazing .... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/08...mars_in_weeks/

I do wonder, why not get a chunk of metal, put in a set of slide rails with two electro magnets, one at each end. Slowly pull the chunk of metal to it's full extent. Then wack on the electro magnet and let it clang into the other end. ... Instant go ... Last edited by Stevie; 8th August 2014 at 01:52 PM.
