Light Bulb Replacements

Posted by Hemos on from the fixing-new-ones dept.

LoveOO writes Boston.com has a story about three companies which are trying to replace the Light bulb. I say it's about time and what about hydrogen powered vehicles? Two things that annoy me are filling the gas tank and changing light bulbs. It's time we did alot less of both."

    Filling the gas tank is so much worse than filling the hydrogen tank?

    In principle, you could drive your hydrogen-powered car home at night, filling the exhaust tank with water. You could then plug your car in to an electrical outlet, and the water would be electrolyzed to hydrogen and oxygen overnight, filling your fuel tank. Depending on how fast the electrolysis occurred, it probably wouldn't eliminate the need for filling the tank, but fillups could be less frequent under city driving.
