Solar-Hydrogen Eco-House

Posted by michael on from the just-add-sunshine dept.

Cymage writes "An architect in Malaysia has built a Solar-Hydrogen Eco-house, the first in the world that is fully self-sustainable and runs entirely on hydrogen. The house has an electrolyser to generate hydrogen that runs off of solar panels, then that hydrogen is used for heat and electricity for the house. Pretty cool stuff. I wonder how long before a kit is ready to convert regular houses?"

    Cool house, energy storage idea, but... It's hard to take seriously a professor who doesn't even know what the air is made of... ""Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the atmosphere. I believe it is the fuel of the future," said Kamaruzzaman." Uh, no it isn't. The atmosphere is %60 Nitrogen, %18 Oxygen, and the rest is Carbon Dioxide and trace gases.
