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?"

    the US sucks.

    Watch for the door on your way out.

    Seriously though, be sure to compare USA vs. Malaysia before moving, or, indeed, before making such statements. There are also other concerns, but you probably don't care.

    No, there is no chance in a properly engineer application for hydrogen to make this house go BOOOM!


    Sort of like the Space Shuttle. Twice. Just like Three Mile Island. Certainly Ford Pintos never went BOOOM!

    Assuming there is "no chance in a poperly engineered application for hydroden to make this house go BOOOM!," what is the chance that the application will not be properly engineered for economic or other reasons... including hubris?

    Let me guess. If it does go "BOOOM" then it was, of course, not properly engineered. In other words, you have stated a tautology.
