Slightly off topic for this group, but it is not unheard of to produce
hydrogen from photovoltaics.
Jadoo Power seems to be an aggressive manufacturer of consumer based fuel
cells. I could be wrong, but the components and stats seem to almost equal
the price of a solar system. I think they are still too high in price, but
the portability is a plus.
I've always been interested in fuel cells as an alternative to batteries and
I was hoping some of you folks might give me a hint on the up's and down's
of these things.
I'm suspecting the membrane and the catalyst don't last as long as a solar
cell or basic deep cycle battery (read "efficiency") - and, there is that
nasty problem of explosions.
I'm guessing the technology just hasn't hit it's peek yet, but it certainly
would be cool to hear some comments.
