I wish I got to do fun little projects like this at my job. Anyway, this proof of concept shows that hydrogen would be a great alternative to propane and natural gas for cooking. Hat tip to @hypx@mastodon.social.

The best way to store and transport hydrogen is to combine it with carbon so that it becomes a convenient liquid fuel. As a bonus, then you don't even need fuel cells to make electricity from it, but can instead simply burn it in something called an "internal combustion engine"

This is just synthetic fossil fuel with extra steps. Lol.

Exactly.

Hydrogen is mostly a greenwashing scam; it isn't any better than what we already have.

Nah, combustion engine is just one step up from the steam engine, such a wasteful technology, should long be in a museum.

First thing i think about in using a hydrogen-carbon fuel, is fuel cell (no better word for "Brennstoffzelle"?) to create electricity. Next up a steam turbine.

we do call them fuel cells
