    I love R.51!!! He is so funny. I also agree that we should make a movie about Dr. Billings and the first hydrogen car.

    Hydrogen fuel has a high energy density, ignoring the weight of the storage tank. It’s better than gas and much better than batteries. Creating the hydrogen gas is akin to inefficiently charging high capacity batteries.

    This is the most interesting Science Live episode I’ve seen yet! Hydrogen is extraordinary! I can’t believe there are so many different sources of it, and that we’ve been living on top of gold hydrogen that has been regenerating right below our feet.
    Dr. Billings truly broke barriers in the science world. The story about the origin of his hydrogen engine made me believe that I can break barriers too. Sometimes what we think is impossible is really just undiscovered.
