        Dr. B, I think that you are very inspiring, with the persistence you have shown in the 50 whole years you and your team have taken to make the Hydrogen car, and with the withering amount of gasoline that powers cars, I hope that Hydrogen powered transportation is the future.

        Hydrogen is a vry small molecule… it leaks easily, readily. makes storage and transport difficult.

        you answered all my questions from September, Thank you. why don’t you let plasma the forth state of matter heat it up, if that takes too much energy you could make a circle like aria were the elections of hydrogen would want to escape from the protons of another molecule creating friction between the circle. if that doesn’t work you could use HYDROGEN 3!!!! the best hydrogen for this!!!!
