You said” Liquid Hydrogen is the densest form. It takes about two pounds to make the equivalent energy of one gallon of gas. Two pounds of hydrogen liquid occupy about 7 gallons of space, leak through most materials, cost about $50, boils off about 7% a day when stored in very heavy cryo tanks. Gaseous storage requires even heavier and larger tanks.

Other than that, it's an excellent fuel.”

I pointed out a new Way of doing things (while admitting I was not an expert, and saying I was “Cheating” by having talked to the inventor’s brother)

You said “MIT degree, 27 years working with hydrogen fuel at NASA KSC.

Great!

So, does this process I linked you to work? What are its flaws? Can they be fixed? Will it be cost effective? How long to build it (if it’s going to be worth it)? If you’ve got the expertise, share…

Or do you mean “Hey I’ve got a degree, so don’t question me or confuse me with the facts!”

(When I put together a team I like to have 4 degrees and two self taught geniuses It’s entertaining and they bring out the best in each other, structure, and outside the box solutions)
