Hope he had the Hydrogen container figured out.
We had to buy the Hydrogen Gas EVERY TEN DAYS for testing as it leaked thru every
known container in that period of time.

Example:

Day one: fuel container (say 1000 liters of Hydrogen) is fully charged with Hydrogen gas.

Day 5: half of the gas (500 liters is gone even though we never used a liter of it in
those 5 days

Day 10 the container with FORMERLY 1000 liters of hydrogen is now EMPTY even though
we never used even one liter in testing.

The key is developing a CONTAINER that can trap the hydrogen gas for weeks and not have it disappear. Not there yet.

Do the math: deepest ocean is about 36,000 feet of Water: Hydrogen and oxygen and
some other chemicals based on water contamination.

36,000 times 1 cubic foot of water = 36,000 cubic feet of hydrogen and oxygen.

Think about how many cubic feet of Hydrogen and Oxygen are in the Pacific Ocean by
itself. Too many zeros to post 1,000000000000000000000000000000000000---------

Lots of volume but expensive to convert to oxygen and hydrogen gases.

Hydrogen gets about 1/2 the fuel mileage of conventional fuels so he was full of beans.
