C'mon CNBC, 1 min, unskippable ad before this?

[@Orbital_Inclination]

TH-cam decide the ad policy, not CNBC

Does it pass the SFA test (Suitable, Feasible, Acceptable

[@stachowi]

you still need electric to make the hydrogen... but yes, this is neat tech.

[@tonykilleen8387]

A year maybe?

[@davidsimmons8447]

This is stupid.

[@Orbital_Inclination]

Why?

[@1ndragunawan]

​@@Orbital_Inclination Nearly all of the world's current supply of hydrogen is created from fossil fuels.

[@Orbital_Inclination]

@@1ndragunawan correct. However, an average jet engine is between 20-40% efficient. A modern gas power station is 70% efficient, and many nations have a lot of renewable grid supply too.

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

@@Orbital_Inclination It's stupid because it's never going to be a viable technology.

[@Simon-dm8zv]

@@Orbital_Inclination Correct, but an electrolyzer is 80% efficient, compression also about 80% and the fuel cell is only 50% efficient.
