   I agree. I have a question. I’ve been playing with some H2 and HHO generators. I actually got an H2 equipped 1988 Honda Accord with over 150,000 miles, at the time, with a carb and a transaxle that was slipping and dripping from the moment that I purchased it from a neighbor on the cheap, to achieve an even 50 mpg between Wewoka, OK and Ada, OK, when I re-topped her off on the way to Dallas, after visiting relatives in Wewoka. I haven’t played with the electronics of the HHO. Any tips, or links?

   Go, Merchant Marines. I’m in the process of doing something similar, actually. On a serious budget and with a lack of help and assistance, but that’s what is so good about the Internet and YouTube, right? Very nice. I’m going to have to do it a bit differently, but there are many similarities. Great job, guys. Thanks for posting this, too.

   So the Hydrogen gas, When used to make electricity is sent to a generator then the exhaust or water is sent back to the collection tank? i missed the generator i guess? ?

   I like it, thanks for posting it up here, good food for thought.
   I just hope pv panels come down in price, I had to save up and spend over $900 for the single 85W 5Amp panel which tops up my 3×110Ah batteries! The 600W limit of my 12V dc/ac converter lets me run all my energy saving lights, tv etc ok for a time but i’m finding space heating, hot water and cooking are the really difficult ones. (btw, as an aside, i’ve read a Ballard 1.3kw fuel cell uses 19 litres of hydrogen a minute!!!!)

    it’s good … it’s rough and a bit sprawled out but do a search for the first transistor and you’ll begin to get a sense of how much more compact and intelligent this system will become.

    Hey can we see a bit more on your hydrogen sytems. I cant wait until tech. like this is commonplace for all construction. SUN as power great who would have thought that. HMMM maybe plants for millions of years. I just dont know why we take so long to catch on.

    The garden looked pathetic. Engineer wiz kids who obviously don’t know a thing about growing food.

    The hot water heater is also quite easy… leave a black garden hose out in the front yard on a sunny day for an hour and then turn the water on and watch it burn you hand.

    The hydro gas sounds interesting but looks dangerous as hell… hope the house doesn’t ever catch on fire, eh?

    the recycled cardboard looked pretty cool imo.

    Exelente trabajo, lo que estos cromañones no saben es que en menos de 5 años surgiran multiples fabricantes independientes que estandarizaran y perfeccionaran el sistema haciendolo mas eficiente y mas viable, no solo para viviendas sino que tambien para vehiculos tal y como ya esta ocuriendo gracias al you tube, este es el foro para exponer documentales e intercambiar ideeas que cambiran la forma de obtener energia, for all those negative people, the war and the oil.

    LOL, so many neg comments ,these are people thinking
    outside the box , may work may not , but its another thought on how we can stop using oil , nat gas , or coal , what have you done ?
    I thought it was a great look at yet another but costly way to move foward .

    It doesn’t. The solar water heater does just that – it heats cold water to make hot water for use in the home. It replaces the homes water heater. Solar to heat is very easy and can be 90%+ efficient. Solar to electric is ~15% efficient.

    It isn’t really a home, as no one lives in it. I’m wondering if this is how they were able to surmount the typical government or local restrictions, as this is only a demonstration home. ?
