For you Chemistry Majors out there, all this talk about using hydrogen for fuel got me thinking:
Water can be separated into its base elements - Hydrogen and Oxygen.
The Hydrogen is used as fuel, and the Oxygen is released into the atmosphere.
Oxygen can burn as well, correct? Or is that a specific type of Oxygen (respirators and such that have labels warning against open flame)?
How much Hydrogen and Oxygen can be extracted from 1 gallon of water?
Since water is made of 2 parts Hydrogen and 1 part Oxygen, can you convert 1 gallon of water to 2 gallons of hydrogen and 1 gallon of oxygen? If so, and if oxygen can be burned as fuel, that's 3 gallons of fuel right there.
