Hmmm, 2500A at 12V = 30kW ~= 40bhp. Power required to drive an 'average' car at a constant 70mph on the level ~= 30bhp. I'm not really following the thread here, but if anyone really believes you can disassociate hydrogen from water electrically and then burn it again with a net energy gain, I'v

I went on Sunday and to be honest quite enjoyed the show. Agree with all the comments that there wasn't a huge amount there, however the quietness of it all made a welcome change from Stoneleigh and was abvle to have good talks with stand owners etc. Would probably have felt ripped off though h
