  1. Why buy it when your car can produce it for free?

    I have two tanks installed now. Eight more should give me free fuel.

  2. Liquid hydrogen ranges in prices depending on how it is made, who makes it, and how much you buy.  Typical present costs seem to be around $5.50 per kg.  The density of LH is 0.07 kg/L, so this would be about $0.40 per litre, or about $1.50 per gallon.  It really isn't all that hard to get LH, if you are willing to buy 200 L at a time.

    However, if used as a fuel, that gallon of LH has one fourth the energy of a gallon of gasoline.  The ultimate cost would then be $6.00 per gallon.

    And some other points to consider.  $5.50 per kg is the cost if hydrogen is made from natural gas.  If made from electricity, it jumps to about $7.50 per kg.  Almost no supplier makes hydrogen from electricity.  The price of natural gas also goes up with the price of oil and gasoline.
