Editorial comment: If you will notice the applications of this technology
are for rockets, space travel and military. NO WHERE does it mention that
this technology is applicable to home use and would give everyone a free
source of energy.

It wasn't mentioned because Hydrogen Peroxide is not a "free source of energy".
H202 is not found naturally in large quantities so it has to be *manufactured*
and it takes expensive energy to manufacture it.

Hydrogen Production
http://www.eere.energy.gov/hydrogena...roduction.html

That isn't hydrogen peroxide production and of the six methods mentioned in that
article for producing hydrogen alone, only the photobiological one is "free" in
the sense that it doesn't need an external artificial power source to work
(sunlight is considered free). The production of hydrogen peroxide would only
add to that because it is a multi-step process that consumes alot of external
artificial power to work.

But is one hell of a lot more efficient than burning petroleum products and
fossil fuels! And it's NON POLLUTING.

The only problem with hydrogen peroxide fuel cells for home use or burning
hydrogen to create electricity is that it puts the oil companies out of
business and would wreak havoc in a capitalistic economy....

......burning hydrogen or h2o2 fuel cells would redistribute the world's
wealth in a very short time.
