Re: Welding with....WATER???

Hey, I'm not trying to slam anyone or anything, just pointing out some of the background and controversy here. I have no doubt that the hydrogen/oxygen fuel does have specific applications where it is well suited. No doubt more uses will be found for joining dissimilar materials and the like. I'm more than willing to believe in some miracle breakthrough, but it's hard to overlook good, solid, proven science.

As for hydrogen and fuel cells, unless we discover some magic formula, it's basically not much more than a battery. Put energy in to get energy out. Perhaps it can be slightly more efficient, or cleaner, but I'm not all that excited about it.
