hydrogen power is coming...

I mixed a few episodes of Nat Geo's Doomsday Preppers, and have run into a few instances where the featured participants were running some kind of Hydrogen voodoo.

The technology is definitely advancing, but keep in mind if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is...

The specs given (5V 4.5Ah) equals 22.5 Watt-hours. No bad for a power cell that looks (?no specs?) like the size  of an 18650 Li-Ion  which has "only" 12 Wh of capacity. Once you add in the size of the reactor, it's not quite as favorable. However, if you were carrying 5 cells and one reactor, the size advantage swings back. Of course 5 cells and the reactor is probably the size of an NP-1, which can have the same capacity in Li-Ion. Cute idea but the practicality and economics are not overwhelming, IMHO

Best,
