Some Purdue scientists have found a way to run a hydrogen car
on water, but it requires an aluminum substrate doped with
gallium to get the hydrogen out of water. The aluminum
substrate can be restored by reducing the alumina produced.
This is NOT cheap at this time. The chemistry is elementary,
but the engineering to keep aluminum from quickly becoming
inert from a coating of alumina is not.
