Message: Green Hydrogen energy

Hi Bernard, 

This EBH2 technology and its efficiency sounds huge, on the border of sci-fi, as many think it (George including) that it sounds too good to be true.

Could you please clarify if the numbers mentioned in the video and press release, some 2 liters of water for generating 1 Mega Watt of energy over 7 days are accurate? Like not 2 liters per hour or some other compounds that would be required? 

And since electrolysis is the main process, how much electricity would it require ? Were would that come from?

Could you also comment on the following assumptions/calculations from ceo.ca (thanks to posts from pennytodollars and coldandrich)

@pennytodollar The numbers have to be off. A kilogram of hydrogen has approx 33kW of energy. I don't really remember my chemistry well at all, but by weight, water could be at most 60% hydrogen and is in fact much lower (11% or so?) Due to the weight difference between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. So if 2L water is approx 2kg, at most it would be 1.35kg hydrogen (and actually closer to .2kg hydrogen). How do you get a megawatt of power out of an amount of hydrogen that contains roughly 6.6 kilowatts o energy production potential?

@coldandrich @sabbath by the laws of thermodynamics you cannot create more energy from hydrogen than it takes to make it. So why do it for silicon production?

Thank you and congratulations for this (hoping for it to be successful, it could change the world)
