With the current technology, if you start with a litter of hydrogen, run it thru
a fuel cell, then use the electricity generated to make hydrogen again, how much
hydrogen will you end up with?


What about the other way around, starting with 100 watts of electricity, using
it to produce hydrogen, and then using that hydrogen to produce electricity with
a fuel cell, how many watts can you get back?
