Definetely worth it, based on its $1k electrolyzer cost as in the [[Solar Hydrogen Chronicles]]. LE Spicer's system reportedly produces 1/2 cubic foot of gas per hour per cell, and cells are $100 each. 10 cells thus produce 140 liters per hour. Also from Walt Pyle - 6 hours to get one cubic meter with 1000W of solar. Thus the figures agree. 1000 l is about 100 grams of hydrogen, which is respectable for night time power - producing about 1.5 hours of night time power (if needed)
			*Bottom line is designing a system for superefficiency, so that a trickle of power is sufficient.
			*For the ecological aspects, growing biomass or producing methan is a great idea, too. The safest, easiest route is charcoal when complexity is considered and one is inclined to look under the hood.
			*These are all prototype systems, so that an alkaline electrolyzer system could be completely practical and doable with today's technology. It's a worthwhile design challenge.
			*If ecology is considered AND efficiency is considered, it appears that saturated water may be the winner. We still use similar technology - propane tanks.

	*So for example, you can run your [[Honda EU1000] for 16/250 hours or about 4 minutes of run time. Not too bad. If we have an even smaller engine, we could potentially get 16 minutes of run time at a minumum practical storage value for night time storage. The Seed Eco-Home uses 300W of night time backup power.		*So for example, you can run your [[Honda EU1000] for 16/250 hours or about 4 minutes of run time. Not too bad.
