If we store the oxygen as well as the hydrogen in seperate containers, would this increase the efficiency/value? Especially when burning it in a generator, would pure oxygen increase the overall power? It would need to be more metered perhaps to keep th proper ratio. Another concern is the saftey of storing highly concentrated oxygen...
Nevertheless this still is something we should look into and factor into the equations.
