The book advocates hydrogen fuel as the best long-term alternative to fossil fuels and as a way to stop polluting the air and subsidizing terrorists. Shows how to generate hydrogen by electrolysis, how to convert an internal combustion engine to hydrogen, and how hydrogen can be used in home appliances.

How to build a smoking crater with H2,
By greg@bluemtn.com (Shoal Creek, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fuel from Water: Energy Independence with Hydrogen (Paperback)
As an engineer who both uses hydrogen and can work the math, I'm astonished that no one has corrected Peavey. He mixes units, get equations wrong and just plain can't spell. A decelerating engine is "braking" not "breaking", for example. His thermodynamic computations are often wrong once you work them out, his "borrowing" of other sources is painful where "propane" was not changed to "hydrogen" is all cases in a paragraph. Incredible. This text is very nearly the "Anarchist's Cookbook" of renewable energy -- there's a lot of words, some of it correct, but someone's going to get badly hurt if they actually follow this guide. All that, and a decade out of date to boot. If Amazon would take the book back, I'd gladly send them the ashes from the woodstove.

Poorly written college paper in form of cheap book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fuel from Water: Energy Independence with Hydrogen (Paperback)
This is an old college technical paper, put together to look like a book.It is very poorly written, but probably technically correct. The book jumps around with no particular sequence or direction. If you are not an electrochemical engineer in training who likes really bad diagrams ( bordering on hand written ) and REALLY TERRIBLE photographs ( which look like somebody's 3rd pass Xerox copies of twenty five year old black and white photos ) you will not like this book. It may be of assistance to a engineering student, who may need some of the obscure tables and reeeeally bad graphs. It looks like this guy printed this on a Commodore 64, in his basement,,,, him self,,,,, twenty years ago!!!!!!! The technical knowledge is there, but the book is a REEEEEALLY out of date, poor quality, and a piece of CRAP. But it's a great buy if you are looking for the spark gap setting for a 1977 Cadillac running a hydrogen conversion kit on a gasoline engine!

High Density Information In Plain English,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fuel from Water: Energy Independence with Hydrogen (Paperback)
I learned more in five minutes of reading this book than in months of wading through subject indexes in the library (much of the information cannot be found with on-line sources). More people should be made aware of the ideas this book offers in helping solve the world problem of energy. Fuel From Water is what I was looking for and I will put it to good use. Having always been interested in alternate energy sources, and since I am involved in electronics manufacturing, I find the production of electrical energy a fascinating subject. Peavey has done much of the work for me. A friend borrowed the book. He was thrilled to find that much information in one volume. He didn't return it. He just handed me the money to buy another.
