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.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.0 based on 13 reviews)

Comprehensive by R. L. Hulme (New Zealand) 4 Stars
August 12, 2009
This book provides a comprehensive view of the uses for and the production of Hydrogen gas as a fuel. There are hard facts and figures, particularly when making comparisons with other fuels and the way they are used. The author has a clear understanding of the energy field and does not appear to have any bias. This is not an instruction manual on how to run your home or car on hydrogen, but is a good textbook for anyone thinking of using hydrogen as a fuel. Plenty of hard facts and figures, very little waffle.

Interesting Book by The Review Guy (So Cal USA) 4 Stars
February 07, 2009
The internet sites out there that talk about water to gas a either in very simple or extremely hard to understand the benefits and the fuel savings. In this book he puts it in laymen's terms so almost anyone could get it. I think he did an excellent job, and with everything going green he really nailed it with this. It is crammed with difficult to find information on making hydrogen and using it. It would have taken months to find this information on the internet. This book is a awesome deal for how much you will save on fuel. This book will hold it value for sometime. [...]

What a Misleading Title... by J. Stubbs 3 Stars
August 14, 2008
I received the twelve edition of this book, and was disappointed even after I read reviews that gave me an idea of what to expect. The main flaw of this book is that the title does not accurately reflect the information presented in the book. -There is only a short, but detailed section on separating hydrogen and oxygen from water. -Fails to bridge the technical gap between "water powered engines", those that seperate water just prior to combustion, and "hydrogen engines" those that store and use pure hydrogen for combustion. -The majority of the book gives detailed schematics and diagrams of pure hydrogen engines, storage methods, uses, history. -Overall for its cost this book is a good technical reference for people interested in hydrogen as an alternate fuel.

fuel from water ; w. peavey by Kenneth T. Lang (dover, ma. 02030) 5 Stars

Excellent reference source for detailed factual record of progress in the utilization of hydrogen fuel. Collates a wide range of industrial and academic research that has not had high u.s. media visibility. Especially useful index for further individual research.

Give this guy a break by R. R. Lunan (North America) 4 Stars

I too am surprised to see so much negative feedback on this book. On the positive side it is filled with hard to find information on making hydrogen and using it. It would have taken me dozens of weeks to find this information on the web - if I even knew where to look. So at less than $20 this is a real bargain. It reminded me of many forgotten methods of creating hydrogen. This book has real value. On the negative side...Mr. Peavey what were you thinking? You need to hire a good technical editor to remove all the typos. You also need to hire a graphic designer to make this book look good. The information is great for tinkerers and R&D people like myself, but when you package it in such an amateur way it gives the impression that the content also lacks value. If you fix the errors, redesign the book and put it in a hardcover (that cheap laminated cover curls like crazy) you could charge 3 times the price. Just my 2 cents worth.
