Instead, the 51-year-old civil engineer makes all the fuel he needs using a system he built in the capacious garage of his home, which employs <A href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=solar-power-lightens-up-with-thin-film-cells">photovoltaic (PV) panels</A> to turn sunlight into electricity that is harnessed in turn to extract hydrogen from tap water.</DIV> <BR /> Although the device cost $500,000 to construct, and it is unlikely it will ever pay off financially (even with today's skyrocketing oil and gas prices), the civil engineer says it is priceless in terms of what it does buy: freedom from ever paying another heating or electric bill, not to mention <A href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=special-report-<a href='http://www.sciam.com/topic.cfm?id=climate' >climate</a>-change">keeping a lid on pollution</A>, because water is its only by-product.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5383649E-6AA3-4B6D-8232-45A4AA69F1A3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
