Anyone else seen the recent research about the PSII (photosynthesis
II) protein. I would assume that mass production of this protein, or a
simpler version tailored to our needs, could begin within the next
decade. This would provide the most fuel efficient set up I can think
of. You could have water stored in a tank (that's easy) and have a
panel on the roof of the car similar to a solar panel filled with the
protein and run water through it to get hydrogen. However the storage
of the separated components is still an issue.
