o, and technically, the hydrogen would not explode.. unless you arranged for atom splitting. all ten tanks put together would not match the explosion of a BBQ propane tank, and if it were to happen the fire cloud would simply rise and dissipate, not spread like a bomb or anything...id be more worried about the service station 3 locks away.. ;)

i agree with harvelit! i think this is awesome, and believe me when i say that it wont be long before this will be possible for everyone. remember in the 80s when we would watch these amazing innovations on Beyond 2000 and Discovery, and we would say "how frEEAkin cool would that be?" .. this is a step toward the bigger picture :)

To the people that bash on this guy. Ok, so we cant pick up today and do this realistically to homes for financial reasons but every prototype is much more expensive that future generations of the product. Things get cheeper with mass production and people get better at making things more efficient. With out innovation and prototypes where would we be?

Oh, and R22 is *terribly* for the environment. Really really really bad, look it up.

With current technology, it takes 7-8 years for the energy used to make the solar panel equal the energy obtained from its use. Panels last 20-25 years. Batteries like the ones in his battery bank last between 6&8 years before needing to be replaced. Oh, and this would *never* work in Canada where in many cities (Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon) have average winter temperatures of -15C or colder.

No. Those hydrogen tanks are low pressure. Falling trees wouldn't do a thing. It's a whole different story with fire, though :D

You are doing great. Finally someone who really prooves that it IS possible!

PrometheusLoire (December 15, 2008 at 6:00 am)

20-25 years bub. Solar panels continue to get cheaper and cheaper as the years go by too. He has already recouped the costs of many parts of his system, as well.

PrometheusLoire (December 15, 2008 at 5:58 am)

Insurance buddy.

crazy650c (December 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm)

Yeah, with a grant and donations....translation...it cost a fortune and anyone would be nuts to try this themselves. Coal, oil, nuclear...they are the way to go.

redicety12 (December 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm)

I doubt he will ever re-coup the cost of this system, solar panels are only good for so many years then have to be replaced.

not to be a pessimist but if the forest around his house was burning and on fire and one of those huge trees fell on the hydrogen fuel tanks they would explode and therefore everything that he had would be gone....

I like Mike he did something about it he can add another step and store the oxygen and sell that too. There is a man that made an airplane that runs on battery it can fly for 1.5 hours prior to needing a charge with a system like this he could live where a thief would have to visit your home with an airplane most criminals aren't that sophisticated they can barely get a car let alone a plane. Besides you would know they were coming if you had your own airport. Remote guardrail could stop planes.

Do you still have access to the oxygen pipe? Then try to breathe it in, this is one of the funnies drugs ever! Don´t worry, once is ok :-)

austinmk (November 25, 2008 at 3:41 am)

The question is how much did he spend on all that stuff? probably a lifetimes worth of electrical bills...

mrav8r (November 25, 2008 at 3:33 am)

Has something happened to the audio? I hear the intro guy but Mike's audio is mute...?

Maskuerade (November 23, 2008 at 6:46 pm)

typo - i meant "no disrespect to this man" not "no disrespect this mna" lol...

Maskuerade (November 19, 2008 at 2:36 am)

ahhh my eyes... over kill.. no disrespect this mna!! He is at least doing something, unlike most of us... like me... Wish i had the money - But it really does overkill the idea of solar energy. all those panels on his roof.he could get the equivalence of that amount of energy from all those panels if he updated. Allot.&implemented the other forms of converting and harvesting solar energy&only take up one meter of his roof space. this must be 5 years ago. i bet his house isn't a mirror now

Functional but way too ugly and improbable for the average Homeowner to operate. I do like all the gadgets though...

lonecrusader08 (November 15, 2008 at 3:00 am)

Wow!!!!! If every house had that setup it would put the electrical comanies out of buisness. If a storm comes through it wld put people without power.

HHO - Brown's gas is different to plain ol Hydrogen I think.
The Hindenberg blimp was Hydrogen I think.
HHO is pretty wild though. Love that cutting torch that feels 'tingly' to the touch, but turns a metal ball glowing hot in seconds. cool

ericm1016 (November 12, 2008 at 1:43 am)

How much did the house cost?

Michael Strizki is living the dream.

planetxsearchforthet (October 25, 2008 at 7:32 pm)

I loved your maths they are correct only thing is hydrogen implodes. so you'll find the blast radius of these tanks is actually less than if they we're filled with gasoline or lpg/propane. I burn hho to heat my house and cook. through modified convetional boilers and cookers. 1kw electric makes 1850liters of hho in an hour.

suntzu1985 (October 19, 2008 at 9:34 pm)

actually a large percentage of old electronics are recycled at these third world countries to recover the precious metals contained in the electronics. the simple fact is that economically solar hydrogen is unfeasible at a large commercial scale due to the scientific, engineering and technical difficulties that must be solved. it is roughly 50 to 100 years away from being practical at today's level of technology.
