about running a car on hydrogen, energy is produced when hydrogen combines with oxygen and releases heat (the hydrogen burning), the product of this reaction is water. Now to get hydrogen from water you have to reverse the reaction somehow, which means you have to put in the same amount of energy you get out of hydrogen when it burns (in reality its more energy because the processes for getting hydrogen is fairly inefficient). This means that hydrogen isn't so much an energy source as it is energy storage; we'll still need solar, nuclear, or some other source of power to be able to get it. Also, when hydrogen burns, atoms dont split, molecules do. Atoms splitting would be a nuclear fission reaction, which i doubt the ole rotary is capable of creating.
Also, the glass being a liquid thing was just an old rumor. When old glass was produced one end would be thicker than the other, so while some glass is thicker at the bottom, the other half are thicker at the top. Heres a link if you want to read more about it http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Gene...lass/glass.html

Try the web site for the "Millennium Cell" company. They have a fuel cell that runs on a borax compound.(they have a running test bed car.) They will probable get run over by the big car and oil companies, but its a very interesting and safer fuel than hydrogen. Can you picture a car accident with liquid hydrogen!
