How is this possible /sci/? What chemical reaction is powering this?

He's using a car battery to do electrolysis and then burning the hydrogen. This is stupid because it would be much more efficient to just cut out the middleman and use the electricity from the battery to power the bike directly. It doesn't really run on water, it runs on electricity with water as a middleman.

Hmm... I wonder if you could just attach a bunch of solar cells to the back of the bike and just charge the battery as you go...

You would need more than a bike's worth of space...

How much would it cost to build this, just out of curiosity?

My guess is about $15,000, just based off of the output.

LOL, this is at best a slight waste of energy and water
