Editorial Reviews: Product Description The book advocates hydrogen fuel as the best long-term alternative to fossil fuels and as a way to stop polluting the air and subsidizing terrorists. Shows how to generate hydrogen by electrolysis, how to convert an internal combustion engine to hydrogen, and how hydrogen can be used in home appliances.

Customer Reviews: Read 6 more reviews... What a Misleading Title... August 14, 2008 I received the twelve edition of this book, and was disappointed even after I read reviews that gave me an idea of what to expect. The main flaw of this book is that the title does not accurately reflect the information presented in the book. -There is only a short, but detailed section on separating hydrogen and oxygen from water. -Fails to bridge the technical gap between "water powered engines", those that seperate water just prior to combustion, and "hydrogen engines" those that store and use pure hydrogen for combustion. -The majority of the book gives detailed schematics and diagrams of pure hydrogen engines, storage methods, uses, history. -Overall for its cost this book is a good technical reference for people interested in hydrogen as an alternate fuel. fuel from water ; w. peavey July 15, 2007 Excellent reference source for detailed factual record of progress in the utilization of hydrogen fuel. Collates a wide range of industrial and academic research that has not had high u.s. media visibility. Especially useful index for further individual research. Give this guy a break November 15, 2006 5 out of 6 found this review helpful I too am surprised to see so much negative feedback on this book. On the positive side it is filled with hard to find information on making hydrogen and using it. It would have taken me dozens of weeks to find this information on the web - if I even knew where to look. So at less than $20 this is a real bargain. It reminded me of many forgotten methods of creating hydrogen. This book has real value. On the negative side...Mr. Peavey what were you thinking? You need to hire a good technical editor to remove all the typos. You also need to hire a graphic designer to make this book look good. The information is great for tinkerers and R&D people like myself, but when you package it in such an amateur way it gives the impression that the content also lacks value. If you fix the errors, redesign the book and put it in a hardcover (that cheap laminated cover curls like crazy) you could charge 3 times the price. Just my 2 cents worth. H 2 brute'? January 12, 2005 This more like a high school paper gone wrong than a serious book for adults. Typical of the nonsense circulating around lately regarding Hydrogen as an alternate fuel. Poor science, terrible reading...... Does not factually deal with the real issues such as cost of distribution, storage and gasification. An insult to any reader with a brain. what the Hydrogen Revolution is about November 15, 2004 15 out of 17 found this review helpful This book has been in publication since 1985? That is quite impressive that he started thinking about this stuff way back then. I can't believe all the negative feedback and this book is in it's 11th edition. If there are so many errors and everyone has the time to write about it here don't you think you could send the author a little note? Like "Hey Mikey, photovoltaic cells are made of silicon and implants are made of Silicone." The book is good as a rough start, I'll admit it has been very helpful to me - a professional engineer. Yes the facts and calculations need to be checked but what facts and calculations don't need to be checked? The web sites out there dealing with this stuff are either so simple that a 5 year old could understand or so in-depth that only someone very familiar with the technology could understand the tradeoffs. This book does a great job at bridging those gaps. With that said, good Job Mikey and to everyone else - if you don't like something fix it, or shut up that's what the Hydrogen Revolution is about people fixing something they don't like.
