Sounds like the lilttle Insight, that high pitch whine, almost like a small gas turbine spooling up.

By the way, thanks for the Utube tips - was worth watching.

As long as hydrogen is produced by burning natural gas, we're just wasting our time and the same energy we use in cars.

I think the first project should be to solve the production of hydrogen dilemma, then work on the fuel cell.

agree 100%
Why not have a wind tubine installed with every new home, for a starter. Let's demonstrate that we actually wish to change. The wind turbine will pay for itself long before the home life is 50% over. Those wind turbines could produce the electricity needed to generate H2.
