Winter heating systems
I've been following the discussion here on burning hydrogen for fuel in a car.
Since the experts are predicting this coming winter is going to cost the average home $5000 to heat with oil, I'm looking at replacing our old inefficient oil fired furnace with a high efficient gas furnace.
Then I started thinking of the possibility of using the Hydroboost theory to use for a heating system.
I was thinking on the grounds that the new energy efficiant refrigerators use lower power compressors and they actually run more but use less energy. If you have a low powered furnace the burns at a slower rate but for a longer period you wouldn't need a large quantity of hydrogen at one time.
Are there any experts here in the home heating field who might have seen or heard of doing this. Just generating the hydrogen on demand, not storing a large tank of it?
Can the hydrogen generate enough heat to heat an average home?Dan
