science of hydrogen

    I was thinking about science and figured it would be possible to make a plane that runs on hydrogen or oxygen from the
    air the way to do this is to have a hydrogen or oxygen particle separator that purified the nitrogen or oxygen in the air while getting rid of the others and then second of all is you have to have a igniter which would be a spark or flame

    airs chemical composition:

    Nitrogen -- N2 -- 78.084%
    Oxygen -- O2 -- 20.9476%
    Argon -- Ar -- 0.934%
    Carbon Dioxide -- CO2 -- 0.0314%
    Neon -- Ne -- 0.001818%
    Methane -- CH4 -- 0.0002%
    Helium -- He -- 0.000524%

    COMBUSTION

    hydrogen gas (dihydrogen or molecular hydrogen)[10] is highly flammable and will burn in air at a very wide range of concentrations between 4% and 75% by volume.

    if you would think this would work please tell me

    Well, the most obvious way is to have Hydrogen and Oxygen tanks driving a turbine, but that's too expensive as petrol fuels do the same, but at a lesser cost. Although it'll be much more environmentally friendly(creating water in the reaction instead of carbon dioxide)

    but i dont think water generaters would not be able to generate enough power to support a 20,000 pound f-16 falcon fighter...

    Hydrogen burning generates water. So that's your theory you're criticizing.

    yes well i still have much research to do thats why i need help from someone expierenced but it would also burn with a colorless flame so it would be a very environmentally friendly military plane can you pm me?

    There are stuff working off water

    My cousin spoke about some water landmower he/somebody he knows made
    Also some guy planned a car running of water but big petrol compagnies managed to throw him to jail
    I also heard about a farm truck working with water..

    I didn't say I didn't believe it. Nazis were incredible at aerodynamics during WWII, thats why I said that (now I see that it looks kinda sarcastic xD, but I meant that it was true).
