[ausev] hydrogen efficiency

[m. edmund howse]

Hydrogen bonds readily to make compounds like water and doesn't like to 
exist as an element.
but in the process of bonding to Oxygen to make electricity as in a fuel 
cell it needs a catalyst.
I can't believe hydrogen if set free could escape the atmosphere, too 
many catalysts in it for Hydrogen to escape. and then there is always 
gravity, etc.
