Ethanol = higher octane than gasoline = more knock resistance = higher boost = more power = wheelspin = = :bigok:
yep, even more so with hydrogen, which was ther original idea for the nuclear power to refine.

hydrogen is terribly unstable...i think thats his point is that breaking up hydrogen would yield a great power source. you've likely heard of the "H-bomb?" The H stands for Hydrogen.

It's not really possible to break up Hydrogen. It's just a proton.

You have my arguement confused.

I was saying that if nuclear waste was not any issue and it could be perfectly solved then we coudl use nuclear power to extract hydrogen from water and use hydrogen for internal combustion. Its a chain beacause what good is hydrogen fuel if the means for extraction are not environmentally friendly?
