I started out with a simple statement about fireplaces and how they "aren't the first choice for heating one's home". That is to say that I don't care what people use as a "fireplace". Wood, gas, HYDROGEN; The point that I was trying to make is that when it comes to a fireplace, I'm not sure h

And you could quadruple the space heat by using such high quality energy as the electrolyzer uses to run a heat pump. Using electricity even as resistance heat is wasteful. To halve it in an electrolyzer compounds the problem. Commerce is not the test. We have all seen foolish products that are

I understand that hydrogen flames are pale, hard to see, and emit much less radiative heat than flames from the combustion of carbon and its compounds. I don't think a hydrogen fireplace would satisfy those who wanted a fireplace for the colour and play of its flames and the radiated heat. In a tr
