So we used too much linseed oil, so we had to burn it off so we could recoat it with a lighter gunoil.

    Solar oven isn’t a possibility? I was always wondering why it’s not something done to crack the molecule, I don’t think you can make something greener than a bunch of mirrors oriented on one spot

    Also, couldn’t it be offshore? Making drinkable water as a bonus? I guess I’m missing so much knowledge on this because in my head it’s like just perfect, well too perfect to be real

      As far as I’m aware, heating water with mirrors will just get you some really hot steam. I don’t think it’s feasible to split hydrogen from water using heat. Please let me know if I’m wrong.

        You can get green hydrogen via electrolysis using power from green sources such as wind and solar. I don’t thinknits practical to do via heat at all. Though not much hydrogen is produced like this most coming from ‘blue’ and ‘grey’ sources which are just greenwashing attempts from fossil fuel companies.
