890g for energy system for 45Wh

Lipo pack = ~700g for 90Wh or 72Wh everyday usuable, ~80% charging/discharging efficiency, looks good.

electrolysis efficiency lets say 15% max. Fuel cell efficiency ~50% efficiency rule of thumb. Charging the battery is probably between 80 and 90% efficiency depending on the battery used............

Probably putting in 380Wh of energy to get out a puny 24Wh of energy, plus extra weight, plus puny power... great stuff!

No one else has an opinion on this? Or did I speak for everyone?

While I realize the efficiency isn't there, I think it's cool to see some of the new fuel technologies coming to RC. And the efficiency may get there in time, who knows?
