Combine two parts hydrogen with one part oxygen and you get water and a little energy. Unlike traditional hydrocarbon fuels, hydrogen and oxygen do not produce any bad bi-products for the environment. This is an incredible, renewable source of energy. It is also the idea behind fuel cell cars.
Meteorologist Becky Ditchfield at the NBC affiliate in Denver wasn’t so sure about testing this renewable energy source out in the palm of her hands, but she quickly became a believer in the power of hydrogen.

If you know me, you know I don’t do things the easy way. I do things the explosive way. If there is a flame involved, I’m all over it. So I decided to make use of all of the left over Easter eggs this week and crack them with a little fire.
You may not need safety helmets, matches and a little gas to crack an egg, but that’s the way I roll.
First, I poked a hole on each end and blew out the inside. Then I filled the empty egg with a little hydrogen gas and lit it on fire. When the hydrogen burns, oxygen comes into the egg and mixes. When the hydrogen and oxygen mix, you get water while a little energy is released. The energy blows the egg up.
