Hydrogen rocket

Just turn it! By turning you make electricity. This splits water into 2 types of gas: hydrogen and oxygen. If you press the green button, the gases are mixed and ignited. BANG! The rocket flies into the air.

Real rockets also sometimes use hydrogen as fuel. When launching, liquid hydrogen and oxygen are pumped to the engines. There they evaporate and ignite. That provides enough power to shoot the rocket into space.

Hydrogen for ships

There are already ships that run on hydrogen. In the Port of Antwerp there is even a real hydrogen filling station.

The advantage of hydrogen as a fuel? No harmful substances are released during combustion. So, better for the environment and the climate!
