In 2006, Mike took his home off of the electrical power grid. Ever since, he has been generating his own electricity. All of Mike’s electrical power comes from solar energy. He usually generates 160 percent more energy than he needs to power his home. Mike isn’t likely to sell his power to the grid. Instead, Mike uses the excess electrical power to make hydrogen, which he stores in tanks, to run his car on. Mike has proven that it is possible for you to power your home and car from solar power.

MIT Announces Major Breakthrough In Solar Energy Storage
mittechtv on Aug 7, 2008
In a revolutionary leap that could transform solar power from a marginal, boutique alternative into a mainstream energy source, MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn’t shine.

The first video is a prototype not a production system. Its not supposed to be used for mass production for everyone. in fact the guy that made it can’t afford it with out the sponsorship and donations that were explained in the video. Its a test to see how a system like this would work and where are the gaps in the technology. I can’t wait for this technology (or even parts of it) to be available for homeowners. You don’t need to do it all at one time.
The second video shows a brand new technology that did not exist a few months ago. How mature do you expect it to be in such a short time with very little funding and backing? If it proves to be a viable technology then it could greatly increase the efficiency of creating hydrogen.
I think you are very quick to dismiss these ideas.
The first video seems to be an impractical system, over complicated and expense. the second video does the same thin, apparently very simply, but it does give enough details on how this accompublished.
This is one major break through, we just need some more of them.
