How did the battery get it's energy? From being charged by the hydrogen running the engine's generator.

You cannot get more energy out of a system than you put into it.
That would be creating energy and violate 1st law.
Energy can neither be created or destroyed. It can only be tranformed from one form to another, and always at a lost of usable energy.
2nd law.
It never fails. Every time I get the slightest frustration with mainstream media, I come here. Every time I have the slightest doubt about an energy related issue, I go to the PO forums. Better than the oil drum because it is more dynamic (but nothing against the oil drum, masters at their craft as well).
Thank you guys, you always tell it like it is and you leave the masses KO'd like a has been boxer going up against Peak Oil Godzilla.
It must be really tiring for you engineers, physicists, electricians and other analysts to hear the same arguments over and over and over.
Your efforts are not wasted. The archives are full of your corrections and people take your advice to the bank. Or rather, they empty their bank because they know the truth about the failing fiat currency and they are going into silver and gold.
