The problem with the method may be the need to constantly supply a long
aluminum wire and the handling of the left over aluminum oxide. Remember
that the pure aluminum is obtained from the electrolysis of the naturally
abundant aluminum oxide compound. This method of producing hydrogen can
hardly be economical to run an automobile.
