• Question: If we start using this method (ferrosilicon) again, does that mean that we could make an 'unlimited' energy supply? Or something similar?

      Well, if you kept on adding more ferrosilicon, water and caustic soda, you could keep on making hydrogen until you ran out of them. So it kind of depends on how much of them you could carry with you – that’s what would limit how much energy you could make. So it wouldn’t be unlimited, no.
