Hydrogen Engine - exhaust waste - water or ice

Hydrogen Engine - exhaust waste - water or ice or steam.

Completes a cycle of energy and resource.

Not 100% recovery as there would be other losses.

If steam is the exhaust then a vapour condenser block would be an additional option.

More engineering for an engineering game.

No, Deon, in a world where a hydrogen engine produces more energy than is needed to produce hydrogen from water, it would mean creating a "perpetuum mobile."

Deepl translator must have failed, NOT asking for over unity.

Not asking for unity either.

What is the difference between losing "everything" or just part of it? And what is the difference between "losing only part of it" or losing nothing?

What is the point of a hydrogen engine in a spaceship? Wouldn't it be better to use a steam engine instead?

Waste water and heat is good for the plants in the greenhouse.

Steam engines, turbines, super steam, zero point steam, steamy steam, steam with spam and beans.

If CO2 exists in game, then that too.

Could have hydrogen fuel cells, but...boring.

Now...everything....where does it all come from?

Where does all this come from? Usually from ignoring the elementary laws of physics.

From ignoring the laws of conservation—conservation of mass, conservation of energy, and conservation of momentum.

The laws of physics can be "bent" or "adapted" in a game, but they cannot be ignored. And it is absolutely essential that the rules (laws) be consistent and apply to everyone and everything.

The laws of physics are only working models, as our understanding of nature evolves and our models evolve with it. Currently there have been observations putting some physical constants into doubt, constants themselves demonstrate our lack of knowledge and of physics yet to be discovered.
