I wish I got to do fun little projects like this at my job. Anyway, this proof of concept shows that hydrogen would be a great alternative to propane and natural gas for cooking. Hat tip to @hypx@mastodon.social.

Yeah batteries would probably work. A large battery bank can have 1kwh of capacity, and induction stoves are about 1.5kw. Which means you could run a stove for about 40min. You could bring more for longer. I'm sure by the time you can't get propane, batteries will have gotten much better too.

That's a lot of future e-waste to lug around just for cooking.

As opposed to a lot of super compressed gas to haul around? I didn't think this super niche use case justifies a whole different technology.
