In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine
Yellow submarine
And our friendssss are all aboard

Thanks John, Paul, George, and Ringo. I know when you heard this song when it hit the radio waves in 1966 YOU asked, hey? How do yellow submarines keep oxygen? With all their friends aboard? Well I’ll tell ya.
ELECTROLYSIS! Yes! A green hydrogen call back from the chemistry post thats a call back from dolla dolla bills yalllll!!!!!! Callbackception.
To better explain the concert of hydrogen being used in energy generation, I want to appeal to you, the reader. A child? Or for my friends reading, you have an interest in oxygen on a submarine because of the billionaire sub that imploded. Anywho, this is how subs get oxygen.
First salty sea water is purified, through a distillation process. Then electricity passes through the H2O splitting the hydrogen and the oxygen. The oxygen as a gas is then breathed in by humans. The hydrogen as a gas is vented overboard is burned up to aid on board systems.
My point is, this technology is already being used, it’s a matter of time when it is used in the utility scale energy generation space. IF WE can power the electrolysis using green energies (wind solar etc) or even blue (natural gasses) we will have an near infinite energy source (assuming we’re using salt water – i guess the ultimate call back to dolla dolla bills yall? Can’t waste fresh water.) It will require us to also pipe this cracked hydrogen and oxygen as gas separately of course until they are recombined. Maybe pipe it liquified? Can’t exactly pipe around hydrogen as a gas for a few reasons, biggest being it’s combustible with oxygen. A simple crack in a pipe would cause a nuclear level fallout.
Idk this is a real head scratcher for me. Nonetheless, a fun topic
And a great fucking tune
