Unable to obtain hydrogen by electrolysis is the fuel of the future of the world?

I was thinking that when an electric current passes through water, resulting in its components, oxygen and hydrogen. Why can not the oxygen used to burn hydrogen? I'd just get water again. This combustion is explosive, I know – but then again used rockets from space programs can be saved from the sea and are used to build them. Then energy can be harnessed and used to power aircraft and future inventions surprising. Why not? This would be about the eradication of need for petroleum fuels. I know this is a really weird question for a thirteen year old to ask, but there is nothing or no one else to go in search of answers. Do not keep making pessimistic arguments. Decree laws of aeronautics that a bee should not be able to fly because their wings are too small, but flies anyway because no one knows.

Hydrogen certainly offers great promise, but there are some significant technical obstacles. On the one hand, H atom is very small. Metals and alloys and plastics often used for storage and pipelines etc. deisel or gasoline or natural gas or propane or acetylene, all kind of look like a sponge H. In fact, certain metals are used in solid form as a filter to purify H because H atoms diffuse and larger through atoms and molecules can not. When atomic hydrogen is found in many metals, metals become brittle (hydrogen embrittlement). These materials potentially challenges impact every step of the economy since the HH gas must be produced, stored, distributed to where it is used, etc. is also the question of how to generate the energy needed to split the H2O in the first place. Nothing is 100% efficient, so if you burn coal to produce electricity to produce H2 gas, the planet is better if you only use the coal to produce electricity? Fuel cells are also an interesting option that we have more 100 years of experience in design and construction of internal combustion engines and have produced literally thousands of millions of units that have operated perhaps for thousands of millions of hours, that is, well understood technology. the fuel cell technology is still very new. Certainly not to be pessimistic, but it is important to be realistic and aware of the difficulty of the task ahead. This is not a strange question at all. If you want to know where to get real answers (and Yahoo is not the actual place of complete responses), consider following engineering as a profession. Indeed, our understanding of aeronautics ago to understand and explain how bumblebees fly.
