Abstract

Hydrogen is a clean fuel that, when consumed in a fuel cell, produces only water. Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of domestic resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind.

Mixing water with salt, Amber O’Connor shows us in a cool experiment how to make hydrogen! The result should be a pop - can she do it?

  • Amber  O'Conor

    Amber O'Conor

    Siemens

    At the age of 26, Amber works as an Equipment Health Monitoring & Performance Engineer and Remote Diagnostic Services Program Manager. Not only is she able to interpret a gas turbine’s 3,500 data measurements per minute, she leads a team to ensure they’re running faultlessly in every region of the world. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, she’s a mother of two and a champion of diversity. We’re here to see Amber on a typical day, although there’s really no such thing as a typical day for her. "There's always loads of things going on, and I do a lot of juggling. But the challenge really excites me," she says. We follow her as she balances her global projects with her ambassadorial work - as well as parental duties.
