If you were to make a wireless shower head, would it have hydrogen molecules and suck in the oxygen from the air to create water? Would you have to recharge it with hydrogen?

    As others have mentioned, pure hydrogen and pure oxygen are both quite flammable. It would be very expensive to extract/filter only the oxygen out of the air while staying portable, but I think we may need to go for a tank-storage design anyways.

    I think you’re better off using hydrogen peroxide from a tank (maybe even a backpack?) and breaking that down into water and oxygen (o2)

      Hidrogen peroxide? That means your wireless shower will be heavier than if it’s actually store plain old water instead.

      Pure Hydrogen peroxide is very reactive. It’d explode or burn in contact with organic molecules, such as skin.

      Solution at relatively low concentration are still hazardous and toxic.

      I would avoid playing with it
