Answer by  HugoCogsworth (7)

I would build a hydrogen fuel cell. It's a relatively easy project to do with inexpensive materials. The most expensive might be just some platinum wire (or some other metal wire coated in platinum). Definitely relevant, because it has to do with alternative fuel sources, which is a very big topic in this day and age.
