Aluminum as Fuel

I know that sounds very strange, and waaaaaay out there, but, yes indeed, it apparently is possible.

Alydro technology
So how does aluminum become a fuel? Through Alydro technology, explains an Alchemy Research white paper.
The system uses only two reactants, aluminum and water. Those are the only two things you'd need to add to an Alydro car, the rest being dealt with under the hood.
Aluminum and water react, and that reaction generates three things - huge quantities of heat--50 percent of the reaction's energy output--aluminum oxide, and hydrogen. And, if you've not guessed already, that hydrogen can then be used in fuel cells, to generate electricity for powering a car.
Refueling would take around 5 minutes according to the paper, to fill the aluminum tank, remove the waste aluminum oxide, and top-up whatever water wasn't replenished by the 65 percent-efficient condenser.
There's more. Surely not an answer, in and of itself, but progress, none-the-less.
