As a result you not only need a bigger fuel tank for hydrogen, because you have to burn 3 times as much to release the same amount of energy, you also need much bigger engines, since the amount of fuel you can burn is directly linked to the amount of air passing through the engine (stoichiometric ratio)

I'm confused because I thought amount of cathode or anode you put into a battery was dependent on the stoichiometric amount needed for the anode and cathode to be used up completely in a reaction, not on the capacity for the battery you are making.
