8. The aluminum is just fuel produced by consuming LARGE amounts of electricity.
And NaOH is produced mostly by electrolysis as well.
Basically, you've found a way of shipping electricity from the power plant to your car. And all the Al2O3 needs to be recycled, or the process becomes fantastically expensive. Aluminum is cheap *ONLY* because ~90% of the metal is recycled.
What you have here is just another fuel cell, but one with notable disadvantages.
