Ultra-light liquid hydrogen tanks promise to make jet fuel obsolete
www.newatlas.com ^ | April 21, 2022 | Loz Blain

A revolutionary cryogenic tank design promises to radically boost the range of hydrogen-powered aircraft – to the point where clean, fuel-cell airliners could fly up to four times farther than comparable planes running on today's dirty jet fuel.

Weight is the enemy of all things aerospace – indeed, hydrogen's superior energy storage per weight is what makes it such an attractive alternative to lithium batteries in the aviation world. We've written before about HyPoint's turbo air-cooled fuel cell technology, but its key differentiator in the aviation market is its enormous power density compared with traditional fuel cells. For its high power output, it's extremely lightweight.

Yes, liquid hydrogen has more energy than the same volume of hydrogen gas. Just a little tougher to handle than gasoline.

Carbon Dioxide from steam methane reforming process and water gas shift reaction.

If they had a conscience, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. They make up facts and believe the lie. Very telling regarding the condition of mankind.

Whatever.... it’s already been proven to work some years back by Meyers. Shortly after his untimely demise, some Dr. dude in England confirmed Meyer’s design as fully operational but could say no more due to threats to himself as well as his family. This BS has been ongoing in my lifetime and I’m sure much earlier (see Nikolai Tesla). TPTB will not allow this tech (nor any other that will benefit mankind as a whole) without their approval and full control.

You may take your arrogance/impotence and shove it where the good Lord split ya cause I could give two shiites about your attitude.

That always seems to be the case. Or the excuse, as one sees fit.

You're right, they will never allow perpetual motion. Bastards!!!

What they won’t tell you is that he was bludgeoned to death with a 100 mpg carburetor.

Don’t miss 104 either!

Put up or shut up. If you can’t do the math to show how it works, you are just another BS artist.

If you compare the energy needed to get the hydrogen even in a perfect system it would just equal the energy you get from burning it. Meaning even if you had a non-existent perfect system it wouldn’t work.

You need a power source to begin with anytime you are dealing with hydrogen. Fossil fuels and nuclear plants are great because you get vastly more energy out than you have to put in. Solar and wind by comparison barely break even. In reality, both are unworkable without a massive amount of power provided by nukes or burning fossil fuels.

But hydrogen, forget about it. Anytime someone like you brings up hydrogen for powering cars I know they have no idea what they are talking about.

Actually, Meyers was poisoned. Speaking of high mpg carbs, I feel for the guy who developed the 200 mpg carb only to be foiled by changes in the gasoline formula.

“Put up or shut up.”

I will do neither as you wouldn’t understand the manipulation of longitudinal energy. It’s old-school Tesla that’s pretty much been forbidden by main stream science and knocks Einsteins as well as Newtons Laws in the dirt.

What you should be asking is: Why would the scientific community at large ignore Tesla’s teachings? After all, our electrical grid (among other things) are a direct result of Tesla.

How did the change in formula wreck his invention? What was the change?

Then perhaps they should work with this new Hydrogen container system.
I’d rather depend on Hydrogen to power my vehicle that use batteries that take time to recharge and ultimately using fossil fuels to create the electricity.

Looks like a cool car.

Did any actually get built?
