Either way....THAT’S COLD!!!!

Pretty good! Thanks for supplying a lot of information. It sure beats a short diatribe many others will offer.

cut down on global warming and greenhouse gas emissions.

Article begins with a lie.

If this technology pans out

Oil companies have found that when they place bacteria in old empty oil wells it turns into a hydrogen gold mine.

Seen on a science site maybe science alert?.

You’r going to need a smaller boat.

i thought the salt battery had a size problem as in way too big to power a vehicle

They solved that: The vehicle tows a trailer containing a 200-gallon tank of saltwater.

Salt is an acid and I’m not aware of any salts being a base.

Salts are NOT acids (= proton-donors). Saltwater has a pH of 7.

...and the company only needs a few billion dollars of tax dollars to make the technology work.

It would be nice if people stop falling for these scams.

[Organic Panic]

It certainly sounds like a scam to me. There are few things better suited for transportation than liquid hydrocarbons. Nothing really.

Doesn't salt in the water gum up the pistons?

[Rappini]

As long as the water doesn’t touch the batteries.

Commercial 0.9% saline solution for infusion has a pH around 5.5. Ocean salt water pH varies. (My chem is very rusty; had to look it up.)

[Silentgypsy]

Sure is purty.

Oh yeah? Well I once had a submarine fueled by baking soda and vinegar that would cruise and even submerge in my tub!

[nicollo]

Hmmm... a gallon of salt water, or a gallon of gasoline? Which has more energy?

(Btw, takes equivalent of 26 gallons of hydrogen to match 1 gallon of gasoline.)

[Chode]

OH Yeah...

[kosciusko51]

(Btw, takes equivalent of 26 gallons of hydrogen to match 1 gallon of gasoline.)

How much does that gallon of hydrogen weight compared to gasoline? Also, what is the pressure and temperature of the hydrogen used for the comparison?

[HangThemHigh]

The energy has to come from somewhere & you are correct, you will pay for that (& likely pay dearly & stand in line to do it).

V_TWIN - Harley I guess? That is a cool way to make CO₂.
