I thought that was supposed to be impossible
Nikola is in my neighborhood in South Mountain, Phoenix. They have been struggling, so I hope they pull it off.
Will collision be more dramatic than an EV of similar size.
Just to cover all scenarios they need to crash one each into each other to see what happens.
Can anyone tell us how much energy was expended to create, concentrate and store the hydrogen gas that fuels this vehicle
Sounds like a BLAST!
I hope they screen out the underqualified illegal alien drivers...
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE), also known as hydrogen-assisted cracking or hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), is a reduction in the ductility of a metal due to absorbed hydrogen. Hydrogen atoms are small and can permeate solid metals. Once absorbed, hydrogen lowers the stress required for cracks in the metal to initiate and propagate, resulting in embrittlement. Hydrogen embrittlement occurs most notably in steels, as well as in iron, nickel, titanium, cobalt, and their alloys. Copper, aluminium, and stainless steels are less susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement.
>> Walmart has reportedly deployed its first hydrogen fuel cell-powered Nikola Tre semi truck
Can Harbor Freight hydrogen fuel cells be far behind?
What could go wrong? :-)
Now maybe Fuel Cell (FCEL) will be noticed by invisible contributors (ICs) to members of Congress in the payoff scheme lnown as “Here, buy this!” and waiting until the public jumps on the stock and the IC tells the Congress member, “okay, time to sell that!”
I don’t see this being feasible. Is it just one truck? I guess as large as Walmart is it’s practical to try it out with just one truck to see if it’s better or worse than diesel. Plus the PR Walmart gets to market to lefty Canucks. But it’s a big lie to say it’s better for the environment or that it saves us from our carbon sins or whatever.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It powers stars, and is available in hydrogen clouds which are the birthplace for stars.
So, all we have to do is to either go to one of those hydrogen clouds and bring some of it back, or go into the inside of a star (including our sun), and extracts some of that hydrogen to bring to Earth.
Easy peasy.
Will be available at Walmart in the near future, and cheap.
“… is part of Walmart Canada’s ambitious plan to transition to a 100 percent alternative fuel fleet. “
I love that none of the ernest, busy, idiot drones getting us off evil petroleum understands that as soon as that happens, in this case hydrogen will become the evil thing.
The disadvantage of Hydrogen trucks is how to keep them from floating away.
We will know when hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are ready to break out in a big way as a legitimately competitive, game changing technology ...
... because the enviros will go to war against hydrogen.
Wal-Mart has been using Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powered Forklifts for many years - the Fork Lifts run ok but need more maintenance.
Of course, that would probably present a gigantic headache for the dispatchers, being confined as they would be to which trucks would be sent where, as opposed to sending them where they need to send them.
Or . . . they could just be virtue signalling.
I hope they have an explosive debut, flippin’ people never learn. It takes more legacy fuel to make Hydrogen than the power it provides. MORE CO2, but we do it in style...
