It is the cleanest fuel known, it’s cheap...
Blatant lie at the start is not good.
Hydrogen is not cheap. It is quite expensive. Expensive to produced, expensive to store.
I wish it were cheap, but it is not.
The Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen because it was cheap, had better lift and was available to the Nazis rather than our helium which was restricted.
I don’t know how big the conversion plant and reservoir on a hydrogen powered car would be, but I doubt anything could go wrong. Go wrong...Go wrong...Go wrong.
Personally I’m working on a wind-powered car. it will have hundreds of miniature windmills Scotch-taped to the roof.
Ping.
How well would Hydrogen work in freezing climates where it was stored outside?
What a load of bull. CNG is already here already cheap.
Replace carbon dioxide with water vapor and global warming will be man made and imho severe.
Hey, “researchers”! Water vapor is the BIGGEST greenhouse gas. You will be putting tons of it into the air.
PS. Hydrogen is a gas. Also, the lightest element. You have to compress it into a tank that will fit into a car. The atoms are very small. The little suckers can escape through very little holes. Good luck with that. When you have 500 million cars with hydrogen tanks under pressure, some will be leaking. If it leaks into an enclosed space, such as a closed garage, the potential for some fireworks is high. A spark. A cigarette.
I know, gasoline is extremely volatile and also explosive, in the same situation, but it is not under pressure in the tank, and its atoms are pretty big. Oh, you thought you could liquefy your hydrogen! Yes, and when your cooler fails, and the hydrogen warms up, and increases its pressure, ...
I have long believed hydrogen cars were much more feasible than electric. Looks like they have finally figured out how to make the hydrogen as you go.
ONLY 20 YEARS AWAY
And Sun Hydrogen energy is ONLY 20 years away.
After claiming that for the last 80 years,
you’ve just got to believe them.
If this wasn’t pie in the sky it could furthermore be used as a water source, assuming the exhaust water wasn’t contaminated. It’d be great for an RV. Make your own potable water as you go.
Device is “a step forward”.
So is cow dung energy.
Govt grants, get your grants here.
Nano electrodes corrode. Will they be cleaned with a tooth pick?
Get your grant money here.
The device could make hydrogen cars affordable - because it produces hydrogen using nickel, iron and cobalt — elements that are much more abundant and less expensive than the platinum and other precious metals that are currently used to produce hydrogen fuel. ////
If they’re talking about fuel cells, they don’t use platinum to make H2. The Pt pile converts ready made H2 and O2 into water and electrons. The electrons power the motor.
I see using solar cells as the limiting agent in this process. Much more efficient to use nuclear powered electrolysis of water to produce “clean H2.”

When will this insanity die?
We need simpler, more reliable, not complex, shakey, unmaintainable, and costly.

I’m all in favor of silver bullet solutions. Sometimes they work. But the story is suspiciously quiet about cost.
