The Ukrainians are going to take delivery of thousands of these cars, fuel them up and drive them into Russian trenches to self detonate.

That will enhance the WW1 vibe of the current conflict.

Luddite much? Every technological development looks, in its infancy, like a waste of energy and effort to those without imagination.

No, it’s not “electrolysis of water”; it’s a replacement for the Haber process that generates it’s hydrogen in situ and runs at conditions much closer to atmospheric pressure & temperature.

Would you mind describing this process? You can be as technical as you like.

They won’t detonate. You would need a huge amount of ammonia in a confined space to harm anyone more than a cleaning product. Hydrogen, gas or electric are more likely to blow up or burn.

Yeah ... you can fission uranium or plutonium. Everything else is either carbon or solar.

Some places have more hydro than they can use. Iceland generates 100% of its electricity with hydro and geothermal. Plenty of desert areas can be used to site solar PV without much penalty, because they're useless for agriculture. (If you're not feeding the grid but generating a chemical fuel, it doesn't matter that the sun doesn't shine sometimes.)

Watch: link.

The presenter of that video should be flogged, hanged, drawn and quartered, and his head stuck on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that youtube presenters need to GET TO THE BLOODY POINT!!!

Can you tell me the NAME of this new process? I’ll look it up on my own. Seriously ... that guy is intolerable.

Some technological developments make sense. They make things better, cheaper, more efficient. Do you feel an ammonia power source does any of those things?

There are two major hurdles for using ammonia as a fuel source. First, is the obvious one in that it’s a toxic substance. Ammonia is a solvent and can dissolve alkali metals and enough exposure of ammonia in gas or liquid form can lead to death in both humans and animal.

Well back to the tried and true Hydrogen fuel
