Hydrogen has long been touted as the solution to cleaning up road transport. When used in fuel cells, the only emissions from its use are water, and it eliminates the slow recharging problem of battery-electric vehicles. It’s also been put forth as a replacement for everything from natural gas supplies to laptop batteries.
Toyota has been pushing hard for hydrogen technology, and has worked to develop vehicles and infrastructure to this end. The company’s latest efforts involve a toteable hydrogen cartridge – letting you take hydrogen power on the go!
For all its benefits, hydrogen is a bit of a tricky thing to deal with. Molecules of H2 are so small that they tend to leak out of most containers, finding a way to slip between other molecules. This can cause problems, such as leaks, or hydrogen embrittlement in metal components. Thus materials must be selected carefully to store hydrogen safely. It’s commonly stored as a compressed gas or liquid, or within solids in special metallic forms.

Fortunately, 71% of the earth is covered in H20. 2 hydrogen atoms to one oxygen.
We will never run out of hydrogen nor oxygen
And we would need lots of power to separate the hydr9gen from the oxygen.
I was O2 generator tech on subs, They were referred to as “the bombs”.
“Point being researchers from a couple of universities were excited at this discovery which could lead to breakthrough technologies.”
And?
“The idea is to realize more energy out than in.”
Assuming it worked, he was putting in more energy than he could get out.
Couldn't tell the difference between it and a V8 powered vehicle. It drove that nice.
What's been done to our infrastructure to accommodate clean, hydrogen-powered cars instead of these filthy, strip-mining, coal-powered electric vehicles that pollute the hell out of the planet?
Seriously, WTAF. This should've been done LONG ago. 20 years, literally nothing's happened to advance hydrogen powered vehicles? A 20 year gap? WTF.
“What’s been done to our infrastructure to accommodate clean, hydrogen-powered cars instead of these filthy, strip-mining, coal-powered electric vehicles that pollute the hell out of the planet?”
Uh, hydrogen generation uses those same sources of electricity!
I liked when Howard Hughes was shown a steam powered car. He listened to the engineers, let them demo their product.
He then took a wrench, hauled off on one of the pipes, and it hissed out the steam.
“Congratulations,” he said. “In any accident, you’ve just boiled the entire family like a lobster.”
I like lobster. What’s wrong with that?
Remember the Hindenburg!
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some help from a few pro's at the range yesterday too.
Not even remotely comparable to the same thing being discussed here.
Nice
Power plants generate electricity.
For electric cars you lose about 15% getting the electricity from the power plant to the electric motors.
For the Fuel cell you lose at least 60% getting the electricity to the motors.
Soo it would take more than twice the amount of coal to fuel hydrogen cars.
Impossible!
usc, TexasGator just said your claims of accuracy are impossible.
” Within 5 shots @ 300 yards I had 1/4” grouping. “
The NBRSA 300 yard record is 0.355” and they are using much more accurate rifles than your Sig Sauer 716i.
