Just checked this news out today...Cargo ship in the Atlantic looks like a huge loss of Porsche, Audi & VW's. Crew has been rescued...looks like a total loss and an Eco mess for now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It reminds me just how much the elitist want every gas car gone. So you can have EV fires in your house. I know they never think that far ahead, or do they? Build back better sound familiar?

Matt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen atoms from water. The hydrogen reacts with oxygen across an electrochemical cell similar to that of a battery to produce electricity, water, and small amounts of heat. If Hollywood thought a head just a bit, they'd realize that poison heavy metal fires are not the way of the future. If they put some of that money towards a system that gives you energy, and the by-product is more fuel, that just might work. But that makes way too much sense so sorry I mentioned it. |

But that makes way too much sense so sorry I mentioned it. thats one way to do it. the other way is to burn the hydrogen in a combustion engine. they don't produce CO and CO2 but they do produce NOx emissions - mostly its H2O comes out the tailpipe but oxygen etc in the combustion chamber leads to the nitrogen bits (photochemical smog), you run the engine under constant load and revs as a generator to power an electrical motor. rotary engines are ideal for this as all their particular problems with emissions v fuel economy are solved by running at steady revs and load. its basically a hybrid that does not produced CO2 (the bug bear greenhouse gas). this set up may be ideally suited to heavy trucks and long distance haulage. ie australia (or the USA?). a cat will take care of the NOx. but..........hydrogen is way more explosive than gasoline or lithium batteries. tank is a high pressure vessel. fuel lines are high pressure hard lines. think 914 fuel lines by a factor of 1000. i don't think you can smell hydrogen. so won't get much of a warning of a leak. truth is nothing is particularly clean........or green. it seems. anyway - they are going to have to work out how to safely transport electric cars in bulk. and the light bulb will be coming on about safety in parking garages - thats next. i've seen that one coming for a while. ceiling drenchers work on fuel cars but not electric cars. |
