Lies.

Park your Hydrogen car for a month at the airport. You are running an air conditioner freezer 24/7 for a month.

Betcha that costs more than 50 cents a gallon, more than gasoline and diesel too.

Lol. Just a hunch.

We don’t know what the future will look like. I am an all of the above person when it comes to energy and may the best technology win (and it will).

I don’t understand.

“Park your Hydrogen car for a month at the airport. You are running an air conditioner freezer 24/7 for a month.”

Not only would you be running the air conditioner freezer, but your fuel would be disappearing.

From wikipedia: the hydrogen will gradually leak away (typically at a rate of 1% per day).

A gallon of liquid hydrogen has about 14 percent as much energy as gasoline. Check me by going to “liquid hydrogen” in wikipedia. So instead of a 20 gallon fuel tank you’d need a 142 gallon tank.

And there’s that explosion hazard.

“Park your Hydrogen car for a month at the airport ...”

One more thing. At 50 cents per gallon of hydrogen which has 14 percent of the energy of a gallon of gasoline, that’s about $3.57 for the same amount of energy as a gallon of gasoline.

Actually NH3—anhydrous ammonia, can store more hydrogen by volume than cryogenic hydrogen liquid, and at a pressure and density similar to propane. Ammonia is typically difficult to ignite at atmospheric pressures and temperatures. If one wants to enhance safety due to toxicity, then store the ammonia as adsorbed vapor in a magnesium salt—Mg(NH3)6Cl2 solid storage device.

There are solid oxide fuel cells which can reform ammonia vapor to hydrogen and nitrogen, and utilize the hydrogen at high efficiency to produce electricity for powering an electric vehicle. Hydrogen gas requires elaborate procedures and equipment to minimize losses, as it will eventually diffuse through the container walls; and, mixed with oxygen has a very wide by percentage explosive range.
