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“

Been reading that tired old line since 1966. I’m gonna hand it down to my son now. Let him get his hopes up.

BMW and a few others already has a car that runs on hydrogen good to see others getting in on something besides the battery rabbit product.

The idea of crashing a vehicle like this brings to mind visions of the Hindenburg, Nazi Germany’s rigid airship that crumpled to the ground in a pall of flames back in 1936. Despite this tragedy and public-relations black eye for hydrogen, it may actually be a safer vehicle fuel than gasoline.

I only knew about Bob Lazar’s work on hydrogen engines when on Coast to Coast he stated he drives a car around using hydrogen.

I thought that was as fascinating as the area 51 stuff. Even had government agents were on his property, and that they were more interested in the hydrogen aspect of it.

>>But it takes a s-load of power to make<<

Not so. This fella was looking for a cure for cancer, his own, then accidently fell into this discovery. Burning the hydrogen from saltwater.

Filling a test tube full of saltwater, he used a radio frequency generator to agitate the molecules within the h2o, releasing hydrogen.

This report was from 2009. The freq. generator uses fairly low power to create an intense +-1500F flame.

Well, the dude died from his cancer. His discovery also died.

>>I am not in favor of banning nuclear power.<<

If the U.S. put as much $$$ into hydrogen fuel technologies as they have in nuclear and or battery tech., we’d probably have at the very least another fuel alternative that might be utilized to generate power.

Water vapor IS the largest factor in Atmospheric warming.

[Thank God...]

Russel Rhodes has been employed for more than fifty years
at Kennedy Space Center. During this time, he has been engaged
in the design, development, testing, and operation of ballistic
missiles and space transportation systems, and has specialized
experience in space vehicle propellant loading, cryogenic,
hydraulics, high-pressure gases, and other propulsion systems.

He says:

August 30, 1963. We were ready to fuel the Saturn I block II vehicle, our first configuration with a liquid-hydrogen-and-oxygenpowered second stage. The stage had six RL-10 engines, and the launch complex to support it contained a 125,000-gallon dewar for storing liquid hydrogen about 600 ft. from the launchpad.

For additional safety, we had two ponds where hydrogen that was vented during preparation could be safely burned off. We began filling the transfer line and chilling the stage
tank while venting hydrogen down to its burn pond.

Everything seemed to be working fine when Al Zeiler, who was watching the process through a periscope (we had very little closed circuit television in those days), told us we’d had an explosion at the pad. Inside the blockhouse, we hadn’t heard a thing, but Al reported seeing steel trench covers, which weighed about 300 lbs. each, flying several hundred feet in the air.

And these guys know how to handle it. Car accident, mix hydrogen with air, and cause a spark? They won’t find all the pieces of the body. And a car accident takes it back to the basics.

If Hydrogen were to become a cheap alternative to gasoline the climateers will ban it as it produces water and water vapor is far and away the biggest “greenhouse gas.” The point is NOT “clean” energy. It is depopulation and reduction of the non elite to the pre industrial conditions for the aesthetic benefit to the Elite.

“If the U.S. put as much $$$ into hydrogen fuel technologies as they have in nuclear and or battery tech., we’d probably have at the very least another fuel alternative that might be utilized to generate power.”

Unfortunately, hydrogen is only 0.000055% of the atmosphere.

How much power?

Fortunately, 71% of the earth is covered in H20. 2 hydrogen atoms to one oxygen.

We will never run out of hydrogen nor oxygen. Well, not unless there were a huge hole in the ozone. lol

Leftist greenie weenies already tried the ozone hole thing.

A benchtop signal generator capable of producing a 15Mhz signal utilizes around 70watts max.

Granted, his equipment was a bit more advanced. Point being researchers from a couple of universities were excited at this discovery which could lead to breakthrough technologies.

The idea is to realize more energy out than in.
