Musk used to make fun of the whole idea. Now he’s four-square behind it. So they might have an improved prototype.

I was wondering about embrittlement. Maybe if they use a fuel cell it’s less of a problem but fuel cells are expensive

Neither. The hydrogen that runs it spontaneously turns into water vapor as it mixes with oxygen. It’s not run on water. See #1.

My perpetual motion machine will beat your water engine.

Not the best title since the video covers other interesting technologies as well. The video is well worth watching though.

But for the last part they hype nura-link. And they they tell you the good things about it, but not the bad. Like how they will be able to read your every thought, and I imagine at some point soon then they will be able to actually control your brain. And that is the problem with certain technology....

Oh, now I’ve paid that price tenfold over
Knowledge, was it worth such torment
Oh, to see the far side of shadow?”

Your point about Musk getting things done is valid, so, yes, he might have a design that makes those difficulties manageable.

Water vapor? Sounds dangerous. Hotter than air. Hotter than the water itself. It’s going to cause more warming in the atmosphere. It can scald. It must be stopped.

Unmitigated horseshit. There is no water engine. There is nothing new here. It is hydrogen and it is harder to access than methane or oil. The only “cheap” forms are from waste electricity conversion by electrolysis. Electricity demand is growing and supply is diminishing. Do the math. It isn’t hard. Hydrogen power is a unicorn fart.

There is no real thing called “fossil fuel”. Contrary to popular opinion petroleum is not “dinosaur soup”, no matter WHAT your fourth grade teacher told you. Most hydrocarbons found in underground reservoirs was formed by ABIOTIC means, no “fossils” involved.

The Mohorovicic Discontinuity marks the lower limit of Earth’s crust. It occurs at an average depth of about 8 kilometers beneath the ocean, and is the boundary of the molten inner core of earth and the stony crust above. Some very violent and extremely rapid reactions take place under conditions of pressure and heat that yield the collection of petroleum components know as kerogen, crude oil. Carbon dioxide at those depths takes on characteristics of both a solvent and a chemical reagent, together with hydrogen formed from the thermal hydrolysis of water to form longer-chain hydrocarbon molecules, which rise into the rocky layer above to collect in underground reservoirs or are simply wedged into what appears to be solid rock. This collection of kerogen is then extracted by being pumped out of an oil well, or in the instance of the oil-impregnated rocks, by fracking.

Methane, the simplest of the hydrocarbon compounds, was formed and in existence before the earth was formed, and may be found as one component of comets, which also include ammonia, carbon dioxide and water as ice, so-called “dirty snowballs”. Methane also forms as part of the decomposition of formerly living tissue, and in the depths of the ocean, at the steady temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit or 4 degrees Centigrade, forms “methane ice”, an amorphous physical phenomenon in which water molecules form a latticework that hold the methane molecules in a stable configuration that breaks down if the temperature increases only a very little, then the methane releases in a huge expanding bubble, which then rises to the water surface. Ships have been known to lose their buoyancy, and aircraft to lose their lift, when one of these releases break the water surface, resulting in almost instantaneous disappearance as the ships and airplanes fall to the bottom of the ocean. That may explain the Bermuda Triangle, by the way, but that is another story.

We have plenty of methane, very little actually of origin in fossils, both in underground reservoirs as gas wells, or as this “methane ice” which may be in layers hundreds or thousands of feet in depth. Or it bubbles off the surface of a sewage treatment plant every day, or decaying vegetation in the forest.

Hey, the rising seas, should be a win-win.

But . . . Gee, those darn citizens will still be able to drive around where they want to.

So - - - It is Bad.

Problem with that is, water is essential to life itself. Go mucking with that limited supply, and another issue is more than likely to arise. Potable water is already an issue in many areas of the world.

Cranking up desalination water plants is a remedy for the potable water issue, however, then we have to start concerning ourselves with the consequences, if any, of excessive desalination. Since we have an overabundance of salt water, we know not what the ramifications might be with lessening the amount and where that breaking point would be reached. But ramifications will expose themselves without question. Because that is how it goes. Advances lead ultimately to negative setbacks. I suspect the consequences would involve a reduction in sea life that require salt water. But it may not be limited to just that.

It's the conundrum humans face with regards to life on earth.

Years ago I toured a hydrogen fueling facility operated by a large transit agency. The biggest issues they had were the constant leaks, with resulting spontaneous combustion with an invisible flame! That and the 10,000psi tank pressure! The test buses never really ran, program was a total failure. Millions wasted.

I see phony-baloney channels on this garbage platform all the time. One of them had my poor mom believing Musk bought GM, a few months back.

I was hoping someone had finally created a hydroelectric car where a huge reservoir of water is constructed above the passenger compartment, and the power was generated by allowing the water to flow from the tank onto the road below causing turbines to rotate and generate the electric power necessary to propel the vehicle.

But alas, this was not the case.

Any time I see or hear the words “changes everything”, there is reason to be suspicious, especially when Musk is involved.

A hydrogen tower at a local refinery caught fire. They had to cut off the feed and let it burn itself out. The top of the tower burned for weeks until it ran out of fuel.
Imagine a car fire that couldn’t be extinguished.
