Car that runs on Solar-Power Generated Hydrogen?

the Bear SG

If this isn't a conspiracy against anyone who develops alternative fuels, I don't know what is.

This company develops a car that runs on hydrogen (not uncommon) and a new type of hydrogen generator which you need only a sunny day to run, that is, a solar powered generator to produce hydrogen for your car (very very uncommon).

Guess what? The US gabrament decides to go try to shut them down.

Now... would you want something like that for your vehicle?

I would!

We've apparently solved our Hydrogen Embrittlement problem and are now in a new phase of extended testing to see if there are any additional long term problems running solely on Hydrogen. Liquid fuels like Gasoline provide some lubrication themselves to engine components and we're now investigating if additional wear or shortened engine life will occur burning strictly Hydrogen.
We are also developing a Hydrogen injection system for cars running on Gasoline or Diesel.
Research indicates adding small amounts of Hydrogen gas to the air intake of Gasoline or Diesel burning engines can increase mileage by as much as 25%. If the initial results prove to be accurate, we will also jointly develop a Hydrogen injection system in addition to our Hydrogen conversion system.
Unlike our Hydrogen Conversion system, the Injection system will work with any vehicle... old/new, carbureted or fuel injected.

Using sun energy to produce hydrogen? Please lah... the arab world will go into immediate decline and therefore to protect the interest of the Muslims, the US must shut them down.... Confused

something like that would be great for a small country like Singapore where you could cross the country 100 times without running out of hydrogen but not very practical in the U.S.

That Corvette would run for 350 miles on those 4 tanks, then what do you? carry the generator with you and stop for a week while you refill the bottles?

something needs to be done about our oil dependence but i'm not sure this is it....not by itself anyway.

casino_king SG

huh? cannot use the technology for other things and only for cars?

the Bear SG

boats, whatever the hell you want to Laughing

and skid, if we can use the thing for those who use their cars to commute, the dependency would plunge!

i would use it coz i drive the car about 60km a day commuting to and from work..

skid SG

you're right bear...don't know what i was thinking. Embarassed

Tayysj SG

i would support it too.. the NEA should look into it. ha. ha.

BrUtUs SG

yup its a good idea... they should be pushing these than keep relying on oil as fuel... too $$$ face...

^tamago^ SG

the cost of installing this, and more red tape from LTA.. i think i’ll rather consider puris or accord diracc…

maggot SG

No more oil addiction for the world Laughing

Solar power to diffuse the hydrogen in water? Surprised H2O Mr. Green

maggot SG

Ah another brillant idea Idea Idea Idea

Ok there's actually a technology that converts radio waves into electrical energy and if we put that onto cars all we need is to receive radio waves from the surrounding to power the cars Very Happy
