OK, why wouldn't car makers switch to a 400 hp, zero emission engines?
The five-liter V8 engine represents a fundamental reimagining of combustion technology. Built upon Toyota’s reliable 2UR mechanics platform, this innovative powerplant maintains the familiar characteristics of traditional V8 engines while eliminating harmful emissions through advanced hydrogen combustion processes.
The engine’s sophisticated design features a precisely engineered exhaust manifold that ensures water vapor—the only byproduct—flows uniformly from each cylinder. This meticulous attention to engineering detail optimizes both performance delivery and environmental benefits.
1. storing hydrogen in small volume is difficult. to get the needed range need a tank that 3x larger than gas
ReplyDelete2. fueling. same as electric cars had. where do you fuel up? hydrogen is invisible so leaks are huge hazards
3. most hydrogen fuel is made from methane so your still producing co2 just not at the car.
I'll disagree with the 1st line. All gasses are easily, successfully stored, and have been for decades. From BBQ fuel cannisters by Coleman, to propane by Rhino, to home delivered tanks for kitchen stoves, and industrial tanks of Nitrogen, liquid Oxygen, and welders supplies of Oxygen, Acetylene, and I'm sure my limited experience with gases that are tanked, hasn't missed some obvious stuff.
DeleteBut I hope I've changed your mind, and that it's quite simply to store any gas in small volume, or tank size. Compressed air tanks are in most garages, and industrial shops.... tanks are not an issue for pressure or volume.
Yes, fueling will need to be developed, but, as electric charging shows us in the past decade, it's easy. And, gas stations already have a compressed air system, two valves, and it's switched from air to hydrogen. Sure, maybe a quick disconnect to put on a better connection that is flameproof, incapable of causing sparks, but hell, gas stations are pretty successful at preventing fires around all the flammable gas and vapors already.
And I have no clue how most Hydrogen is made, because we used high current to split pure water into Oxygen and Hydrogen on the subs I crewed on, and we dumped the hydrogen out into the ocean. Don't want it in the sub, don't need it, and sure as hell have no use for it.... but we made it constantly, all American subs do when underwater. Lol, it's made in the "O2 Generator" which we instead, call "the bomb".
And I have no idea what the hell the rest of the planet does to make Hydrogen
