I highly encourage our energy and infrastructure team to look into water and hydrogen vehicles as a cleaner alternative to gasoline and electric.
Emissions from gasoline and diesel vehicles—such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter—are a major source of this pollution. Hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles emit none of these harmful substances—only water (H2O) and warm air .
After production, electric vehicles have far lower carbon emissions than gas-powered vehicles. However, the process to mine, refine and assemble EVs, particularly their batteries, is environmentally damaging. According to a report by MIT’s Climate Lab, one ton of mined lithium emits nearly 15 tons of CO2
Some types of Lithium-ion batteries such as NMC contain metals such as nickel, manganese and cobalt, which are toxic and can contaminate water supplies and ecosystems if they leach out of landfills.
Hydrogen vehicles produce no harmful emissions, only water vapor and heat, significantly reducing their environmental impact . Hydrogen also has a high energy density compared to traditional fuels, providing extended driving ranges and shorter refueling times.
I hope this gets an honest look. Maybe elon Musk will decide that Water used as fuel is a better alternative than lithium. I remember reading years ago about a man who built a car that ran from the east to west coast on 1 tank of water. Its rumored that he was suicided and his partner jailed.
We could all be living a lot cheaper and cleaner if only people weren’t so greedy .
I agree with the details in the original posting, and I encourage looking more closely at hydrogen vehicles. However, what is not mentioned here is that research in this area has been going on for at least two decades that I’m aware of, and in spite of that there are still technology issues and significant cost issues with hydrogen electric cars and small trucks. Also, it is always important to point out that hydrogen is an energy carrier or an energy storage medium, not a source of energy.
Agree. That would be a lot better than trying to strain our electrical grid demanding more power than we can handle. Plus water just makes sense and would be a lot cheaper to maintain and water can be free. So what happened with Toyotas blue fuel thing? I done a lot of research even made hydrogen cells against my wife’s wishes. Off topic I was researching alternative ways to compensate for fuel costs. People make bio diesel from soy beans and even used vegetable oil discarded from restaurants. That’s green. So I know there used to be kits like the Grease car kit. Suddenly, I don’t see any more kits for this available for purchase. I dug some more and found out why and it’s taxes the government don’t get for this and EPA hasnt certified this like it’s dirty fuel or something. So maibe hydro cells would be a money thing also. The government wouldn’t get tax money so maibe that’s why they are pushing for EV. They get $$ Did you know science knows how to make solid state hydrogen that is much safer than gas or liquid.
You can’t use water as an energy source. Regarding lithium, if you research lithium, you are correct, but car manufacturers are constantly attempting to reduce dependency on lithium. This is an example of where free market economy plays a vital role. If companies make cars that are cleaner, more efficient and higher value, people will buy them over the competition.
Since hydrogen vehicles are something that has a long, long way to go, I would suggest the the feds instead emphasize hybrid vehicles (combo gas/electric) or better yet compressed natural gas (CNG). In both cases the technology is proven. CNG also requires availability of recharging/filling stations
Yes, Stan Meyers poisoned at Cracker Barrel after meeting two businessmen.
I would like the government files on Stan Meyers and other sidelined, hushed up inventors to be made public and the government report on the findings. Watch the video “Thrive” for a more complete list of technologies. They range from carburetors to homopolar generators called N-Machines. Bruce De Palma, Adam Trombly, Nikola Tesla, Stan Meyers are just a small sample of inventors that have been erased from text books. Remember, we use hydrocarbons because of the hydrogen - carbon bond , the carbon part is discarded as pollution, whereas water is a source of hydrogen without the carbon. There is a way around Faraday’s electrochemistry principles if only we allow mankind’s greatest minds to be utilized instead of hidden.
After compression, spark, supreme power, and then clean exhaust. Most vehicles come with at least one battery. That’s energy. Lithium is great if it doesn’t overheat by fast charging causing shorts in its cells then spontaneously combusting. Certainly there are safety sensors by now for that matter; however the technology for other lighter more dense are set for years down the road so I read. Even when it is is lighter by a lot. I’m not saying electric isn’t good. I just think where jumping too far ahead with that when the US does not have a strong enough grid for mass EV production. But then again we don’t have an infrastructure for Blue gas either. I read about the hybrid here. That’s probably the best focus for now. Plus a lot of them don’t even need to plug in and wait at all. Just keep it simple and explore hydrogen. I was watching how scientists discovered how to turn hydrogen into a solid state and somehow store in on tape like the old eight tracks. These could be exchanged at a station when they run out because it’s completely safe. I watched that on YouTube. Probably a cost issue tho
