Hydrogen Car Information Interview
lockergnome asked:
live.pirillo.com – Ponzi and I had a rare opportunity to learn more about hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles with one of the automobile industry’s leading minds, Dr. Lars Peter Thiesen. The GM HydroGen4 is the European version of the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell. In fall 2007, the first of these fuel cell cars — a global fleet of more than 100 vehicles is planned — will be on the roads in the USA. The HydroGen4’s fuel cell stack consists of 440 series-connected cells. The entire system produces an …

Fuel cell technology? Picture piles of millions of outdated cells and batteries and all their heavy metals. NOT the future.

You need electricity to get hydrogen from the water.

The internal combustion engine needs to combust. Electric motor powered vehicles are the future.

Why not water fuel?
Yyou dont have to produce it.

Nice Video. Check out TubeViews (dotnet) If you need your video exposed, It has really helped me a bunch. Be blessed!
I like what i watched.

well thats what the problem is, and why hydrogen isnt currently being widely deployed is because the process of breaking water into hydrogen and oxygen requires more power than you can get from the resulting hydrogen + oxygen reaction.

hydrogen car
why do we have to go to a place to refuel why don’t we have the vehicle act as a water to hydrogen converter perhaps using solar as power source i get the feeling industry doesn’t want use to break away from the power umbilical cord

Ah, another mistake I made here.
Yes, 1HP = 745.699872 Watts
Thanks for pointing that out LBC1215

Thank you Zanderif for clearing that up. I had an obvious brain fart in trying to do that in my head. My apologies for confusing anyone. Now, where can I buy one of those 100HP electric motors

Uhh, I’m sure we are all lost with what you’re saying.
73KW = 73*(10^3) = 73000… (As 1 kilowatts = 1000 watts)
At your calculation of 736 watts = 1HP, that’s a perfectly correct answer…
That is, 73000/100 = 730. So, that states that 730 watts per horsepower, which is acceptable when rounded.

Don’t forget that there is limitless amounts of hydrogen, and we’re running out of fossil fuels.

Forget the hydrogen car! Build me a hydrogen generator to power my house and electric car. Now that’s going green.
The oil companies just want to keep you paying for hydrogen fuel like you do now at the pump for gas. Don’t be fooled.

Wow… I think you missed the point of Hydrogen fuel. The point is to be environmentally friendly, not to destroy the laws of energy (not thermodynamics) and create more energy than is used. They even stated in the video that it’s about the carbon footprint.
Maybe we should stay with fossil fuels, which require substantial amounts of energy to extract, and create large amounts of pollution.

FUEL CELL IS NOT AN ENGINE BUT A MINI-POWER PLANT to generate electricity for Electric Motor to run the car. I ask WHY do you want to “carry” the Fuel Cell in a car, JUST KEEP THE FUEL CELL AT CHARGING STATION to generate electricity for PLAIN ELECTRIC cars to come and charge. At least you won’t have safety issues connected with carrying hydrogen around and lesser weight(no fuel cell stack & no Hydrogen cylinders) to carry around. WHY CARRY FUEL CELL AROUND WITH YOU?

scince you can’t just pour water into a hydrogen car why not make it into a nice refreshing bodle of aquafina?

I’d really like to know how the math is done here. Perhaps its a misprint and should read 10.0 Horse Power? Anyone?

My hydryogen car design from 1973 has a condenser on the exhaust system to recover H20vapor to be reused as fuel.
