The Oil Companies might hire a hitman for me saying this but did you know that you can turn air to water and water to hydrogen? They have machines that turn air to water and then you can in turn make that into hydrogen meaning free energy to fuel your BMW Hydrogen car or whatever Hydrogen car you have. Or you can create your own Hydrogen Station create the energy for free and get rich off of it ( which the oil companies want to do so I would suggest just buying your own air to water to hydro)
F**k Oil. This is the future! Americans have done almost nothing about saving the environment. Oil companies there are greedy and all powerful. They own banks and banks own politicians. I know situation in EU is different. EU! Please! Do this for our civilization!
this car made headline news 4-5 years ago, since then BMW just kind of gave up on the thing. I mean, did any of you hear anything about hydrogen BMW recently? They now brag about their efficient dynamics, electric and hybrid cars, while, in reality, this is the best solution for future means of powering vehicles. I guess oil companies had their way.
You can place a hydrogen converter on a car so all you need to put in it is water. This will be the next big scam. No need to put hydrogen inside the car. A convertor can actually produce it as you use it.
A breakthrough will happen eventually the means hydrogen can be stores easily. Once that happens, hydrogen stations will become available. I personally think Honda and BMW will be at the for front of this technology.
The University of Erlangen in Germany has developed a new method of storing hydrogen without needing a 700 bar tank. It's a liquid that can contain in itself hydrogen, that can be used without consuming that liquid which is saved somewhere in the car. Then people only need to change this hydrogen-poor liquid with an hydrogen-rich liquid in the fuel station..
We need an energetic reform where gas companies move on to hydrogen. The most abundance element in the universe should be really cheap to distribute once the bases are set and will sure pay for itself in the short oncoming; don't you think?

Never-the-less I lust your contemporary Dove white leather interior.
why the fuck would you go to filling stations for -250 degrees Hidrogen? why the fuck wasn't the car fitted with an electrolitic converter so that you only feed it with water?
@gogutzy Then you'd need electricity on board, which you could use straight away to power the wheels. Why bother about the hydrogen then? The reason why hydrogen cars are good is because batteries are expensive, have environmentally bad production procedures and a low energy-to-weight ration to this date.
@gogutzy because liquid hydrogen is much more compact and is able to provide the necessary fuel flow to power up the engine without fossil fuel aid. Having the necessary electrolytic converter to power the car only with hydrogen would require a large van or so. The converters help the engine run more efficiently but do not completely replace its need for gas.
@420brucewang There is two sides to every story. There is no saving grace in the energy battle. Petrol has its strong points and drawbacks, Hydrogen will have its strong points and drawbacks, and Electricity will certinaly have its drawbacks as well. Everything has negative drawbacks to it. Its just a matter of us finding something with less negative effects than Oil based petrol.

Very energy inefficient and impractical and very expensive. Hydrogen also leaks and can't be stored. It's kinda like driving around with a slow leak in your gas tank. Leaks continuously even when you park.
Imagine your hydrogen bill, having to constantly replace all the lost hydrogen.
@Vulcan750L They are working on pressurizing it to stop the leaks. They are also working on cheapening the process to make it, which can include using solar or wind power to create it from plain water like sierracuban said. In the future, as the guy said it would be a number of years, it will be cheap, practical, and most importantly, completely clean.
Pressurizing hydrogen is part of the reason it leaks. This is a problem on the molecular level. Hydrogen is the lightest element in the known universe and will leak through any material. It also takes more energy to produce than it will give back, resulting in a net energy loss. And then it takes more energy again to compress, liquefy, and freeze the hydrogen in order to fit it into the gas tank. Even after it has been compressed, it still take up 4 times the volume.
@MagicCat3 Well, electrolysis it's quite simple. the device itself, capturing and storing hydrogen i think it's complicated. Anyway, this is not the right direction to focus. Hydrogen fuel does not occur naturally on Earth so the process of producing and storing hydro can be expensive an time consuming. from a commercial point of view is not viable. But we do have the sun don't we? Plenty of energy but we are blind folded by petrol.
@mkoo33 yes, but aluminum does not occur naturally on earth and it is widely available and cheap aswell. If hydrogen is big enough it will be easy to get and cheap.
In the Earth's crust, aluminium is the most abundant metallic element and the third most abundant of all elements. Yes, is not found in pure state, like a rock, and most of it is produced from bauxite. If you find it cheap, that mean to produce it is even cheaper. hydrogen is the third most abundant element on the Earth's surface mostly in the form of chemical compounds such as hydrocarbons and water, but to extract it with today's technology is heavy energy consuming. Cheers.
no one can stop this one 3 years from now hydrogen car will be all over the world its run only on water and oxigen which creat plasma this is a wonderful invention nice video
70% of the energy in the US is not produced from burning oil or gas. It is mostly produced by coal, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, wind and solar. Wind and solar is the fastest growing segment.
10-15% of our transportation fuel is ethanol.
Every major car company has an electric, hybrid, or alternative fuel offering. Some new start-up auto companies make only electric cars.
You're paranoid about the oil companies. They haven't tried to stop anything.
@Beach5and did u know that henry ford's Model T ran off corn fuel and when the oil companies were threatened they funded prohibition to have ethanol banned as a fuel source
@Beach5and Wrong the oil company's are spending millions in Hydrogen technology and preparing, because in 10-20 years Oil will be banned to be used as gas. Oil company's plan to get a foothold in hydrogen technology when that happens to get a edge on the new industry.
@Beach5and Goverments too... This technology was invented in 2003 in my country by dr. Jan Gulak and the goverments told him to get 1.5mln for tests, then they can legalize it. It's fucking sick!
@Beach5and they already did... what do u think... why no one drive their cars on water? i know how to design one... and probabbly get killed after doing that.
Even though this IS NOT a hydrogen fuel cell car, the fact that it BURNS hydrogen creates a demand for hydrogen fueling stations.....That's a good thing........Once we get those fueling stations up, we then can decide if we want to buy hydrogen fuel cell cars, or hydrogen internal combustion engine ( ICE ) cars........The best thing is that hydrogen gas can be produced by electrolysis from plain water with any type of electric current, including solar or wind power...
@sierracuban YES and water is the most abundant substance on earth! ICE cars are perfect for people who LOVE the sound of combustion, but don't want to pollute the air
I know it's amazing because when it burns, it makes water, the same water that can be turned back into hydrogen. Fuck the oil companies, they would be crippled by this though, they are stopping it and the thing that's holding this back is the lack of refueling stations. Why are these animals holding back human development, this is the most realistic way of a solution to FF. Electric is just not good enough, batteries are expensive and pollute in the way they're made and charging is a bitch.
Governments across the world should invest getting an infrastucture so that everyone can own hydrogen powered car but, they won't because it would mean they would lose to much money for their treasurey and they could n't have an argument for taxing Hydrogen coz, it does no damage to the environment.
Why does it have an exhaust? im sure they can slap a hydrogen generator in there, so the water which is released can be turned back into hydrogen. Therefore, Limited supply???? Maybe they wont do it because of Gov Taxing.
@CYNiCAL2009 because it is not so easy. You need to cool down the Generator. and to make the electrolysis. You need the platinum in the world and it is not enough to put it into every car. and then there are still many other problems.
the problem with electric cars is not it never caught on. it is simply you can recharge or refuel an electric quickly! it takes at least 2-8 hours to recharge your electric car! while hydrogen can be pumped in like gasoline. thats is why hydrogen, currently is a better alternative. until they can invent a way to instantly charge a electric battery. hydrogen is the way to go
i am all in favor of cars going this way, it will make what fosil fuel we have left avalable for that sunday drive in the old V8 monster while you use the hydrogen car on a day to day basis
the motor only has ONE moving part and has no need to be serviced on a regular basis, hydrogen is THE most abundant element that mankind knows and can be plucked right out of thin air, it's a very hard and time consuming process to seperate the hydrogen (because it is ALWAYS attached to something else) into a pure enough form to power a car but it can and is being done right now,
They have hydrogen filling stations in the western U.S, the hydrogen is turned into a liqud then compressed and pumped into the car in the same way that petrol (gasoline) is, pure hydrogen cars like the honda use an electric motor to drive the wheels, there is NO internal combustion,
@falingsnow does the tank not have to be freezing cold to store hydrogen in liquid form? i heard the tank has over 60 layers of aluminuim coats interspersed with insulation to keep the temp from rising?
@yascumbag just need it to be cold to turn the gas into a liquid.. but after that it should be good aslong as its in a air tight container sorta thing... i think lol
@ExtraSilver no if the temp rises it expands the container will just burst it has to be coated with a lot of insulation and bad conductors of heat to keep it cold
We have installed systems in cars burning hydrogen without altering the characteristics of the engine is unique in the world that works very efficiently, deenvolvemos a device to produce hydrogen without electrolysis meted, unused solution, only water.
we have several project Ignitron replacing the plugs / cable velas.distribuidor coil, it operates 100% on where it comes from burning fuel economy and provide power and pollute less. temosmais projects.
@fawnication already has happened.. the guy who invented it was murdered by the saudis
It had an electrolysis module that would separate the hydrogen from water onboard. So basically it was its own gas pump aswell as an engine.
That kind of technology is too power. The plutocracy will fight against it. This BMW system allows the government to remain in control of its population by owning a monopoly on the fuel. Wither it gasoline or hydrogen.
A hydrogen car can only carry about 150 miles worth of hydrogen.
The average Hydrogen car cost 1,000,000 because of the platinum catalyst they use.
Hydrogen cost much more than gas to make, even the hydrogen from fossil fuel is still to much.
Hydrogen cars still have the same problems as regular gasoline engines where you need to do costly maintenance just to keep it running (oil changes, air filters, etc.)

You know why hydrogen will replace gasoline?...very simple. the same people who make gas will instead be making hydrogen. No job loss. That is the plain simple truth. As always...a better way of life for us all is dictated by people who think job security is more important.
Blah. I've done enough research now to know that hho is not the way to go. Yes it works...but it is a waste. Why use electricity to produce another form of power? why not just use the electricity directly in an electric car. The answer is simple. we're all being fucked up the ass.
The problem is the fact that the ruling class makes money off of the old technology...loads of money. When cars were invented, guys who made saddles had to find another line of work. People like the Rockefellers don't just go away and give up their massive income stream for the sake of new technology. Make a car that runs on water, and they will legislate obsticals, or blow a few up with kids in them to "prove" that they are dangerous and a bad idea.
@xBlindDudex no im not would you like piss on the street, and how would you get the ocean to the middle of the country? i dont think its a better idea for cars but its a amazing idea for boats.
@VIassasin Well,, Ummm, Derrr,, let me see. As it is, a tanker truck filled with gasoline is required to fill up the tanks at the service station. These truck have to drive on special roads marked suitable for Hazardous material transport (H). Sooooo, instead of them having to go through the logistics of all that crap, It could be WATER in their tanks. Which is not hazardous... What you been smokin? lol just kidding man,, Peace!
Well it's prolly kinda hard to develop a small engine like Stan Myers :) I think its good that atleast one manufacture is going an environmental way:)
Making the hydrogen with what energy? You cant just "make" it for free... Make it from energy by burning gas? Or solar energy? Battery? This hydrogen used some source of power, probably electricity to create, and the main reason it's not more popular is because it is inefficient to first use energy to make hydrogen, then burn the hydrogen for energy. People are working on solar plants that produce hydrogen gas simply using organic debris and solar reflectors. I think this is the way to go.
The problem is you use a tiny bit of energy to separate water, and that fuel turns back into water as it burns to produce energy to drive the car. So you have a net energy GAIN for a closed system, which is impossible. He was most likely scamming us with his "invention" because you never get something for nothing. Perhaps it was consuming the rods in his fuel cell, but he made it seem as though it would run forever with just water.
It's possible to create electricity on several ways that don't affect nature, for example, a nuclear power. So, when enough created electricity sources, it's not so problem to produce H2.
Costs about the same, well it would in the UK, cost about the same per litre as our petrol. Not sure how it compares to fuel in the US though. But being the most abundant thing in the universe, it'll never run out, and it doesn't release greenhouse gasses so it makes sense to use it as fuel.
you are 100 percent correct..... i want combustion and want to hear a nice V8 rumble not a quiet electric car. We need combustion to power our cars, trucks and planes, not electricity. Our only source of unlimited energy is the sun and then the second most abundant source of energy through combustion is hydrogen(the most abundant element in the universe). I understand the consequences if it explodes, but gasoline explodes too, and we figured out how to keep that somewhat safe.. we need hydro
exactly, everyone is going around say that hydrogen will blow up n stuff, but petrol is flammable. its cuz of the hindumberg, but that wasnt even cuz of hydrogen!
@calco150 It will never work, it will be too expensive for lower to middle class people to afford, there will be cheaper versions that only have hydrogen mode, no dual mode with gasoline, which will basically means if your driving around and u cannot find a hydrogen ready station,... your screwed. They need to make it so you input WATER into the car, and burns it by fission. Water is everywhere, hydrogen isnt. I am not a scientist, just giving my 2 cents
What needs to happen is scientists need to find a way of making hydrogen readily available like petrol (petrol is what you call "gas") once they can do that, they can figure out how to store it so we can have hydrogen filling stations.
Create Hydrogen Store Hydrogen (at 5000 psi) Transport Hydrogen - Build a hydrogen filling station Store Hydrogen at filling station (at 5000 psi) Store hydrogen in your car (at 5000 psi) Receive low efficiency rate of under 22% by consuming hydrogen in an ICE or a fuel cell... xD Instead of: Buy electric car (which has an efficiency rate of > 80%) and plug it into the existing electric power infrastructure... I understand your reasoning completely... Still a cool concept by BMW! :D
@rock3tcat ok burn more fossil fuels imagine all the worlds drivers on your fossil fuel hungry electric cars . its not a answer its a gimmick under powered over priced over complicated using new technology fuelled in the back ground by old out dated technology
@calco150 Well doesn't hydrogen cars work like that they make electricity but the car just doesn't have big electric batteries like those what are inside electric cars. I think that the best motors today are electric-gas hybrid cars because they are so simple and good. Of course this car is awesome and all but I don't think that we will drive with these cars. No one can guess what's gonna be the main car fuel in the future.. if/when somebody makes better batterys then people use electric cars
Its all about energy efficiency (EE), maybe hydrogen is the car of the future, but what is the car of today? Compare EE electric vs oil/diesel car, if you actually look it up - instead of doing what rock3cat did - you will see that electric cars are ALOT more energy efficient. You might say but what about where that energy comes from? Well if there is only one problem (powerplants) there will be alot more pressure on efficiency structure wise and not on what car model to use or not.
@calco150 This of course could have been done 20 years ago or so with the calculated intervention by the oil cartels. But it's a big relief to think we may sometime soon see hydrogen production vehicles. I would like to see them utilizing HHO converters as opposed to hydrogen storage tanks, which will allow energy companies to monopolize hydrogen supplies.
Some of you are oblivious, audi is producing a full electric car producing 400+ hp and over 1800 lb/ft of torque. put a pair of headphones on making car sounds, i love the sound of a loud motor as well, but think of the possibilities.
@thehobbit2CR i love the roar of motors. wish they were clean as well. i hate the stupid idea of hybrids. only idiots can buy the idea of driving a battery car. IMHO, no offence to idiots though
@nazirdjon yea i agree i think the cost of making an electric car does more harm to the enviroment then what it actually helps because of the way its made the battery uses so many harsh chemicals and disposing of the battery properly is hard to do
Why 1/ create electricity to 2/ make fuel to 3/ run a heavy complicated engine, when instead you could just 1/ make electricity to 2/ run an electric motor?
Don't you think the car makers know electric motors are cheaper lighter and more reliable to make & run... yes they do but it would slash their spare parts sales & service profits.
H fuel cells require expensive metals and maintenance.
Electric cars are impractical. They take forever to charge! And battery's are very very very bad for the environment.
However, hydrogen could be free if you had your own way of separating it from water, a wind turbine on your roof for example. Also your are right an electric motor is better but hydrogen powered cars would use an electric engine because fuel cells convert the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and we could use the electric motor that way.
If everybody in the world had a hydrogen car and if water comes out of the back of these then the roads are going to be constantly wet...

70% of the energy in the US is not produced from burning oil or gas. It is mostly produced by coal, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, wind and solar. Wind and solar is the fastest growing segment.
10-15% of our transportation fuel is ethanol.
Every major car company has an electric, hybrid, or alternative fuel offering. Some new start-up auto companies make only electric cars.
You're paranoid about the oil companies. They haven't tried to stop anything.

Even though this IS NOT a hydrogen fuel cell car, the fact that it BURNS hydrogen creates a demand for hydrogen fueling stations.....That's a good thing........Once we get those fueling stations up, we then can decide if we want to buy hydrogen fuel cell cars, or hydrogen internal combustion engine ( ICE ) cars........The best thing is that hydrogen gas can be produced by electrolysis from plain water with any type of electric current, including solar or wind power...

I know it's amazing because when it burns, it makes water, the same water that can be turned back into hydrogen. Fuck the oil companies, they would be crippled by this though, they are stopping it and the thing that's holding this back is the lack of refueling stations. Why are these animals holding back human development, this is the most realistic way of a solution to FF. Electric is just not good enough, batteries are expensive and pollute in the way they're made and charging is a bitch.

the problem with electric cars is not it never caught on. it is simply you can recharge or refuel an electric quickly! it takes at least 2-8 hours to recharge your electric car! while hydrogen can be pumped in like gasoline. thats is why hydrogen, currently is a better alternative. until they can invent a way to instantly charge a electric battery. hydrogen is the way to go

the motor only has ONE moving part and has no need to be serviced on a regular basis, hydrogen is THE most abundant element that mankind knows and can be plucked right out of thin air, it's a very hard and time consuming process to seperate the hydrogen (because it is ALWAYS attached to something else) into a pure enough form to power a car but it can and is being done right now,

They have hydrogen filling stations in the western U.S, the hydrogen is turned into a liqud then compressed and pumped into the car in the same way that petrol (gasoline) is, pure hydrogen cars like the honda use an electric motor to drive the wheels, there is NO internal combustion,

A hydrogen car can only carry about 150 miles worth of hydrogen.
The average Hydrogen car cost 1,000,000 because of the platinum catalyst they use.
Hydrogen cost much more than gas to make, even the hydrogen from fossil fuel is still to much.
Hydrogen cars still have the same problems as regular gasoline engines where you need to do costly maintenance just to keep it running (oil changes, air filters, etc.)

Making the hydrogen with what energy? You cant just "make" it for free... Make it from energy by burning gas? Or solar energy? Battery? This hydrogen used some source of power, probably electricity to create, and the main reason it's not more popular is because it is inefficient to first use energy to make hydrogen, then burn the hydrogen for energy. People are working on solar plants that produce hydrogen gas simply using organic debris and solar reflectors. I think this is the way to go.

Obviously you didnt look into Stan Myers Fuel cell.
Once you get it started with a little bit of
electricity, the thing pumps out TONS more
energy/fuel that it is consuming.
I dont think paying ANYONE at the pump is the
way to go.
xBlindDudex 1 year ago
The problem is you use a tiny bit of energy to separate water, and that fuel turns back into water as it burns to produce energy to drive the car. So you have a net energy GAIN for a closed system, which is impossible. He was most likely scamming us with his "invention" because you never get something for nothing. Perhaps it was consuming the rods in his fuel cell, but he made it seem as though it would run forever with just water.

It's possible to create electricity on several ways that don't affect nature, for example, a nuclear power. So, when enough created electricity sources, it's not so problem to produce H2.

you are 100 percent correct..... i want combustion and want to hear a nice V8 rumble not a quiet electric car. We need combustion to power our cars, trucks and planes, not electricity. Our only source of unlimited energy is the sun and then the second most abundant source of energy through combustion is hydrogen(the most abundant element in the universe). I understand the consequences if it explodes, but gasoline explodes too, and we figured out how to keep that somewhat safe.. we need hydro

You might say but what about where that energy comes from?

Hydrogen cars need fresh water & electricity.
Our planet does not have enough of either.
Why 1/ create electricity to 2/ make fuel to 3/ run a heavy complicated engine, when instead you could just 1/ make electricity to 2/ run an electric motor?
Don't you think the car makers know electric motors are cheaper lighter and more reliable to make & run... yes they do but it would slash their spare parts sales & service profits.

Electric cars are impractical. They take forever to charge! And battery's are very very very bad for the environment.
However, hydrogen could be free if you had your own way of separating it from water, a wind turbine on your roof for example. Also your are right an electric motor is better but hydrogen powered cars would use an electric engine because fuel cells convert the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and we could use the electric motor that way.
