Jack Nicholson Hydrogen car in 1978

Good ol' cbc. Dangit if only this had happened in 1980, hey?

Hydrogen storage in metal hydrides is much safer than storing gasoline. It is used millions of times every day when you recharge your cell phone or power tools etc. (Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries) Hydrogen is the energy storage medium in these batteries, and when the hydrogen is released it produces electrical power. HHO can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is stored in hydride containers, and the oxygen is released into the atmosphere for "atmospheric storage".

not true cell phones use lithuim ion batteries also the relase of h2 from a hidride is endothermic wen u charge it it gets hot exothermic their is no electricity

if so who told u this ive been lied to by books and the internet,also a hydride battery big enough for a car would cost more then ur car

[cuke8466]

I wasn't describing a battery for a vehicle. I was describing a safe storage vessel for hydrogen. No electricity involved. The batteries were just presented as evidence that hydride storage technology is well developed and widespread. The same chemistry used in batteries can be applied to a H2 storage vessel.

Lets all face the facts, A gas tank under your car that contains mostly vapors and little liquid fuel is just as much of a explosion risk as a tank of Hydroxy gas in your trunk, I know for a fact, I've explosion tested them both.

This technology could could put "big oil" out of business and change the world, and they control us all so, they lean on a few people and everyone else follows suit.

If enough of us can educate the masses we might be able to change things.......

[NOBOX7]

not true many free lancing greedy basterd would of privetly took hold of this,, its to expensive to work who can aford h2 at the rate we use it the cheapest avalible is like 14$ pgge or gallon gas equvelent

[cuke8466]

Your true cost for a gallon of gas is much higher than what you pay at the pump. Add in government subsidies, exploration grants, etc. that you pay through your taxes, and the price of a gallon of gas goes well above the $14 per gal equivalent for H2 that you have stated.

[NOBOX7]

ok what ever ,,did i mention hydrogen imbrittlment look it up smart ass,u cant convert a gas engine to hydrogen for long term use? any one in the know will tell u this

[cuke8466]

I'm very familiar with hydrogen embrittlement. In fact, I can spell it correctly. Get a dictionary dumb ass. Hydrogen embrittlement is a slow process. Most vehicles don't last long enough for its effects to be given consideration. Not to mention that most engine components are not the specific alloys or tensile material that would be affected by exposure to hydrogen. Sorry, not a valid argument.

[NOBOX7]

IF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WASNT BROKE THE DICTIONARY WOULDNT NEED TO SPEEL WORDS RONG SO U CAN PRONOUNCE IT RITE also the engine is vulnrable ur a scamer thats the only reason a man would be so boldly full of shit

[csjavik]

Let's be sure that we consider ALL the costs if we are going to make a gasoline-hydrogen cost comparison. As so often is the case, the resources and work that the environment is providing in the equation are overlooked because they don't "cost" anything to the user. The reality is that an abuse of the "free" environmental services does result in a cost to the user-pollution, waste, cleanups, and damages to the environment are all events that "cost" money. Solar hydrogen production has none.

[csjavik]

In fact, the solar production of hydrogen to be burned in a vehicle has environmental advantages; not just that it doesn't cause pollution, but that the combustion of hydrogen in an engine actually cleans air as it is combusted. In addition, an internal combustion engine that runs on hydrogen requires less maintenance- less frequent oil changes, no fuel injection cleaning necessary which uses harmful chemicals, and a cooler running, more efficient engine. These are all environmental bonuses.

[NOBOX7]

well the masses cant afford 700$ a week for the hydrogen they would need ..... that is why u dont see it in use

[cuke8466]

"The masses" can't afford the $700 a week they now pay for fossil fuel usage. We don't use hydrogen because we don't have a distribution network in place. The moment we do, fossil fuels will go the way of the dinosaur. The sooner the better!!

[NOBOX7]

look i didnt mean to call u a smart ass its just that u have no idea who i am or what i no and yet your trying to lie to me about h2. sry pall

[NOBOX7]

u are a bold face liar , only a moron would think hydrogen is the answer

[rentoz]

Do you think is the reason why it never took off at the time?

[MadSmokerBBQ]

I love how she sez  "cayrrr"

[ksa8907]

i dont know why people are so against storing hydrogen. who would have ever thought driving around with 15 gallons of gasoline under your car was safe, but it is. nothing is impossible

[TheJax101]

Thought you would like it

[jdcmusicman]

This is a very interesting video ...

[TheJax101]

The looming question is the comment about the safe way to store HHO "white metal power"

[jdcmusicman]

The only thing I can figure they were talking about was metal hydride ...I don't know ....BUt the only thing about the hydride is that it only stores hydrogen..

[TheJax101]

You only make it sound like storing HHO safely

pressurized is no big deal. But it gets you away from a plug in the wall.

[jdcmusicman]

I do not and would not store HHO ....Besides I said nothing of storing HHO , the comment was a response to yours on the metal powder which I think is hydride....Hydrogen can be stored safely , but HHO CANNOT ......Just wanted to clarify that ....I WOULD NOT store HHO even under no pressure ....

[jdcmusicman]

Also you can separate the 2 gases and store oxygen in one container and hydrogen in another ....BUT I am NOT going to do that ...I don't even like storing gasoline in a container ...
