I can't tell you how bad my laugh was when he made the saudi joke

[misticpoetry]

it is not HHO!! it refers to an hydrgen cell, a totally different concept. Go to wikipedia to know the difference.

Guess what You can store Hydrogen and stuff it into a tank without it exploding using a safe and mass producible chemical But the reason you can't use it is because it is used in thermonuclear bombs. But it would allow all of this Hydrogen stuff to come to fruition. The video I watched on youtube where i learned about this is called "run your car on water? this guy does just that" look it up this is the link youtube.com/watch?v=wjeM2IBhtl­c

@wcemichael I think, it´s a thing of costs and benefit. It´s not cheap and easy to integrate a solar panel in a car. And for the most people, it would be ugly too.

Electric cars are even now expensive. Making them even more expensive and ugly, just to get a few miles free?

You could fully cover a car with about 30 ft² of solar cells and you would get about 1500 free miles with it. If the car never stands in the shadow. How much more would people pay for that?

[wcemichael]

@701983 I realize it is more complicated that it sounds. The main point I'm driving at is these companies have the know how, they just want to make sure you have to PAY somebody to keep any vehicle going. They'll put solar panels on a gas powered car to keep it cool, BUT they won't put any on an electric car to offset a little of the cost to charge it up. Even if it only gives you 300 free miles a year, multiply that by all the drivers and it adds up!

@wcemichael Why not have the car do it? Because you would need a heavy electrolyzer and a compressor in the car. Why not have these things in the house? Then, in the morning, you can connect the house-pressure-tank with the car-pressure-tank an fill it in a few minutes.

[ohedd]

@wcemichael I dunno, I just know of the actual problem! Maybe if it's kept in high pressure it'll condense without temperatures being too low. Let's leave that to the Berkeley professors ;P

[wcemichael]

@ohedd Actualy, I've seen a YT vid where a guy was able to condense hydrogen in his own back yard, he had converted a corvete with 4 bottles about the size of a 2 liter powering it. can it work the same? I don't know.

[ohedd]

@wcemichael You need to keep it liquid if you want to be able to go more than 50m in your car. Hydrogen is liquid at -250 degrees :(

[wcemichael]

I have a way to refuel it without hydrogen stations.

The answer is simple. Have a water storage tank. Plug the car in at night with house current. The house current can separate the hydrogen from the water and store it while your sleeping. When you wake up the car is ready to run. Since the hydrogen has to be produced somewhere, why not have the car do it?

@2009dodgeviper I'm lost, what did May say that was so offensive? or are you bothered by a picture of Freddie Mercury?

[botchalism]

@dalluc When did I say coal is inefficient? I'm supporting the use of the Volt and the Leaf which would use electricity produced primarily by coal. We do NOT get most of our energy from nuclear power, only 19%, and no bank or institution would fund a nuclear power plant without government subsidies because it is an incredibly risky investment due to waste disposal and contamination of the area and potential meltdowns.
