Hydrogen Car Information Interview

http://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 electrical output of up to 93 kW. With help from a 73 kW/100 hp synchronous electric motor, acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes around 12 seconds. The front-wheel drive vehicle's top speed is around 160 km/h.

@Afrocanuk There is no actual plan layout for jets yet, however there should be since plebians such as me found ways, the boeing should know too.

I wont miss big oil and gas at all. I have made hydrogen and it's simple. Please hurry up and get these vehicles and stations on the road.

I LOVE IT!!!! Dont worry guys,I'll hook you up with sound effects if you want it to sound like a mucle car. And if you want that smokey look coming out of the tail pipes we can hook you up with a fogger. So big Oil guys,we will still use oil,you just wont have to go drilling in the Oceans to get it when consumption use gos down. So guys,when do we get started on building power stations for these cars. Clean energy will put lots of people to work building it.WAIT! u said OIL companys are to fund?

[Afrocanuk]

So since hydrogen is so reasonably save and powerful why aren't they using it to get 747s' and other large commercial jets off the ground? Just think of all the megatons of atmospheric pollution we will be removing as minutes go by.

these people are building cars still Dependant on us going to someone to buy the fuel. We already know we can produce the hydrogen fuel through water and electrolysis but then they could not sell us anything.

all of the production hydrogen cars are pushing an electric motor but all of the homemade hydrogen cars are just replacing or adding to the fuel with converted water. Why dont the car producers start there while they are waiting for the hydrogen pump stations?

[Jupiterironman]

What is the liter per minute consumption rate of hydrogen of these hydrogen cars???

How much liters per minute of hydrogen do these cars use in normal driving???

The device on my motorcycle produces over 40 liters per minute of hydrogen from water.

The device on my motorcycle also produces over 60 liters per minute of HHO gas. Is this enough hydrogen to run these cars??? Signed Norman Williams XMARINE. No joke!!!

[SenatorMark4]

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  Picture piles of millions of outdated cells and batteries and all their heavy metals.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

[jalit]

You need electricity to get hydrogen from the water.

[jalit]

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