Hydrogen Power (1984)

What are the long term prospects of hydrogen replacing petrol as the fuel which powers the family car?
In Australia, one research team has modified an ordinary car to run on hydrogen. The car performs well in traffic, even under freeway conditions, and produces very few pollutants. Storing the hydrogen gas is a problem, since even under pressure, it takes up a lot of space.

Another group is looking at various metallic alloys which, under slight pressure, will combine with hydrogen, thus storing it conveniently for later release.

Producing the hydrogen cheaply and efficiently is another problem. One group is looking at a photo-chemical process which uses light to break down water molecules, thus releasing hydrogen. Another is using a method which is rather like a cross between a photo-voltaic cell and a solar water heater. The objective, in both cases, is to produce hydrogen from sunlight and water.

Jeez that girl is GINGER! She looks like she's been rusting in the rain! lol

Make mighty power of nature an ally

TO IMPROVE CLIMATE OF CONTINENT

In the northwestern Australia, we have huge tides,

huge evaporation and huge dry rivers and lakes.

Tides are up to 12m. Evaporation is up to 4m per year and can be increased.

Huge 12m tidal erosion can revive old dry paleo dormant once mighty rivers, creeks and lakes,

desalinate the country and change deserts to rain forests to provide more rain across Australia.

THINK GLOBAL

There is plenty of environment friendly energy on our planet

And probably best for environment is "land tidal hydro energy" using huge tides.

for electricity and electricity can be used to produce hydrogen.

[euyooo]

we need electricity to separate hydrogen of water !!!

we get electricity of petrol !!!

so what's the new deal ??!!
