Re: [EVDL] opinion article on hydrogen

Well, yes - why would you want an internal combustion engine running on hydrogen? I don’t know the answer, but at one time BMW thought it was a good idea. I drove the result of their work - a bi-fueled series 8, and loved driving it (it was *not* a disappointment), but why? Sure, reduced

Re: [EVDL] opinion article on hydrogen

Gasoline engines are designed to run best on gasoline. They can barely be converted to run on H2. In a nutshell, H2 has an extremely low motor octane number (MON) of about 60, and the compression must be reduced so much that the engine makes very little power. The low charge density is a

[EVDL] Energy Improvements ...

For what it is worth, I researched the improvements in battery capacity since the Edison Nickel-iron EV battery in the 1900's. Looks like it went from 20 Whr/kg to 400 Whr/kg on the latest Tesla cells. A 20-to-1 improvement. For solar, I use the factor of about 200-to-one since 1970. Bob, On

[EVDL] opinion article on hydrogen

This article claims that producing hydrogen will remain too expensive and therefore people will continue to choose to use natural gas if there isn't an electric alternative. It also mentions the poor efficiency of producing it. Using hydrogen fuel risks locking in reliance on fossil fuels,
