[biofuel] Hydrogen Hummer ?

2003-10-26 Thread Edward Mendoza
Can someone please offer a little extra information on the H2O car? I heard from Paul F. Ostrove (www.hermosahydrogen.com) today that Tai Robinson (www.Intergalactichydrogen.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) has just finished modifying a Hummer that runs on five fuels: 1. Diesel 2. Veggie-oil 3. Bio-dies

Well, if we want to bring other hydrogen carriers into the mix, then ethanol has about a good as a chance as any. I still vote for a diesel hybrid fueling w/ biodiesel. :) James Slayden On Tue, 21 Oct 2003, robert luis rabello wrote: > > > James Slayden wrote: > > > I think that the beaut

MM, I have not excluded methanol or even the more interesting ethanol in fuel cells. It is energy sources and it looks like an interesting development. Then we are back to more reasonable evaluations about efficiency etc., which are bound to come up. I am fully open to the fuel cell technology,

James, I agree with you on some details, but the big picture remains and maybe you can give input on that, 1. Primary energy sources. We also need to know where the energy should be originating from, because this is an open question that everybody seems to do almost anything

I think that the beauty of the Ovonic system is that it uses process heat to release the H2 from the storage tanks. The heat generated either from an H2 ICE or a FC could also help with this: http://www.ovonics.com/res/2_4_solid_hydrogen/solid_hydrogen.htm My gut tells me that although pressuri

This article assumes onboard pressurized storage. It should at least mention the future possibility of Liquid H2 (such as BMW has been working on) or metal hydride storage) such as Ovonic seems to have implemented with a modified Prius: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/031020/dem017_1.html As alway

Although I can see large advantages in hydrogen as storage in stationary power generation and military mobile applications, I see that it is going to take a long time before we see the hydrogen economy for propelling transport in general. Hydrogen as a Fuel for Automobiles http://energy.savin

MM, Known Resources/Production or Consumption per year is R/P value. It gives you the number of years the local resources would last with current consumption of energy. It turns out to be the consumption when you look at local level like a country, since the consumption is filled by imports. Th
