If the COP is only 2 or 3 you cannot use it for any mechan
That Toyota site is pretty cool actually, and I wouldn’t want to bet against
them– given the success of the Prius in the face of initial skepticism from
“experts” like GM (following which, GM went bankrupt and Toyota became numero
uno)…not to mention Toyota’s visionary support for LENR. They loo

Yes, I think a hydride is probably safer than pressurized gas, especially
on board the vehicle. I do not recall what kind of storage the Osaka U.

Yes. That is what causes the corrosion I referred to.
Fuel cells are more energy efficient than hydrogen combustion, but they
cost a lot more money at present.

Do you mean retrofitted? I do not think so. Years ago there were attempts
to do this in Japan
The idealized "hydrogen economy" is one of those alluring pipe dreams - like
LENR - which for 20 years has been "so close but so far away" as they say.
Cheap hydrogen simply cannot happen as electrical water-splitting - which
leaves direct-solar as the only logical "enabler" technology. well . nucl
