Yeah it’s an 80’s thingVegas taxis were running those systems in the 80s
Not sure how safe they are, but there are quite a few of them out there. This one's a couple miles from my house.My main concern with H2 if fueling the car. The SLIGHTEST amount of static eletrictity (running a comb through your hair) can ignite H2. So how are they going to build safe H2 fueling stations for the general public.
Is that an oil well in the backround?Not sure how safe they are, but there are quite a few of them out there. This one's a couple miles from my house.

Good catch. It's just a miniature "art installation."Is that an oil well in the backround?
It takes more energy to produce the hydrogen than it creates. Same old story. No free lunch.
Interesting choice for artwork next to a hydrogen filling station.
The city I'm in has decided that in the future, all new vehicles will use propane poweredVegas taxis were running those systems in the 80s
I believe that the thinking is that if the electricity used in electrolysis is from solar or wind then it is free and environmentally friendlyIt takes more energy to produce the hydrogen than it creates. Same old story. No free lunch.
Not free start up costsI believe that the thinking is that if the electricity used in electrolysis is from solar or wind then it is free and environmentally friendly
I wasn't agreeing with those that think solar and wind power are free/cheap and environmentally friendly....far from it.Not free start up costs
Everything has startup cost.Not free start up costs
There is no mystery to "cracking" water into hydrogen & oxygen, it takes energy, so the only question is where's that precipitus input going to come from.My take on a H2 fueled vehicles. I really like the high octane rating. It should allow us to run a more efficient engine. The cost of producing the hydrogen is a problem. But, if they poured the money into researching how to crack water into Hydrogen and oxygen cheaper that they have poured into electric cars then I don't think it would be a problem. As far as safety goes, it wouldn't be to hard to protect the fuel cell so that if it was hurt bad enough to explode then it wouldn't matter because everybody was already dead from the accident. Refilling can be done safely with connections that only allow transfer if they are correctly connected. In short, I think hydrogen is the future.

Not free on any level, and not environmentally friendly either......Not free start up costs
Never happenin', and yes, I've watched all the "water buggy" videos..the conspiracy theories etc. etc. I've also looked at the "diagrams" & whatnot, and came to the conclusion that the premise was a large AC voltage delta at an extremely high frequency to break the electron bonds, not buying it..particularly in a portable on-demand system.The fueling would be water. The car would be the “generators “
This is pretty interesting
