The difficulty with it is that you have to put as much energy into the electrolysis as you get out of the resulting hydrogen--in other words it works like a storage battery, not a primary energy source. The reason that most commercially produced hydrogen comes from hydrocarbons is that that process requires much less energy input. Bottom line, the conversion from gasoline to hydrogen may not be that far off (within a decade). Not gonna happen that soon. At least not using electrolytically produced hydrogen, and using hydrogen cracked from hydrocarbons doesn't really gain you anything. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Since that didn't really work they decided to try to run the car (a carbureted Olds) on hydrogen directly from a tank. The Olds actually ran until it backfired and flames came shooting out of the hose going to the tank. It was pretty entertaining. Mike O. |

Not sure what they expected to accomplish with running directly from a tank. A hydrogen conversion involves the same sort of effort as a natural gas or LP gas conversion, either of which is doable on most cars and trucks (call your gas company and they should be able to tell you where you can get it done). For an idea of what's involved in such a conversion take a look at http://www.clean-air.org/Hydrogen%20...en%20Cobra.htm. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Yeah, I've seen that article too--I have the impression that the author of the article was so caught up in the wondrous revelation that you can make hydrogen from water that he missed whatever was the _real_ point. Kind of reminds me of http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20631051/, which gives the impression that the most important innovation in the vessel in question is that it can cross the Atlantic on a single tank of fuel. 100 percent efficient electrolysis still means you have to put as much energy in as you get out, and if we're going to use solar to do it then we are going to need to get cracking building solar plants to have 27 quadrillion BTU/year of capacity online in ten years. Not to mention coming up with some awful good incentives to get people to trade in their old gas-powered cars for hydrogen powered ones. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

A common Northern Ohio winter time diversion on Lake Erie around the islands. One year, guy drove a brand new, expensive Jeep something a couple of miles out on the Lake Erie ice to go fishing. The ice cracked behind him leaving the jeep stranded. People got off ice, Jeep didn't. The approach of spring could be monitored by where the Jeep was in the sinking process.

Run Your Car On Water
This whole "running a vehicle on water" debate reminds me of a tragedy that
occurred last winter. It seems some local "newfie" boys had been binge drinking down at the bait shack when they suddenly discovered themselves deficient of hooch. The "head honcho" of this trailer park brigade decided that they should all pile into his cousin's pick up truck and head to the nearest liquor bender, a mere few kilometers across a frozen lake. As you've probably guessed... the truck broke through the ice! The driver and his passenger managed to extricate themselves from the rapidly submerging Detroit iron, unfortunately their 2 buddies who'd been riding in the truck bed were not so fortunate. They drowned 'cuz they couldn't get the tailgate opened! (wink) -- Message posted via CraftKB.com http://www.craftkb.com/Uwe/Forums.as...rking/200808/1 |

So a car powered by water can't be too far off and it is not science fiction. That would be the Type 212 or Type 214, which uses a hydrogen fuel cell for low speed submerged propulsion. The hydrogen and oygen are put on board at the dock, not made onboard from sea water, and the primary propulsion is a thoroughly conventional diesel-electric system. Hydrogen fuel cells are nothing new--they were used on the Gemini and Apollo spacecraft back in the '60s. Further, you can lease a fuel-cell powered Honda _today_. But that is a far cry from "running on water". Water is burned hydrogen. To use water for fuel you have to unburn it first. Unburning it takes as much energy as you get out of burning it, plus more to make up for inefficiencies in the process. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

The exception would be if we actually tamed nuclear fusion here on earth. Then we would have some energy that did not originate in this or some other star. -- Doug |
