The instant solution to global warming, zero energy (no yeah right, hydrogen combustion)
Zero energy is available.
Hydrogen can be extracted out of air using electrolysis using the car's battery (first water waste from air conditioners, then electrolysis separates hydrogen from the air and sends the hydrogen gas directly to the engine.) A hydrogen combustion engine is described here. http://www.ca.sandia.gov/crf/researc...ngines/PFI.php I merely remove the dependency to pertroleum. This car would not need a gas tank, there is no risk of explosion, and the car takes energy from the air as it goes. I ran a test, and extracted a liter of water 'from the air' in one minute using an air conditioner. Electrolysis produces instant hydrogen gas, the hydrogen bubbles are bubbling fast in the water. One might ask if so simple, why didn't they do this 50 years ago. |

The battery can run an air conditioner that produces waste water. An electrolysis, can extract hydrogen, and the extracted hydrogen leading directly to the engine. Not even expensive. Cheap. A car that runs with 120 miles without a gas tank, and can travel around the world without stopping (with good tires). |

The instant solution to global warming, zero energy (no yeah right, hydrogen combustion)
Dear gb6...:

Hydrogen can be extracted out of air using electrolysis using the car's battery About 60% loss of applied energy doing this.

Because you do not consider real inefficiencies. A hydrogen combustion engine is described here. http://www.ca.sandia.gov/crf/researc...ngines/PFI.php I merely remove the dependency to pertroleum. No. The battery case is made from petroleum. The refrigerant is made from petroleum. The metals are worked in heat produced by petroleum, and refined and mined using petroleum. This car would not need a gas tank, there is no risk of explosion, and the car takes energy from the air as it goes. I ran a test, and extracted a liter of water 'from the air' in one minute using an air conditioner. It was either raining, or you had a very large power bill. Electrolysis produces instant hydrogen gas, the hydrogen bubbles are bubbling fast in the water. A very inefficient process, electrolysis. That is why if you buy hydrogen gas today, it is "mined" from fossil fuels. One might ask if so simple, why didn't they do this 50 years ago. They knew thermodynamics even then. "Over unity" does not happen in this Universe. David A. Smith |

The infernal combustion engine is about 30% efficient on a good day. You lose energy condensing water. You lose energy electrolysing water (yes more than you get out of it in hydrogen, right here). You lose energy burning it in an infernal combustion engine. You lose energy in converting shaft work back to electricity. and sends the hydrogen gas directly to the engine.) Grinds to a halt really quick. Because you do not consider real inefficiencies. Ok. Why should we believe till we see it. Why should we see it, if we don't want to believe it. Been tried.

I extracted one liter of water using a POWERFUL air conditioner in one minute, a car has a tiny air conditioner compared to one that cools a house. One liter of water in one minute sounds cool. If this would be gas, one liter of gas can run a car on a highway for 5 minutes, given the car runs at 120 kilometers an hour and the car consumes 10 kilometers per liter. (In US terms, 22 miles per gallon or so). One liter of gas can be used up in 5 minutes, but in one minute, But in five minutes, I was only able to produce 5 liters of water, given a good powerful air conditioner. Now the other problem, is that one needs a 5 times larger gas tank for LIQUID hydrogen than for oil. It means, that that 5 liters of water only means one, and it is not liquid hydrogen but water. So we are not efficient, and the air conditioner for extracting that amount of water may be far too powerful for a car's battery. But there is belief, even if this is too complex, and yet trivial. |

Now the other problem, is that one needs a 5 times larger gas tank for LIQUID hydrogen than for oil. It means, that that 5 liters of water only means one, and it is not liquid hydrogen but water. So we are not efficient, and the air conditioner for extracting that amount of water may be far too powerful for a car's battery. But there is belief, even if this is too complex, and yet trivial. No. See I fooled myself. The five times greater tank applies if hydrogen is used to produce electricity by mixing with oxygen. We are talking about burning hydrogen, which is a lot more powerful than electricity. Keep in mind. In fact the power, if hydrogen is burned, is equal to the power of gasoline. When you say 60 percent efficient, it applies to the Chicago bus, whose gas tank is 5 times greater, and uses hydrogen to produce electricity. That hydrogen was as well produced by using electricity. Sorry for thinking alone here. So the only question is, how much energy is needed in extracting a full tank of hydrogen. Hypothetically we are in Japan, and we as rocket scientists exchange emails at Fuji Heavy Industries, Inc. |
