More like UAC lol

Yeah, it’s pretty sad that people aren’t doing more to promote a hydrogen economy. But I think most of the proudced hydrogen goes to industry in producing fertilisers and chemicals and not for power sources

ok kids lets remember physics, y a balloon pops? because it has no hole for the oxigen to escape, and from the pressure the balloon rips, but if you put a normal valve into a car it will work perfectly.

Um… the Honda FCX Clarity.. but i guess that doesn’t count right?

great video, but when cold fusion finally comes along, watch out world it will be high voltage !

price of that system?

The U.S. produces 9 million tons of Hydrogen per year, enough to fill half a million Hindenburgs and lift everyone in North and South America off the ground at once. Plenty of hydrogen, but no H economy.

I was able to produce a small amout of hydrogen from water with a DC source. I used 6 volts at 1.5 amps. It was crude, but it worked. With more refinement, someone can do much better. I’m now thinking of using solar power. Wish me luck and I’ll keep in touch.

good tutorial.

Hydrogen is used in factories all over the world for energy without incident. Although hydrogen is flammable, it has a higher ignition temperature than gasoline and it disperses in the air much quicker than gasoline reducing the risk of fire. With proper engineering it has a great shot of being on the market sooner than later.

ummm abdeah how can the car explode at ANY MOMENT if u are powering it with the fuel cell and not a normal combution engine hydrogen kinda needs a spark to explode

abdeah March 11, 2010 at 6:54 pm

hydrogen is hightly combustible, so if there is any excess amount not used, it could cause your car to explode at any moment, which is shy there arent any hydrogen powered cars just yet.

It creates H2O and Heat, so while running, it can keep the water warm I guess. For the time it is not running? I don’t know.
This topic really got in my mind, I want to create a fuel cell powered modell car. I have to research and learn a lot, but this is interesting.

major problem with this is it creates water and its delicate, it cant survive winter if it was put into a automobile

Fuel cell technology is UBER. the problem is we need a clean cost efficient way to make the hydrogen first. Does UTC do this as well? (I ask it this way because i’m sure this video is meant as advertising)

sweet guy..!i wish i had one of those
