Hydrogen Fuel Systems
by Laughing Boy at 4:52 pm EST, Feb 24, 2004

] Our system comes with its own "in-home" Hydrogen
] generator which allows you to manufacture fuel yourself
] at near zero cost.
]
] Our Hydrogen conversion is an intermediate approach
] that simply converts your existing vehicle to burn
] Hydrogen or Gasoline. The Gasoline fuel system remains
] intact and is not modified. This allows you to switch
] between running on Gasoline or Hydrogen at any time. The
] engine itself is only slightly modified, the conversion
] makes substantial changes to the computer & electrical
] system, ignition and cooling systems. Since they never
] have to be removed, Hydrogen fuel storage (Hydride tanks)
] can be installed in virtually any available space within
] the vehicle..
]
] The system consists of two parts, the Hydrogen fuel
] system in your vehicle, and a Hydrogen generating system
] that remains in your garage. The Hydrogen generator is
] either powered by solar panels on the roof of your house,
] a wind turbine set-up ( both of which makes your Hydrogen
] fuel at virtually no cost ) or with standard 110 volt AC
] power for rapid refueling. -LB

[ I still have a problem with hydrogen because there's still no efficient way to make it. Solar panels are nice, but have a high energy cost as well, wind is cool if you live in the plains, but not much use elsewhere, and plugging your hydrogen generator into the wall is not at all efficient either, last i checked. Until we can get hydrogen from a catalytic reaction that doesn't require a shitload of added energy, it's just not that great an idea.

(i put the quote below in here just because it's funny...) -k]

] If you choose to store the Hydrogen as a compressed
] gas, you'll need HUGE tanks, and many of them, since
] Hydrogen isn't very dense, so a tank really can't hold
] all that much. In addition, you'll be driving a giant
] bomb. In a collision, expect to die in a huge
] fireball/explosion.
