Hydrogen techtalk people, the sound of Hydrogen
Hydrogen techtalk people by Solarlife
....listen to the sound
of Hydrogen 7 BMW
Hydrogen explainer
How to refill your hydrogen car?
Needs the same 5 minutes like normal cars
How is this BMW Hydrogen 7 California to refill?
Either by mobile Hy gas station (in this case Linde),
or California Hydrogen Highway gas stations.
Is this a Fuel cell car? No
This car is a 12 cylinder combustion engine running on normal gas or hydrogen.
Where is the Hydrogen reservoir? In the trunk.
Is there a difference in the sound? not much, listen to the video
More questions:
Can Hydrogen replace Petrol?
Yes it will, but 5-10 years timetable
First country running on Hydrogen Iceland
with Electrloysers for Hydrogen production
from Heat (geothermal) Hy-Gas stations
Hy-buses, Hy-fishing boat "smart" . Next
country to follow South Corea plans mass
application for Hydrogen Home fuel cells
producing electricity, heating homes.
How is Hydrogen produced ?
Best way from Renewable energy in the
USA from windpower during low electricity
demand (night) by water electrolyser (also nuclear)
or PV photovoltaic solar electrolyser.
Bio algae reactors with enzymes produce Hy.
Classic way, first step from petrol or gas
produced on site on demand at gas station.
Is hydrogen dangerous?
Yes and no, Hydrogen itself is explosive coming
in uncontrolled contact with Oxygen.
California tested Hydrogen cars driving through
a firewall. Result the applied technology is more
secure than petrol cars. No Hy car was burning.
If Hydrogen is so top why don't we see more ?
Good question needs american top market entry
like the DVD player HD TV for breakthrough.
What is a Hydrogen Fuel cell ? video Ballard
A fuel cell produces electricity DC from Hydrogen
storage tank and environment oxygen, no moving parts.
The stack is separated by expensive membranes. Simply
said the fuel cell is the inverse of a battery. If you
overcharge your battery, the upcoming bubbles are Hy.
In the Fuel cell contrary Gas produces electricity.
When was the Fuel cell first applied?
The space shuttle had the first fuel cell for on board
electricity production, one difference the oxygen has
to be in a separate tank (no oxygen in space)
Can we fly one day with Hydrogen?
Yes Airbus, Boing have concepts running.
Rockets mars may use electrolysers for frozen water
to split in Hydrogen for fuel and oxygen for breathing.
Can I buy a fuel cell just to know?
You can, educational Kits, solar electrolyser/fuel cell car
cost $100. Low cost application fuel cell charger from
Medis charges your phone USB 5V etc, A home fuel cell starts
$ 2000 for solar hybrid recharging, running on ethanol/methanol.
Who is the most famous Hydrogen car user with PR impact?
The Petrol terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger California
with the first Hummer Hydrogen in public action and
California Hydrogen Highway Initiative (refill Hy stations).
His highness Prince Albert II Monaco has options for a
BMW hydrogen 7 california.
Olympic games Beijing we should see a lot of Hy buses.
View Solar Hydrogen Home/car Hy pioneer M. Stritzky
Hy residence located Hopewell/New Jersey USA video
Can I produce clean solar Hydrogen myself?
Yes, you can, make a simple test for solar
home electrolyser. Take a glas of water
bring the end of the solar cell copper
cables with 5 cm/ 1.5 inches distance into the water,
after 5 seconds bubbles show up in the water.
The Hydrogen bubbles are the ones at the Minus
Oxygen the Ones at the Plus. Don't forget your
solar cell needs sun, use any 12V, 3V what you have.
If not simulate wit a simple Little AA or AAA battery
to see the effect. In reality the bubbles are collected
in a part like a jar, then compressed and stored in
propane gas bottles or liquid Hydrogen for more density.
Any questions write Solarlife, I will answer.

SOLARLIFE, I like this story. It's good stuff.
Good info! Thanks!

SOLARLIFE, I like this story. It's good stuff. Just as long as the price of water doesn't go up I am 100% behind this system!

Gibbo don't worry, you need very little water to split into Hydrogen and Oxygen, it never gets lost it recombines after "burning" to water, it's here again, closed cycle. thanks for Flag

Thanks for Flag liamssoft, Uk London is the finance place for new tech companies, clean cars, solar, hydrogen, best place even for Californians

I hope we start seeing something good coming out of London especially new technology that saves us money.
