Hydrogen as a simple fuel

Found a great video then post it up here. It doesn't have to be about bikes.

I remember researching Alternative Energy` as a thesis in 1988 .. things have certainly moved on since then.
As already mentioned here, there seems to be an abundance of alternatives for powering 2 wheels in the future.
But what about Nuclear Energy? We already have nuclear powered submarines, with or without nuclear payloads, as well as nuclear powered Mars Rovers (how does that work? lol ), and that is quite small.

While i have been sleeping, in recent years, `they` appear to have invented Nuclear Fusion, using magnetism and pistons to compress hydrogen as a plasma, so producing heat from the fusion of the atoms, which then heats water, hence steam, hence turbines, hence electricity / energy. A demonstration plant is due to open in the UK in 2025.

How do you fancy one of dem between yor legs lol?

"As MTF only requires hydrogen as a fuel and its main waste product is helium, the Fusion Demonstration Plant demonstrates a carbon-free way to create electricity."

Making Hydrogen is simple, but I read somewhere once that as our water is not just H2O, it needs chemically cleaning up before it can be used, which may or may not be an issue. As a water and electricity process we are well placed to make use of it, instead of driving fuel all over the country it could be made on site at the filling station as required.

Use a fuel call and it will last for a long time too, combine with battery storage (not just a wee battery to start etc.) and you have a hybrid to extend range.

The technology has been tested on trains, so an electric train can be used where no electric lines are installed.

I think it is because the car manufacturers think that battery technology will develop quickly that they don't invest and go down this route, when you can go, say 300 miles on a charge, why bother developing Hydrogen?

Except, of course, that this is of little use to mile crunchers.

The extended battery range myth continues!!!---------its basic physics and chemistry--its all about energy storage DENSITY--kWh/m3---there are limits--there is no magic pill--just minor improvements. I chatted to a guy servicing an electric charging point in a motorway service station--he was running an "all electric " van. I asked to look inside and it was quite spacious with all the batteries under the floor. I asked about range--and he said about 60 miles BUT with the generator running (petrol) its about 300 !!--it has a small , very efficient constant speed generator under the bonnet continuously charging the batteries. I said that it wasn't all electric then--but apparently because the drive is ALWAYS electric it falls into this class. To me that sort of combination is the perfect solution--and it could be a hydrogen powered generator.

There's a Youtuber who lives in the Midlands that drives around the Country servicing EV's and he runs a Nissan EV van (not a hybrid). He also covers battery repairs where he replaces individual cells, it's really informative about real World ownership.

Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

You might galvanise someone into action though.
