Mike Copeland of Arrington Performance has been around the auto industry a long time. 25 years at General Motors doing special projects Mike has gathered the connections to create the worlds first functional Hydrogen powered Chevrolet LS Swap that has passed the EPA testing! This truck sounds and drives exactly like a conventional gasoline powered hot rod but with zero C02 emissions! Many naysayers have given Hydrogen bad press but that did not deter Mike and his friends at Bosch from doing the R&D to figure out this package. Someday in the near future you will be able to convert your existing vehicle to renewable Hydrogen power! Mike explains to us how that will be possible in this video!

As a GM technician and ASE certified master technician that was also my favorite part in this video and thats saying something. The ingenuity and calculations it must have taken to build this is insane. We have a saying as techs that "technicians are the people who fix the problems engineers create". So seeing what this man has accomplished is kind of like witnessing a "piece de resistance" in our lifetime right in front of us. This is a original and amazing truck/fuel system but sadly not groundbreaking. I hope he remembers the fiero that ran on water and the outcome of that technician/engineer, the car, and all the papers that showed how to vaporize the water to separate the oxygen from the hydrogen fuel source. When he couldn't be bought out by the big petroleum corporations he simply vanished along with every bit of his research and development on the fiero. Be careful with this technology! There are a lot of people that stand to lose very large fortunes and have shown that they can get away with silencing creative ideas that threaten their way of life already.

I’ve had a personal belief that hydrogen is the future for the past 20 years and still fervently believe it is, but always thought you would have to dilute it to make it work with existing technology - or “dirty it”, as I say. However, after seeing so much experimentation and testing on the subject with small engines, I started to realize we didn’t need to beef up engines to make it work. Pure hydrogen can run on any engine, provided enough supply and metered correctly for the application. This video makes me firmly believe we are on the way. It is going to happen someday. I just hope I am around to see it become the norm.

I cannot believe how easy it is to manipulate Americans, and how poorly informed the American people are. This engine is a nice hobby project, kudo's for the craftsmanship and all that, but that is as far as it will go for all the obvious reasons. Internal combustion engines are going to be illegal by law to sell after 2035 in Europe and the rest of the continents, regardless what fuel it burns. Those laws have already been passed. And nobody is going to reverse that. The reason is simple. An internal combustion engine wastes at least 70% of its fuel to heat regardless what fuel it burns. And that is simply too much waste to use this type of inferior technology on a global scale as a drive train for road vehicles for the mass of the people. It takes a lot of energy and money to produce that hydrogen. And producing all that hydrogen is only cost effective if it is used more efficiently. And for car manufacturers it is not cost effective to keep developing two different technologies at the same time. And since ICE technology is going to be banned completely in Europe and the other continents after the year 2035 it makes no sense to keep developing new ICE technology. So that is the reason why ALL the major car manufacturers in the world, including the Americans, have already announced that they completely stopped investing in new ICE technology and they are only investing in new electric cars and trucks. And you can check this for yourself really easy.

@@insAneTunA until there are cleaner solutions for electricity, it's a big step sideways. If this push for electric was about the environment, they would ask people to keep their current car as long as possible, or provide government programs to assist people in fixing a current car, instead of pushing the idea of buying something else entirely out of most people's budget. Would cut down on manufacturing emissions, toxic batteries being built, VOC from everything in the manufacturing process. It makes you 100% dependent on having a clean, ethical source of materials to build them. And clean electricity. They won't proceed with any nuclear power, because if clean, cheap electricity was available, they loose money. Next steps they will stop making parts force people to "upgrade". And people fixing cars will be hunted down and jailed. Auto racing will be outlawed while they fly away in private jets, producing more emissions than all the cars in the United States put together.

@@Stapleton42 Here we go again. You are only reading half of their announcement. 🤣😂Allow me to school You. Despite its goal of an all battery electric vehicle portfolio by 2035, General Motors Co. announced Friday almost a billion dollars in new manufacturing investments-most of which is related to production of new internal combustion engines. (it is a manufacturing investment in their latest existing engines, not a new development investment for a new model engine, those are two completely different things) For GM, the additional investments to bolster internal combustion engines are aimed at supporting its new line of pickup trucks and SUVs. Those are the automaker's main profitmakers, providing cash and capital the company can use to develop the company's future battery-electric cars and trucks. So let me explain this. This is not a long term investment in new ICE development, but it is an investment in the production of existing old technology. Those are their latest engines with no new developments. Do you understand that? And the profit that they are going to make with those last ICE cars and trucks is going to be used to develop and produce and sell electric cars and trucks after 2035. Like I said, they still have some existing projects running, and that will slowly fase out. After all they still have 12 years to go. And as soon as the kalender says that it is 2035 even GM will only sell electric cars and trucks. The engines that they are going to produce will be their last internal combustion engine. And the pickup trucks and SUV's are mainly sold in the US. It is not even meant for export. You should not be doing this, I mean you should not try to fool or mislead other people or yourself by telling only half the story or by ignoring the full truth and most important facts of the story. Because stories like this can be verified in mere milliseconds. And now it looks as if you are making a fool out of yourself. And you can only blame yourself for that. Because it is most certainly not my intention. I just want to make sure that people are aware of the facts. I like your history videos, stick with that. Talking about the future is not your strength.

So badass! Great work guys this proof of concept is amazing. Mr. Toyoda had the right mindset all along but some people accused him of being anti-BEV. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, it’s zero emission, you can derive it from other elements unlike BEVs that still require mining, etc. and not to mention complications in disposing the packs. BEVs still can be purposed in other applications, just not sustainable in private and public transportation. Oh and to hell with an E-Ray, I want an H-Ray 😂

noun the chemical element of atomic number 7, a colorless, odorless unreactive gas that forms about 78 percent of the earth's atmosphere. Liquid nitrogen (made by distilling liquid air) boils at 77.4 kelvins (−195.8°C) and is used as a coolant. Not Nitrogen dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula NO ₂. It is one of several nitrogen oxides. NO ₂ is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of nitric acid, millions of tons of which are produced each year for use primarily in the production of fertilizers. At higher temperatures it is a reddish-brown gas.

History being rehashed is more accurate. The H2H was an experiment in exactly this 20 years ago...and it failed for the reasons I've posted elsewhere - energy in to energy out just won't cut it. It takes 50kWh of electricity to generate 8.4kWh at the wheels (not quite 14hp for an hour or 55hp for 15 minutes). If we could produce hydrogen closer to the 33kWh of energy it can hold per kg *and* have some sort of combustion engine which is more than double what the theoretical "perfect" piston engine could ever be and it would start getting close to EV efficiency. It's just not a viable option for most use cases. Old hotrods and maybe some racing? Potentially...but for short sprints like drag racing I forsee electric motors and lightweight capacitor banks.

@online247365
@online247365 11 ай бұрын
You can't smell those buses because they are EVs! The big difference between that bus (and many like it across the country, particularly here in CA) and Mike's truck is like night & day though; hydrogen-powered public transportation buses are actually electric motor powered (think Tesla EVs) buses that use hydrogen fuel fed into a very expensive fuel cell stack (usually P.E.M. or Proton Exchange Membrane) converts it into electricity to power the electric motor(s). By contrast, Mike is directly fueling a “standard" (though high performance built) internal combustion engine in place of gasoline. Mike's method is not only much simpler but can also be employed much more affordably if that is the goal. Clearly, in Mike's case, performance was the goal and low emissions are a happy byproduct of his fuel choice. It's a win-win but VERY different from the buses that are essentially extremely expensive EVs that have highly complex systems (regenerative brakes), expensive components (electric motors & batteries), require a LOT of maintenance, and the fuel cells use costly rare metals (ie. Platinum) that also wear out and the stack has to be rebuilt fairly often, and of course you have to mine the earth for a LOT of the things that go on to making the components. They are an excellent way to waste taxpayer money while acting/feeling like they're “helping the planet". Meanwhile, Mike's super sweet hotrod actually DOES benefit the planet by not only being able to use a clean fuel source but also by actively cleaning the air that it pulls into the motor and outputting even cleaner air out the tailpipe! 👍🏻

The gas was simply plumed into the air filter being sucked out of the 5 Gal bucket. I gained 3 mi a gal on the open road when steady driving but gained nothing in stop & go driving. Then one day on a rough road the 5 Gal plastic electrolyte bucket exploded big time from the Pos+ Neg- screens making contact from the electrolyte sloshing around causing a spark exploding the side open. If this were a steel electrolyte container it would have been deadly, that's why I chose plastic because I knew Murphys Law may be revenant, as is, when you're trying to reinvent reality...< the fun part of life.

It was piston engined and made an enjoyable amount of noise and smoke. But when I restarted my hobby in So California about 2010 the local flying club's airfield only allowed electric powered planes. Aww. I miss the sounds, but not the mess and hassle of tuning and cleaning the engines. Electrics are so much simpler, EXCEPT for the radio programming complexities. Well, by the sounds of the engine on this truck I hope this technology becomes available en-mass while I am alive and well, driving. On one hand I can get excited, but on the other expect probable difficulties in bringing this stuff to fruition. Good luck, and may God bless.

The two reasons we have battery-powered EVs is harvesting hydrogen is very expensive & it costs more energy to harvest hydrogen than the hydrogen itself produces. Think of it like this: Option A: You can go into a bank and ask them to sell you a $5 note for $10, then you can take your new $5 to a store to buy stuff. Option B: you skip the bank. You go straight to the store with your $10 and buy twice as much stuff while creating twice as much litter. Which option are you going to pick?

​​@@GiantAsteroid-2024except you forgot batteries have to be produced and are expensive and than need to be recycled. There is a reason why EVs cost a lot more than ICE cars. According to newest studies after 200 000 KM Golf Diesel in its production and use produces less CO2 than ID 3.

I remember a lot of talk back in the nineties about alternative fuels. I’m glad these guys are pursuing hydrogen as a fuel. I hope they are successful in proving that it’s realistic. Awesome stuff!!

What is a LARGEST GREENHOUSE GAS - WATER VAPOR 10 TIMES more of it in the atmosphere than CO2 Guess what is causing FLOODS, TORNADOS HAL, CROP DAMAGE from all this EXCESSIVE RAIN. WATER VAPOR. If we use the rational for cutting CARBON, how is WATER VAPOR the solution? YEAAAA - Lets use COAL to increase the WATER VAPOR with 100 MILLION hydrogen cars spewing WATER VAPOR. Hope you can swim Stupidest idea ever

Best vehicle conversion yet. I personally did up an HHO cell that ran my project 350sbc at idle no problem so I knew hydrogen would work, but this is a way better setup and way more useful. Ans way more cleaner than an EV!

It still produces NOx gasses... fuel cell seems like the best method overall, but how do you get the temperatures down low enough that you no longer heat the nitrogen to the point of creating oxides?

hello Mike, i remember the first hydrogen gas i used in my 1998 Buick Par Avenue. it was a regenerated unit that used K-potassium mixed with water, passing that was electrolysis to produce hydrogen. i took it to the smog inspection just for testing the result. the guy couldn't believe the exhaust gas NO2 was way below the required smog spec. anyway, there was no way the DMV will allow. matter factly it did boost couple mileage per gallon. i still have the kit for this contraption. great to know you have a real deal here. i'm waiting to buy or convert my truck to hydrogen once the price goes down some. ty, Bob

1kg hydrogen = 1g gas energy content That is undeniable, same total energy content His tank was slightly more than 3kg total capacity. Do you see the problem yet? Finally we can see the efficiency of ICE hydrogen vs ICE gas. Hydrogen is slightly worse but it’s still being researched and tested by a lot of $$ so we could just assume it’s figured out and call it a wash. His engine was 500 hp or so? How far do you think it could go on that 3kg tank? His claimed 300 miles would mean his 500hp blown v8 getting the equivalent off 100 miles per gallon/kg

@@somenygaard You can speculate as much as you want and toss around a bunch of numbers. The reality is that hydrogen technology is still in its infancy, and we still have a long way to go. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe and that's all I need to know to stand behind it. We will find a way, it's just a matter of time.

I'm glad you asked this question about filling stations at home 24:17 This will be a game changer when this happens. If I can refill 3 kilograms of H2 overnight, is that even doable from home? How much power would that draw? Could you "plug in" your garden hose or would you have to use natural gas? This is the future. I hope more people like Mike Copeland keep tinkering with this technology! Eventually we'll have a Mr. Fusion strapped to our DeLorean. Keep this content coming! ⚛
