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!

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.

[@ryurc3033]

@@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.

And for cars with fuel cell technology hydrogen is a viable option as well, but then we are still talking about an electric motor as a drive train for the car or truck.

@@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.

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.

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?

We have a hydrogen bus in Canton, Ohio and I've driven behind it several times and am constantly amazed at the zero smell/emissions that come from it. Badassery I say !

[@online247365]

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! 👍🏻
