The JCB Hydrogen Engine Is RIPPING APART the Industry Norms!

[@RangieNZ]

The problem with EV-powered heavy equipment, is the charge time. As these machines are very often used in places that don't have mains power (especially high-current power supplies), you are limited to slow, low current charging. I've seen videos where the TWO hours of use, requires EIGHT hours of charging from diesel generator - that amount of downtime and emissions is just totally unacceptable. Hopefully Hydrogen ICE will provide a way forward.

[@rare_wubbox360]

Hydrogen is a dead end imho Reminds me of Volvo bev truck vs Tesla truck.. the former takes forever to charge, and have just a few hour run time. In other Word its useless Tesla truck can run an entire day.. and need 30min to charge up to 90%… Bet Bev trucs and tractors is the future - but the old players will not bring us compelling products..

[@RangieNZ]

@@rare_wubbox360If you do the maths though on those 'Tesla semi chargers' each charger would be consuming the same electricity as ~1400 homes, which is just insanity! The electric grid cannot cope with that amount of load turning on and off..

⁠​⁠@@RangieNZGuess what, a vehicle with hydrogen combustion engine consumes 5 times as much as that.

[@RangieNZ]

@@Simon-dm8zv The thing with hydrogen though, is it can be done constantly, in the background (- say using renewables) over hours or days and then stored in tanks. Filling the vehicle takes just a few minutes to transfer the gas.

[@Simon-dm8zv]

@@RangieNZ Still doesn’t justify the very low efficiency. Most EVs also charge slowly in the background during the day and night. Fast chargers can be equipped with batteries to buffer.

if burning pure oxygen and hydrogen pnly then you will produce nothing but steam , but your burning hydrogen plus air and air contains nitrogen so you are actually producing steam and NOX

[@charleshall5958]

Hydrogen is being promoted & invested in by not only JCB but many other large industrial or mining companies. For example Fortescue the huge Australian mining company announced today the opening of a 2GW electrolyser stack business in Queensland. Additionally its subsidiary Fortescue Future Industries is doing deals all over the planet promoting hydrogen.

[@SrikarKura]

Once Hydrogen infrastructure is ready, the mass adaptation of Hydrogen engines will be unstoppable.

[@Jim-nm1en]

What I find worrying about ev's is the number of spontaneous fires that these batteries cause. Take for example the recent cargo ship fire off Holland. All that the emergency services could do was spray water on the outside of the ships hull instead of pouring water on top of the ship which could have caused it to sink. Then there are the number of reports of lithium battery powered scooters setting fire in houses while on charge.There is another problem with ev batteries, how do you recycle them ? As far as I am aware, there is no financially viable method of doing this. The whole ev scenario just has not been properly thought through from day 1.

[@morphelan]

The weight of batteries in a JCB is a silly argument when they have to have a counterweight anyway. What I want to know is how big are the fuel tanks and how much does it cost to fill them?

[@fibreguy1971]

According to Lord Bamford the extra weight means every machine category which on excavators is based upon weight such as a 20t machine a 30t machine etc would go up a category without the increase in performance of that uncreased weight class. In other words it is massively more than the counterweight. Also machines frequently have to operate for over 16 hours in different shifts. Farm machinery such as harvesting equipment maybe even longer. This is why hydrogen is so exciting, same weight, same work, and quick refuelling. I therefore think he and his huge team of engineers are probably right.

[@morphelan]

@@fibreguy1971 I wouldn't be putting my money on Lord Bamford's engineers since they can't make a decent diesel engine as it is. Good diggers when they're actually running though.

[@Simon-dm8zv]

[@Yeolejayesh]

India JCB India is looking at selling more excavators in India and expects to sell around 20,000 machines this year.With rising spending on infrastructure going on across the country, the construction equipment industry has been seeing a surge in demand for excavators, which led to a 4x growth in the next seven to eight years. According to Deepak Shetty, CEO and managing director, JCB India, India is at number three in excavator manufacturing in the world behind China and the US and is soon going to be the second largest manufacturer in the world. From around 85,000 units annually, the country is all set to churn out 2,50,000 units by 2030 because of the infrastructure spent on roads, railways and mining.

[@paulcuthbert8353]

Excellent video! Very well explained! I personally think that the drive to a emission, pollution free transport future is multifaceted & shouldn’t be driven by political dogma! JCB, Toyota & other manufacturers are leading the way to this technological rather than forced transition to a carbon free future! 👍

[@jonathandelamarter9002]

Is there any thought to using your hydrogen engines in a hybrid electric vehicle?

[@paulraper6399]

Indeed Toyota has been working on hydrogen ICE's for years, and Cummins is also full on a pace with developing their own ICE's powered by hydrogen.

[@aidans6274]

No engine can burn fuel stoichiometrically. So, incomplete H2 combustion will include side reactions producing ammonia amongst other poisonous gases.

Nope. Hindenburg v2.0 Forget about H2 as s motor / heating / reticulated fuel. Anyway, wr need to DOUBLE the atmospheric concentration of CO2, otherwise we will face massive desertification and starvation. CO2 emissions must not be confused with pollution and particulates.

[@stuartwalkington2429]

The reason this will not work is simple Physics. If you generate 100 Watts of wind power. This is how much useful energy will remain to drive the wheels. Direct Charging EV 73 Watts (Losses: Transmission / Battery charging/motor efficiency) Hydrogen Fuel Cell 22 Watts (Losses: Electrolysis/Compression/transportation, Conversion, motor efficiency) Hydrogen combustion Engine 13 Watts (Losses: Electrolysis/Compression/transportation, combustion) I think it is obvious that using 6 times more raw energy will never be economically viable. It sounds like a good idea, but the physics says it is not.

Yes liquid hydrogen is the way to go as its a derivation of LPG one thing that wasnt mentioned was the equivelent run time on a tank of Hydrogen gas or liquid .. my experience in Canada was that LPG required to fillups a day to Diesels once a day ... The next that wasnt mentioned was cost compared to say diesel fuel taking into account distribution network in place ... Yes JCB visitations to the Factory i've lost count lol

[@Boogy75]

Hydrogen is what we should be developing instead of EVs. EVs might look nice on paper but our current electric grid can't handle them and the pollution created by making/disposing of the EVs batteries pretty much off sets the benefit. EVs are a good start but idk if it's the solution unless the batteries change

[@Simon-dm8zv]

EV is the best solution we have. Hydrogen will always remain too inefficient. We cannot afford consuming five times as much energy.

[@ItsAllJustBollox]

Due to the laws of physics energy cannot be created or lost only converted from one source to another hydrogen will never be as efficient as using electricity to power a vehicle. The losses in converting the electrical energy into hydrogen and then converting the hydrogen to power the vehicle will result in poor efficiency with a large proportion of the original energy turned into waste heat.

[@TheSalMaris]

I am desirous of hydrogen solutions vs .EVs-- it seems to be better that mining for lithium, which of course creates it's own problems.

[@mcfrosty8739]

[@Rich77UK]

Bamford is chairman. Other than saying "yes do that" he has zero input on this important engine. I will also NEVER forgive the tw@ for mailing all JCB staff explaining the "benefits" of Brexit.

[@TG-lp9vi]

No matter what chemistry one uses for batteries they are still batteries that only store electrons for a finite time and have limited longevity. Hydrogen on the other hand will combust in atmospheric air and turn into water with out GHG emissions, forever. That technology will never change its basic physics. So if the goal is to save the planet then Hydrogen for transportation is the only fuel that replaces Fossil fuels. And that is a fact. Batteries for transport are futile fantasy that will accelerate fossil fuel use because the mining for Lithium and cobalt and processing of, at large scale will demand more fossil fuel use. But we need to make more Green electricity to achieve this goal.

[@craigweems]

Recent investigations on the consequences of hydrogen leakage show environmental damage 12 times the damage of CO2. Until recently there was little research on hydrogen as a pollutant. There was an assumption that the only result of hydrogen leakage was the formation of water. It now appears that assumption was seriously in error.

[@900stx7]

Doesn't a I.C. engine produce CO2 the entire time it's running ? Compare this to a hydrogen "leak" that can be prevented with proper handling and maintenance.

[@causewaykayak]

Hydrogen is the future. JCB have done a great job in providing a very workable alternative to diesel. The nay sayers in these comments probably have a stake in EV technology. Where would all that lithium come from ? What about the pollution associated with future fly-tipping of car batteries ? Answer us that ! ! JCB is a Brit firm doing a great job for decades now.

[@ItsAllJustBollox]

Hydrogen can only contain the energy used to create it less the losses in conversion it is impossible to have twice the energy. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. Although, it may be transformed from one form to another.

[@Simon-dm8zv]

Hydrogen fuel cell is less inefficient than hydrogen combustion. That is what mr. Weston meant.

[@ItsAllJustBollox]

@@Simon-dm8zv yep, but still nothing like the 80% plus of an EV. Hydrogen fuel cells are generally between 40% to 60% energy efficient, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. This range compares to the typical internal combustion engine of a car, which is about 25% energy efficient.
