This reminds me of the Burke one stroke opposed engine that runs on detonation, not the slow burning of our regular combustion engines. Very cool 😎, thanks! 😁

Solar panels should skip battery storage and just use all the energy from the sun to make hydrogen directly from salt water

[@rjung_ch]

That's what the Australian government has plans to do.

[@David-kd5mf]

@@rjung_ch oh really, good to hear that

[@omegarugal9283]

it would take days to store enough power

[@jamesbishop9156]

Always set your timing at top dead center because hydrogen has a faster flame propergation than carbon fuels. 😁😎

I'm planning on getting back into my work on Meyer's technology in March and all of this is good news to me as it means the technology has a future. Since I do appear to the last man standing still working on this technology and that has many any real progress with it this is some very welcome news for me as once I show them the viability of this technology companies would be a fool to turn it down since the only thing that will be in the tank of vehicles using this technology is water. I think for you and I this is a dream coming into reality, though it sure took it's time, huh? But better late than never.

[@jamesbishop9156]

I must say that hydrogen has storage issues. Extremely highly pressured carbon fiber tanks are required for feasibility...😎

For over 15 years we have been spending 1000$ of dollars every year in my home lab to develop ultra efficient hydrogen/oxygen electrolysis generators to power ICE (internal combustion engines). Until today I had little hope that the conversion of existing ICE to hydrogen power was dim due to the valve overlap caused preignition and low thermodynamics using hydrogen. I was unaware of the existence of 2 stoke opposed piston engines until today. Due to your vision to use these 2 stoke-opposed piston engines with hydrogen, I can see hope for the future for hydrogen powered vehicles. God speed to you guys and gals! Captain Willy

[@omegarugal9283]

that makes no sense, how can you spend all that time and effort and NOT being aware of 2 stroke engines?

[@danmaycock9238]

A good business idea would be to adapt any and every engine to run on H2; easy money.

[@vv247]

its super cool , its a great option for I.C.E ... Have you covered Nikolas Hydrogen Fuel Cell heavy trucks ? ...in production in California.

There is another angle to the hydrogen engine's potential usability in transitioning to cleaner fuels. It's called a GEET reactor, by inventor Paul Pantone. Essentially, it is a fuel rectifier which transmutes heavy fuels into synthetic hydrogen. You need to investigate this further to appreciate it fully. The point being, that multifuel and water for fuel are all possible if there is an efficient hydrogen engine able to run on GEET gas available. So this engine couples naturally with GEET fuel rectification technology, meaning that today all currently available fuels can be used as sources for synthetic hydrogen. Hence we don't have to wait for hydrogen infrastructure to begin a green efficiency regime anymore. All we need is to commercially develop GEET reactors which couple with this new OP hydrogen engine, and on-road multi-fuel super efficient transportation is within reach.

Elsbett-Engine 100y old and pulsed electrolysis (Stanley Meyer...) is also known for ~40y. So the question is: Will OPEC (and other stakeholder) watch this development silently and risk to lose a trillion $/y industry?

[@jamesbishop9156]

The downfall of water electrolysis to hydrogen and oxygen for vehicles is that water is considered ash from the recombination of hydrogen and oxygen. Water tanks would have to be much larger than the original fuel tanks to achieve the same mileage as carbon fuels. Also, the same problem exists in hydrogen storage capacity. Technologies for higher storage density of hydrogen need to be used, such as nanotechnology.

[@TheMacronical]

Will hydrogen infrastructure make it feasible beyond off-road equipment & perhaps locomotive going forward? don't get me wrong, hydrogen can be great & offroad represents a big % of global emissions. But I just feel trying to scale the technology any further, will lead it more into dead ends.

[@seogabonotjah6555]

because the current govt still prefer the battery. hydrogen is future for me

[@sblsbl7600]

I think the 90% amonia and 10% gas mixture is the fuel of the future.

[@rjung_ch]

This would be so much better if Aramco wasn't involved in the process. But my hope is that they are better than Exxon and don't just put the patents into a closet. We need to get away from the oil industry sooner than later. Oil companies have lied to us all for the last 40+ years. That's my biggest concern.

[@lablancengineering2]

tunnel vision. keeping your eye on the ball.

[@Subarooturbo]

Thanks for the great information but Hydrogen is a dead end.

[@rjung_ch]

That's what some say. Personally I don't think it's true.

[@mcsike7264]

​ i mean they are literally shutting down hydrogen stations rn BC no one us using em they brake all the time and they are too expensive to run

[@karterwebs742]

No it doesn't.
