It has a low gravimetric energy value so you carry more weight, it is difficult to ignite (good in regards to safety, bad for use inside an ICE), very picky about the mixing ratio, storage in a vehicle also has its challenges and there are few other quirks thus the why it is not considered widely which is common sense and not painfully ignored.

[@bulletproofrecon1082]

They didn’t need to “liquify” the hydrogen. That’s the costly part, not for them but for the customer. Electrolysis isn’t the difficult part…at all. The reason they liquified the hydrogen after remaking the internal combustion compartment of the engine was to ensure the customer couldn’t make the liquid hydrogen themselves. Electrolysis separates the oxygen from the hydrogen. It is not a costly or difficult task to do. Instead of having just a hydrogen tank, they should have had the electrolysis onboard the vehicle and had a pressurized tank hold only the amount about to be used. That way there would be no risk of explosion. The mileage would be far greater than using liquid hydrogen which is a wasteful way of using hydrogen.

[@instablaster.]

Don't bother 😂 the person who made this video doesn't know what he's talking about

[@imilegofreak]

Where would you take the energy from for the electrolysis on board? Batteries? Thats just an EV with extra steps.

[@bulletproofrecon1082]

@@imilegofreak so energy is never lost they say but only transferred. In this case, it starts with a charged battery, but the battery would produce more energy than it creates. The power the hydrogen provides would be greater than the charge required for electrolysis. After the start of the engine, the alternator would create the rest of the hydrogen through electrolysis. Additionally, adding steps like break charging, and adding a turbo.

[@timothyhackett7372]

It won't work. From a thermodynamics perspective, the energy needed to split water into hydrogen and oxygen is at most the same amount of energy you'd get by burning the hydrogen and oxygen. This means you wouldn't be able to generate hydrogen and power the car at the same time without a net excess of energy in the system, which violates the fundamental law that energy cannot be created, only transferred from one state to another. This idea is similar to expecting to get more energy out of a battery than you put into it. In reality, if you put 1 kW into a battery, you can only get 1 kW back from it in a perfect world. In your scenario, it would be like expecting to get 2 kW back from the battery, which is like expecting a perpetual motion machine, and that's not realistic.

[@bulletproofrecon1082]

@@timothyhackett7372 not necessarily. That’s assuming it takes the same amount of energy to split hydrogen from oxygen to the energy created from an explosion created by hydrogen. The factor you’re not taking into account is the oxygen added for free from the atmosphere to combined with the hydrogen to create the explosion. A great example of this is a turbo, which uses biproduct to increase productivity with no loss to consumer energy. It’s not energy from nowhere, but like the FMA series the law of equivalent exchange. Combining oxygen from the atmosphere with hydrogen is not the same as hydrogen connected to an oxygen molecule. Both hydrogen and oxygen are flammable. By separating the hydrogen from the oxygen molecule through electrolysis, the hydrogen atoms not needing ignited would pull in oxygen from a cylinder during the explosion of the piston moving down, and during the full rotation of a cylinder, it compresses oxygen and hydrogen for the next explosion. Not all the energy is being used to move vs the components as you assume. The weight of the pistons creates momentum that can be gained during a rotation and is further enhanced by gravity tipping the scales to increase energy production per cycle.

[@Deathunder]

Coming from the CEO of TOYTOTA,then YES,they will disrupt the Industry indeed.!!!

[@francisbatista3533]

The size of the tanks is not only because they made them safer, it is about Hydrogen's much lower density in terms by volume. If gasoline and hydrogen are both in liquid form, for the same energy, hydrogen would need 6 times larger tanks than a gasoline.

There's other draw backs. If you don't got a house with a garage to store and charge it your screwed in cold climates. If you need too tow heavy stuff, EVs definitely ain't it. Battery drains just as fast as if you held throttle all the way for the whole trip. Performance EVs for the most part suck outside of straight line acceleration. The best ones are too expensive for the avg consumer. Face the facts. Electric is nowhere near ready for mass adoption, especially in a huge country like States.

While hydrogen technology sounds and looks like a very good future, keep in mind, the EV industry is failing because of the Li-Ion batteries only. As soon as someone figures out how to manufacture fast, cheap and easy a Solid State Battery, the story is going to change. An EV with a SSB can be fully recharged in a few minutes, can go much further and does not wear out that quickly. The only problem with SSBs right now is the manufacturing cost. That is way to high. If someone like QuantumScape for example figures out the manufacturing, we can simply swap the Li-Ion batteries in every EV to these new SSBs and keep on going.

Hydrogen is highly explosive in a wide ratio of fuel to air mixtures. Also: Hydrogen embrittlement, also known as hydrogen-assisted cracking or hydrogen-induced cracking, is a reduction in the ductility of a metal due to absorbed hydrogen. Hydrogen atoms are small and can permeate solid metals. Once absorbed, hydrogen lowers the stress required for cracks in the metal to initiate and propagate, resulting in embrittlement. Also: To exist as a liquid, H2 must be cooled below its critical point of 33 K. However, for it to be in a fully liquid state at atmospheric pressure, H2 needs to be cooled to 20.28 K (−252.87 °C; −423.17 °F). And: Compressed hydrogen in hydrogen tanks at 350 bar (5,000 psi) and 700 bar (10,000 psi) is used for mobile hydrogen storage in hydrogen vehicles.

personally, I think evs are better, their is still less efficiency with hydrogen, since you need to use the electricity to produce hydrogen, then again burn that hydrogen into heat energy. Whereas, in evs you store electricity and use it directly. Less steps make evs more efficient. Beside, I wouldn't want to carry around a pressurized bomb in my car.

The other combustion engine companies are way behind them in just only a few years, and you are telling me no one is buying EVs. And in USA EVs are expensive because US have put a 100% tariff on chinese EVs, since they can't compete with them. Apart from sells, if you look at a combustion engine, most of it energy is bound to be lost in the atmosphere. The cycles can't be completed without losing the hot exhaust gases releasing even in Hydrogen engines. So, they can never be as efficient as EVs. Moreover battery technology is improving really fast. In about 10 years or so , batteries would store more energy that traditional fuel cylinders.

Wrong on all counts. Lithium mining is far more environmentally friendly then continually exploiting fossil fuels. Lithium most definitely can be recycled. I suggest you take a look at the Alberta tar sands. Hydrogen is a dead end. The number of hydrogen refuelling stations is small and actually declining. Using green electricity to produce hydrogen to burn in an ICE is exremely dumb. The amount of energy lost between the electricity and the wheels will be sometthing like 90%. Remember an ICE is only 25% efficient even if it is powered by hydrogen.

If you want to know that automotive future look at Toyota. We built them. Because they gave us what we didn’t know we needed. And they haven’t lost that.

Combustion of ammonia can produce NOx which mean it will have to be fine tuned (driving cost up) to produce as little as possible, maintained (driving cost up) to keep it within emission norms and of course vulnerable to be axed by politicians at any time. Just hydrogen has non of those problems. 0 emissions no matter if it is a new engine or 20 year old barely working piece of junk owned by a meth addict with last maintenance done 10 years ago. There is also problem with zoning for fuel stations. They will basically a mini ice hockey stadiums with more ammonia and thus bigger kill zone than gasoline stations, hydrogen station and ice hockey stadium combined. We have a stadium in out city and in case of a major ammonia leak almost quarter of it will have to be evacuated according to current evacuation plans. Good luck building building this but bigger (in terms of the amount of stored ammonia) all over town.

What's not ever mentioned regarding electrolysis and hydrogen creation, is that the liberation of hydrogen from water, is increased and continues to increase at low power when a closed loop is created. When the gas recombines back to water, that water must be recycled back to the electrolysis tank. The water molecular becomes easier to break down into hydrogen the more times the H2O mol gose through the cycle and requires less and less Watts to get the same volume of gas.

To extract Hydrogen or ammonium, electricity is use to generate or separate Hydrogen from the atmosphere. Petroleum is required to generate Electricity and Electricity is use for the process of Electrolysis or separation of Hydrogen or Ammonium from the atmosphere or any other sources. At last, Petroleum must be used to generate Electricity and Electricity is usec in the process of Electrolysis. So, the Chinese Dialect says 'Lan Par is also Par Lan'. (Meaning the same - Petroleum must be used)

[@mlester3001]

Ammonia sounds promising but I remember growing up in Houston when a tanker truck carrying ammonia crashed on the intersection of 610 Loop and Southwest Freeway falling off an elevated roadway onto the pavement below rupturing the tank and killing the driver and every living thing the ammonia gas contacted including all the plant life such as grass leaving a huge brown area of dead grass surrounding where the tanker landed. I have never forgotten in the decades since this happened how deadly the ammonia gas was. Not to mention that I routinely use ammonia as a disinfectant to clean my kitchen and bathroom floors. If an ammonia powered car should crash, it had better have very sturdy tanks securing the ammonia.

[@nordiccitizen]

My issue with hydrogon vs electric, is that I can mount solar panels and batteries on my house. And generate some if not all of the electricity that i need for driving. Hydrogen would put me back into having to buy it from a vendor. I don't think cars are where Hydrogen would shine, it would be in transport industries instead. Where the consumption is that much higher, than a regular citizen. We are at the cusp of fusion energy, if that comes, then electricity will be almost free, because of how abundent it will be. And somewhere in the future, batteries will also take a leap forward. So I have a hard time seeing Hydrogen as the answer.

Several Problems 1. Hydrogen while readily available isn't free in our atmosphere. It is bonded with Oxygen mostly as water and that means it has to be separated. 2. The power needed to extract Hydrogen from water can be used directly to charge a battery 3. Using Electricity to extract Hydrogen from water to then store the Hydrogen to then create electricity to power a vehicle is really a waste of Energy 4. If you use a combustion engine to use Hydrogen have several issues due to the high volatile nature of Hydrogen 5. Hydrogen would need to be compressed to such a high level it would be unsafe and un feasable. 6. If you decide to go and create fuel cells then you are not getting a good return on the energy and it is very expensive and the life spans of a fuel cell would be too short. 7. Finally what is the cost of extracting all the Hydrogen to the enviornment. Instead you can use Natural Gas 1. It's readily available 2. It burns way cleaner than gasoline 3. Any Engine is easily converted 4. Much easier to compressed and convert vehicles to that fuel source.

Toyota Mirai customers are filing class action suits against Toyota, as H2 is hugely expensive, there are few places to fill up (only in CA and mostly around major population centers) and the refill stations are frequently out of H2, so you have to hope you have enough H2 left to go somewhere else. I don't believe that an IC engine burning H2 will improve H2 car mileage, as IC engines have far more loss due to heat, moving parts and IC specific systems like water pumps, water coolers, oil pumps injection systems, transmissions, etc., all of which require energy.
