Default Re: Diesel Hybrid?

Well, its only a transporter/carrier/storage for energy... we still need to produce the energy, but thats the great thing about this hydrogen pill - its now possible to produce renewable energy, such as energy from windmills, wave energy devices, solar panels etc. and then use it a later time...

ex. if they made an ocean windmill that could store the energy directly into this technology, then they would have all the things needed for a energy producing "monster"... free energy from the wind, free hydrogen (H2O - splitting ocean water into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis) + free salt from the ocean (one of the main components in the pill). The EROI would be very positiv, we could use the energy, whenever we need it and polution will be almost nothing compared with many fossil fuels today.

Not sure, if it can compete with oil (production cost for oil is $2-$10 per barrel, which makes you wonder how oil can become so expensive in no time)... but if we want to lower the CO2 pollution, make us less depended on oil + create millions of new jobs in the western world, then this is positive step forward...

If politicians want it, then I´m willing to bet that in 5 years from now, there will be cell phones, laptops, cams etc. that will only use hydrogen for power, and that in 10 years from now hydrogen cars will become normal in large cities.
