Jack Nicholson is demonstrating his new car in 1978, one that that doesn't run on gasoline but on hydrogen.

I wish we could, ...( 4 months ago by RomasaleenA59)
I wish we could, but recently I've heard that America has become extremely dependent on oil, so much in fact, that it would be nearly impossible to boycott oil all together and still keep America running...but I also see a problem in the American public..people complain a lot, but don't really DO anything about it..I just hope we can find a solution before the ridiculous gas prices become far too much to bear..

This technology was used by Roy McAlister fifty years ago. His first conversion was a Ford flat head engine over fifty years ago. He now has a pickup truck and a Chevy Geo that he has been driving for eighteen years and has NOT purchased any gasoline for his vehicles to run on.
These gas prices ...( 4 months ago by SnowfallEon)
These gas prices aren't ridiculous, at least not in America. The Europeans who pay 7,8,9 dollars per gallon have something to gripe about. Americans have it good. Electricity is cheap here. And your argument is flawed because if we invest in alternative fuel/energy sources we won't be dependent on foreign oil at all. You're right though, Americans are doing little.. but recently we've begun to drive slightly less. I hope this trend continues, among other trends for that matter.

unbelievable - this technology has been available for decades and yet because oil companies supress the technology through patents and bribes nothing has happened. People wake up and take to the streets - demand an alternative to oil!

they havent been dicking around like you say they've been suppressed,,listen even if you had electric cars..how do you make enough electric to charge that many cars and houses ..well you do it by burning fossil fuels ..so in short what have you gained..you see hydrogen is 90 percent of the universe,s weight...yes the UNIVERSE, and when you burn hydrogen its only by product is water..right you could make a close loop energy system ..water to hydro back to water
And where does the ...( 4 months ago by ToxicEuth)
And where does the hydrogen come from? Seperating it from oxygen? Well that takes energy as well. Either way the problem is the source energy not hydrogen or electricity, we could solve both problems by using solar power and then would you use that energy to later make hydrogen, or would you just use the electrical energy you make and put it into your car?
Ok,I see what your ...( 4 months ago by frostbitewinterwind)
Ok,I see what your getting at.I think you know that hydrogen does'nt come from oxygen (mistype)..I think with as many hydrocarbon burning uses out there that hydrogen is very important and should be in the fore front it produces alot of clean energy.and it can be produced alot cheaper than electric and can be made from chemical reaction but if you like electric cars over hydro cars /..why not It still is better than hydrocarbons..And I can make electricity with hydrogen...lol
hydrogen is in ...( 4 months ago by frostbitewinterwind)
hydrogen is in almost everything in this world and universe so you could get it out of more than water although H2O is two hydrogen and one oxygen....nice ratio ...and easy to separate.. your right my bad..have a good one

The problems with ...( 4 months ago by walter777777)
The problems with hydrogen fuel for automobiles are manifold. Hydrogen fuel at normal pressures do not provide enough BTUs for the space that the tanks take up, but thsi problem may be corrected by putting the gas at very high pressures in the tanks.
Having highly pressurized hydrogen gas in a car is a terrible safety hazard which will result in at some point having an accident where all that will be left after a collision will be ashes of the passengers and fragments of the cars.

The amount of ...( 4 months ago by Runepriest442)
The amount of energy that can be gleaned from solar energy via "panels" today is almost 50x that of 1978.
And with Nano Solar Technology able to nano engineer spray on Solar "panels" in a paint form, our arguments against are moot.
With a Rubippy catalyst AND Nano Solar enhanced Spray on application. The amount of Energy in kJ per sec is almost quadrupled.
So 475 kJ of Solar energy from he Sun can output 410kJ of Energy for Hydrogen conversion of H2O.
Nuff Said.

I hope to God we run out of oil. Then we'll HAVE to use that available technology. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. We have several oceans full of hydrogen resource. Don't wait for the "experts" to come to our rescue. Ordinary people should work on their own solutions.

Actually, it was a scam. It was a diversion to stop us from developing sound electric vehicles that are not dependent on a central corporation to deliver energy to us.

It is known that the hydrogen fuel cell works, but diatomic hydrogen (H2) is not generally available. It can be made (hydrolyzed), but that requires more energy than is returned by the fuel cell. It is, therefore, a net energy loss. If you are a millionaire like Jack, than you can spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy solar cells and produce your own hydrogen gas. Otherwise, no luck. So science needs to develop a catalyst to reduce the amount of energy required to produce H2 from water.

Its just laziness that we haven't yet found a renewable fuel source. Jack Nicholson was thirty years ahead of his time, so I'm guessing its going to take another thirty years before the government actually does something.
