66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?
Hi Anders,
heres the neat thing about the hydrogen, a gasoline engine will run on it. no need for all the complicated stuff they are making to turn hydrogen to electricity to make electric power to run an electric motor on a car. i bet we will see devices to replace carburetors like the old propane carbs that used to be popular for propane conversions years ago. as a matter of fact, Los Angeles airport (LAX) has regular busses and passenger vans at the airport with injected gasoline piston engines engines running on hydrogen to keep the polution down. not an experiment, this is real world stuff.
i made a hydrogen generator a few years ago with stainless steel screen grids to convert salt water to hydrogen. you use water with baking soda and an anode and a cathode. the water in the middle. anode and cathode cannot touch each other. i was going to attach this on my chevy HHR and extend my mileage by having the engine suck in the hydrogen from splitting the atoms, however the container got very uncomfortably hot even with the output i got from it, and my car doesnt have enough room for a bigger container to keep the saline water cool enough. i wa thinking mini chernobyl under my hood wasnt a good thing.
i shelved the idea but it was fun. i think you will see conversions of some of the old muscle cars to alternate powerplants. electrics, hydrogen, etc. i wont do mine though.
