BMW HYDROGEN Car Refuelling

Refuelling of the BMW hydrogen car.

This car is an internal combustion hydrogen car. BMW are leasing it out to 100 high profile users. Hydrogen can be obtained from oil, natural gas, and water. It can be obtained from water through electrolysis.

You may have heard on youtube of cars that run on water - there is no such thing as a car that runs purely on water.

You can buy kits that enable you to run your car on a mixture of water and gas by using the cars battery to convert the water into hydrogen. The efficiency of these kits is under much debate because it uses energy to extract the hydrogen from the water.

  1. Hydrogen is an …
    Hydrogen is an effective, clean, and sufficiently powerful fuel source. The only difficulties come in how to cleanly and economically produce and store it. About 70% of the electricity generated in the U.S. comes from burning fossil fuels. Neither fuel cell nor hydrogen powered cars are “green” if the electricity used to extract or charge them isn’t too.

  2. That would be …
    That would be hydrogen 2 and 3, also known as deuterium and tritium (not normal hydrogen), and like the other post said, you need the heat in an A-bomb within an H-bomb for it to work to begin with.

    REMEMBER Lotterwirtschaft HINDENBERG?

    hmmm , lessee , photovoltaic panel

    100 square feet yields 1000 watts = 1.34 horsepower

    assuming ( EXTREMELY unrealistically ) zero energy loss (not like typical 20% efficiency of gasoline auto) , 1/2 hour daily commute , and typical horsepower AMERICAN automobile , shall we say ,
    VERY CONSERVATIVELY , 2500 square feet of photovoltaic panel would be needed to haul an American’s butt to his job at Wal-Mart where he sells Hannah Montana T-Shirts ?

  6. Hydrogen Car…. …
    Hydrogen Car…. great, making it so people have a choice to be so lazy that they can close the gas lid with the press of a button…. not so great.

    very safe, there is no way the conditions for nuclear fusion could occur in a car, (a h bomb usually requires a nuclear fission detonation to kick start it)

  9. As hydrogen is use …
    As hydrogen is use to make bombs,hence the H/bomb,how safe is a car that is run on hydrogen?

  10. yup
    yup

    Don’t be Shocked. Stanley A. Meyer Patented the Water Converter system in 1989 and the US bought it from him. Tesla Invented free power systems back in 1900…
    Selling power and fuel is part of the monetary $lavery $y$tem.

    Good day to all of my fellow Christians, firstly my apology for being out of topic. I came here to remind you people that the judgment day has started already. Please depart from cursing, smoking, violent entertainment, fornication, occultism, and for watching ography etc. lest you be found not worthy to enter the kingdom of God in the Day of Execution. Thank you for your kind consideration.

    The guy is so lazy that he had to press a button to make his thing open from behind.

    Good idea.

  16. Not really they use …
    Not really they use standard combustion engines. The only major difference in price is the fuel tank. For the rest its only minor engine tweaks.

    Here in the U.S.A. some people are so cheap that they will hook up a Shop-Vac hose in a steel cabinet and claim that Hydrogen will come out of the hose.

    russians made an airline jet that flies on hydrogen fuel, but never was used for a commercial use. maybe due to priciness
