Question

Why hasn't hydrogen been introduced as a fuel source until now?

Answer 1

fear

Answer 2

Probably at the source it will be money, a huge amount of people would stand to lose a huge income.

Answer 3

Several reasons.  For example

1) Where to get the hydrogen.  Currently we get 96% of our hydrogen from fossil fuels.  Not environmentally friendly or sustainable.

2) No transportation and storage infrastructure (no hydrogen fueling stations).

3) Hydrogen fuel cells currently require platinum = extremely expensive.  Honda is currently leasing the FCX Clarity hydrogen vehicle for $600/month.  And that's just a lease!

See the link below for further details.

Answer 4

There wasn't any need, and there still isn't- stop the thieving b******s with their "hedge funds" from stockpiling oil so as to later rip everyone off, and oil prices will come down.

Answer 5

The oil companies would pay BILLIONS of dollars to block this so they could continue to make hundreds of billions.

Answer 6

Not enough generation capacity to make the hydrogen.

Answer 7

hydrogen is a fuel source but they weren't sure if it could be used as a fuel sorce. it's either that or they were just waiting for the other feul sorces to run out.

Answer 8

well we have used petro based fuels for so long as its relative cheapness and remember gasoline was a byproduct of kerosene making. We have only have cars for just over 100 years now.

Answer 9

because it's not a fuel source any more than a battery is a fuel source.

it's just an energy storage medium -- like a battery.

Answer 10

their isn't as much hydrogen in the air as their is nitrogen and their are cars that do run on nitrogen

Answer 11

There has not been an economical efficient way to produce hydrogen, I guess. Have you seen news on TV recently? A small Japanese company demonstrated WES (Water Energy System) technology by connecting it to the battery of a small electric car.

WES seems to separate H2 from H2O temporary and let the electron of H2 to travel separate path than its proton. Electrons extracted are fed to the battery. The mortar connected to the batter runs. Electrons come back to WES and reunites with protons and then O. Finally reconstitutes Water. It is almost a perpetual machine, but it is not. During this process the material used in WES deteriorates. You need to replace this material. The challenge is how to make WES  cost effective and mass producible. Once it is achieved, it can be used as a back up system for the battery. You just keep adding water to the unit. It keep producing electricity until it needs replacement. It sounds good, doesn't it?

Answer 12

It's dangerous and inefficient when compared with conventional technology.  Not to mention expensive.

Answer 13

let me start off by saying Hydrogen is a great option for the concept of free energy.     I built my first hydrogen cell about 5 years ago. Have converted over 50 vehicles in the last 10 years (gydrogen and EV) and now currently run 2 trucks (and another EV), my home hot water heater, home stove and home generator on hydrogen for free with caught rain water and the help of a $10 solar panel.  I offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at www agua-luna com or you can email me.

There are basically 3 safe ways to make and use it... chemically, electrically and molecularly, the first 2 being easier so I'll only discuss them here. The fallowing steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their vehicles or home on hydrogen safely. The entire guide is available at www agua-luna com

    On demand h2 generators are a bit different from the Hollywood versions like seen Chain Reaction with Keanu Reeves, that tend to explode violently every time a film is being made. However when used in an on-demand system there is no storage of hydrogen and oxygen in its gas form, only liquid (water) and is only transformed into gas “on-demand” in small cylinder size amounts. It’s actually safer then gasoline as it doesn’t evaporate, creating explosive fumes in the tank like gas. the following were actually taken out of my $5 guide available at www agua-luna com

    Chemically

    1. You’ll need a 6inch x 1ft schedule 40 pvc pipe. With pvc cement glue a cap on the bottom and use a s***w on cap for the top. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

    2. Now crunch up a couple aluminum cans (beer cans, soda cans etc) and drop them into the pvc pipe, along with a couple cups of lye (Red Devil drain opener has lye in it, some Clorox and Drano’s do to).

    3. Then simply add water, s***w on the top and wait a few minutes.

    What happens in simplicity is that aluminum and lye don’t really get along so they battle, and as always the innocent civilians (water H2O) that the most casualties, by giving up its hydrogen and oxygen. This then builds up in the void of the pipe and is ready to be vented into your engine, by opening the valve. You may need to start your engine on gas then switch it off after the hydrogen starts burning.

    Electrical is a bit easier then Chemically.

    1. Simply take a small solar panel 1.5 amps is what I use ($9 at harborfreight.com), connect the 2 wires from the panel +- to 2 conductors (carbon cores of batteries work well, just be careful removing it from the jacket), but any conductive material will work ie. Copper, aluminum, steel, etc.

    2. Drop the wires into a water tank (I use 55gal drums), make sure they don’t touch each other.

    3. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

    4. Then simply add water, s***w on the top cap and wait.

    After a few hours tiny bubbles will form and rise off one conductor (that’s hydrogen) and even smaller bubbles that just looks like foam will rise off the other (oxygen). I don’t remember which likes the positive and which likes the neg hydrogen or the oxygen.

    The third method is more complicated and is what I use for my vehicles. It’s just a modified Joe’s Cell, there’s a step by step DIY guide available to walk you threw the process here www agua-luna com

It also covers the other 2 methods described in more detail.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.
