Toyota just invented a hydrogen powered engine.
Oh yeah, that's what I want in my car: A tank of hydrogen. What could go wrong?
Just enjoy the 8 foot flame shooting out when things do
Cool. Fireman here. Can’t wait!
Honestly not much more than what can currently go wrong with the same circumstances using gasoline
The only problem that hydrogen cars have is that if the tank is ruptured or released, hydrogen is one of the few things that gets hotter when released rather than cooler.
Otherwise, the technology is far superior to current battery technolgy with the added benefit of being able to utilize current infrastructure like gas stations. It's because of that advantage that it was never given a fair chance to compete.
Here's the fun part, Trump said he's going to cut the red tape to allow for propulsion freedom free market style. May the best technology for the application win (hint, it won't be electric).
That's not the only problem with H2 ICE vehicles. IF the technology is 'far superior' to electric then why hasn't it been adopted already? H2 Ice technology is not brand new, it's been around a while. EV's like Tesla's are operate at 85% efficiency, while H2 ICE operates at only 36% efficiency.
Free market style all the way, may the best technology win, and the best technology is Solid State Batteries in EV's. When they finally arrive and EV's get 500-700 miles of range with 85% efficiency nobody is going to care about H2 ICE except for enthusiasts and racings sports.
Hydrogen powered ICE are not new. Toyota may have just invented a good one but it's still incredibly inefficient. They won't be adopted until they find a more efficient way to liquify H2.
