Hydrogen car in 2010! And its a rotary!

Did you even bother to read your source?

It claims that what they're using as a humidity index decreased from the middle to the end of the twentieth century through most of north america.

Did you read the last part and looked at the graphs?

I saved them and tried to attach but the images are to big. If I shrink them down enough to get uner 500k they get to small and we cant read anything.

Far east canada is one of the places that increased the most.

Anyhow, I was just asking if you think that Rush hour has an impact on the humidity index. And if so will hydrogen cars be a two sided blade.

I don't like humidity. I'm not used to humidity.

Humidity is pretty wonderful provided people wear deodorant.

humidity makes leather couches uncomfortable.

It's a very limited resource...basically zero. It's not an energy source, like petroleum, that comes with energy already bound into it.

Rather, hydrogen is a way of transferring energy. That is, you put energy into it in order to create it, then at the user end, the energy you put into it earlier is used.

Ok, let me ask you this. What do you use to create Hydrogen?

Electricity is not a limited resource, water makes it. You can make as much as your capacity allows. Just like Hydrogen.

Hence, not limited.

250 miles under what conditions? if that is highway use then the car might still be unsuitable for city use, where usage of energy is much higher due to irregular acceleration / braking stuff. Cities is where we need this kind of car though, so longevity accounts for a lot.

I would say, we're limited by our capacity to make electricity.

Here in Calif., we've dammed about every river we can and have to import electricity from Oregon and Washington. When droughts up there were decreasing the amount of electricity their dams could produce, the whole West Coast was in serious trouble.

If we're going to try and replace petroleum by using electronically created hydrogen, I think we're going to have severe supply problems.

The problem with hydrogen is also storage, it escapes rapidly from literally ALL ways of storing it, from all containers and the like.

That's why transporting Methane (CH4) makes much more sense, carries more H than pure hydrogene as well, it's just heavier to carry (as a pay-off) and needs an inbuilt engine to extract the hydrogene which however still pays off if the fuel cell that processes that hydrogene is efficient enough.

This knowledge I'm bringing to you is however state of the art of the late 80s

I transport methane in my intestinal tract all the time. However, it does have a tendency to escape...usually at inopportune times.

Plug a fuel cell engine to your arse!

Not if we sell it to you.

SO THE TABLES HAVE TURNED!!

I guess they made it safe as in, it will not blow up?

It likely uses a hydrogen fuel cell which stores gasoline in the gas tank but then splits off hydrogen from the gasoline as needed.

Dude, do you understand how quick the water cycle is? It doesn't take as long to regain balance as carbon dioxide does. If you put out more water vapour it will quickly be returned through precipitation and decreased evaporation.
