^She`s Canadian, if I had to guess I`d say from somewhere in the Ottawa valley. I get chirped all the time because I say it like that.

This technology was about 30 years ago?! Jesus H Fucking Christ. The oil companies have done so well at suppressing all this new tech from surfacing. What a disgustingly greedy world we live in.

The original developer of this tech was found dead of natural causes in his home in West Jefferson Ohio. I will research this further and post the thread. Basically anyone who has been involved with tech that has lead to substance and value has either been bought off by the Petrol industry or they have died of natural causes. Would Overdosing on Oil consist of natural causes? I mean like if someone forced me to drink it till I died.??

well its all about business,money and keeping the money flowing.. and the oil company`s are about big business and big deals-(money), so if there is any chance where they have competition with some outsider who has a hydrogen car that works just as well as any car and is better for the environment they will quickly suppress it by all means, whether its eliminating the target, the product or both. This type of corruption has been going on for some time in other situations, If you do a quick check on Nikola Tesla you can see what I`m talking about.. He wanted free clean energy for everyone so what did they do.. they Burned down his Laboratory, eliminated his funds and all was lost..

this product would have never worked. Storing hydrogen "safely"(keyword) into the tank and compressing it would cost more than the same proportion of gas/oil used in the cars.
What`s even more interesting is that hydrogen is not as efficient as any of these other sources as well. Electricity seems to be the one that was overlooked at the time and now is one of the furthest advances in the car industry...

Sorry to be the debby-downer here, but this is a repost and most explanations could be found on the other post. Feel free to add to this one, though, because who knows- new info may have came out right?

^ there is no safe storage of hydrogen when used as a fuel. At the rate that accidents occur and the super-combustive nature of hydrogen, it would be stupid to believe this is a feasible idea.

its just a shame that jack didnt get into an accident and set an explosive example for the rest of the H-car drivers.

P.S. you waste more energy obtaining the pure hydrogen needed for fuel than is gained when you combust the hydrogen

you see, and they`r talking about hydrogen nowdays like its new advanced tech but yet here it is in the fucking 70`s!!!

The only way we`ll ever change it is if we take this technology ourselves, we`ll never get it as they`r ALL in on it!

"P.S. you waste more energy obtaining the pure hydrogen needed for fuel than is gained when you combust the hydrogen"

you use more energy from solar power? try listening and thinking before you start spouting off you spoon fed opinions!

Everyone who said the accent is Canadian you`re ignorant. Accents like those exist IN America.
Try Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ever heard of the movie Fargo? "Kerrs" every 2 seconds! And you hate some of the canadian accents? Do you have any idea how retarded Southern US accents sound? Think bout it yall!
