Wed, 26 October 2005 02:28 thechuckster wrote on Wed, 26 October 2005 10:12 burning hydrogen gas for energy is inefficient - very inefficient. Weight-for-weight, burning your own farts would release more energy (as heat) than hydrogen. The only reason you'd have hydrogen-powered cars is if they have fuel cells - gizmos that produce electricity from a chemical reaction - that drive electric motors. Regardless of whether the application is Fuel Cells or Internal combustion, cars will be transporting their Hydrogen fuel in SUPER-high pressure tanks, in liquid or near-liquid supercondensed gas form. The E.U's fuel cell testing facility has a concrete bunker for testing the tanks: Sure, the gas is volume-inefficient, but once it's crammed tight it starts making more sense. Building crash-safe high pressure tanks is currently one of the limiting factors. As for the Bourke engine (Scotch Yoke??), 40kw/Litre sounds pathetic, but when you see that it's at 4000rpm it's actually pretty good. Crank it to 8,000Rpm Honda style (Yo!) and you're talking 80kw/Litre - which is as good as anything in production - better than 95% of current models actually. I could see it working well as a H8 configuration, as it'd basically be a power-cube ! ! (think 2 WRX Boxer-4's stacked on top of each other) [Report message to a moderator]
