when eric dupont will explain the cost of his liquid nitrogen machine we can compare with the fuel cell

the fuel cell exists ... we can see the price of what is available ... I find the fuel cell too expensive for me, but it is usable for some since it exists

if eric dupont invented a cost-effective cold engine it would also be profitable to use hydrogen in liquid form ... by making energy with both its cold and its fuel quality

alas, I am afraid that the energetic valorization of the cold is too heavy and too expensive to be put in a vehicle!

if the energetic valorization of the cold of a liquefied gas must have a first use it will be for the gasification of the methane in the ports or one receives methane liquid by the methanier ... so much that it does not do in this case or it is the least difficult it will not be done in a vehicle!

there is another energy which is forgotten in hydrogen: in the case where it is stored compressed at 200 or 300 bar: the energy of compressed gas! instead of stretching stupidly in a regulator, if you relax in a compressed gas engine you gain a not negligible power, of the order of 10% of the power supplied by hydrogen as fuel ... and a gas engine tablet is quite simple

a compressed air only engine has difficulty finding the necessary heat in the ambient air to not cool too much and lose its efficiency ... a compressed gas engine that powers a heat engine or a fuel cell does not have this problem because it takes advantage of the lost heat of this engine

such a use of the energy of the compressed gas compensates for part of the gas compression expense

the cost of a liquid nitrogen engine with nitrogen reheating with hydrogen is as follows. a two-stage 300 bar motor and 20 bar are required to release the compressed nitrogen which has been heated to 500 ° C. An exchanger for heating the nitrogen to 500 ° C with the fuel. An exchanger for heating liquid nitrogen with compressed nitrogen coming out of the engine. a small compressor has 300 bar to compress the cold nitrogen coming out of the exchanger.

Compared to an engine where it is the water that heats the nitrogen, with the fuel, the engine is simpler because there is no water to recover and reheat, the exchanger to reheat the nitrogen Both the liquid and the compressor for compressing the cold nitrogen are smaller because the liquid nitrogen consumption is lower.

it is not necessary for the hydrogen to recover the energy of the expansion of the hydrogen, in a way it is not possible to recover the cold of the relaxation to cool the nitrogen which leaves the engine and which will pass in the exchanger before the compression.

For liquid hydrogen in a vehicle, it's better not to think about it


the problem is not the cost of the nitrogen engine, which is probably less expensive than the fuel cell, and more expensive than a heat engine, but it is the cost of hydrogen at the pump that plummets the budjet. at the limit we can replace the hydrogen with Ch4.

South of Paris, the Engie group has just inaugurated a hydrogen station at the heart of the Rungis International Market:

absolutely,

and even CH3OH which has the advantage of being liquid ... hydrocarbons with 1 or 2 carbon atoms are much easier to use.

the car has hydrogen is dependent on platinum which is more expensive than gold at best it takes 3 times more than in a catalytic converter, but there are not yet and if so, the price of platinum will be worth 3 times more expensive.

the H2 car is a humbug. Hypertechnology, an energy chasm, a captive clientele, very inadequate supply infrastructures.

What is needed is a dominantly electric hybrid at an affordable price. Basically a good specification would be:
* car 4 5 places, 1000 kg, not too much frontal area
* 15-20 kWh of battery to make 100 km in electric
* generator 3 40 cylinders kW (50 ch)
* power 75 kW (100 ch) electric, with possibility of boost to 150 kW when the generator supports the batteries
* simple car: not too many gadgets and electronics

In addition the engine should be more gasoline, and accept 85 ethanol.

And at the same time; we must strengthen the electricity mix in renewable energy, and also the mix of fuels in renewable liquids: methanol, ethanol, biodiesel ...

Video of an 1993 motorcycle that only works at the H2 with a car battery.
It is said that one can travel 500km with 1 liter of water.
It takes 6 Kw to break down 1 liter of water. That sounds real, a battery of 50 Ah could break down 0,1 liter of water by putting an hour ...



On the other hand the bike does not seem to go fast ..

Since in the final analysis it is a question of using electrical energy, it would be more logical to connect the battery or batteries to an electric motor. This video suggests that the energy of the hydrogen contained in the water would be greater than the starting energy, but it is only an imperfect conversion.

And you think that the lithium battery of the VE do not have one of fogging? Future shortage, rising lithium prices, problematic recycling, crappy cycling ... In short, all the opposite of hydrogen precisely.

The H2 is an energy vector: it is an inexhaustible source, it is easy to produce (an electrolysers is not a complex system for industrial), can be produced from any source of energy . The current storage systems have improved (carbon fiber, high pressure, light weight, safety) and allow virtually unlimited cycling. I join you on the fuel cell, but a lot of research is under way to replace the platinum with other materials (just like the batteries where we want to replace the lithium).

Tomorrow's vehicle should be:

The lightest possible: and that passes by the technologies of peaks: carbon / alu, 3D computer assistance, mutualisation of certain equipments
As "simple as possible": a single screen / panel that displays all the information, automation of certain tasks ...
The most economic: hybridization for a very near future, with lithium titanate battery, atikson gasoline engine / E85, car box, water injection system (why not? Pantone), brake regeneration + magnetic suspension. Aero Dynamics
The most durable: Japanese reliability, quality materials, long life.
Recyclable: exit the plastic - use of more noble materials, wood, hemp for the bumper, the rigor of recycled plastic for some parts
