​@@JohnDoe-mx1sqso I guess you didn't listen to this video, especially at the end

@@MichaelHeal99 😂 yeah no explosions when a team of engineers are working on a one of unit. Let me know when your drunk neighbor is working on their hydrogen fueled Mustang

Its not about it can't be done. Its just not reliable and efficient.

@@paulvanderveen1986 Exactly!!! As awseom as I think this video is, hydrogen engines have been possible for decades just not efficient.

And the. All those people drive by as you realise there’s no filling infrastructure and the cost to fill a tank is 15x more

And still burning oil.. Unless you're running pistons on 0 friction. Also, I would hate to have a hydrogen tank explode.

Its been done since the 1930s. There was a town in AZ where all the vehicles were hydrogen. Sun City. More recently Honda has been testing hydrogen cars for decades.

Absolutely!

As a GM technician and ASE certified master technician that was also my favorite part in this video and thats saying something. The ingenuity and calculations it must have taken to build this is insane. We have a saying as techs that "technicians are the people who fix the problems engineers create". So seeing what this man has accomplished is kind of like witnessing a "piece de resistance" in our lifetime right in front of us. This is a original and amazing truck/fuel system but sadly not groundbreaking. I hope he remembers the fiero that ran on water and the outcome of that technician/engineer, the car, and all the papers that showed how to vaporize the water to separate the oxygen from the hydrogen fuel source. When he couldn't be bought out by the big petroleum corporations he simply vanished along with every bit of his research and development on the fiero. Be careful with this technology! There are a lot of people that stand to lose very large fortunes and have shown that they can get away with silencing creative ideas that threaten their way of life already.

@@MikeSmith-mp7lf Well said. I was a GM tech and ASE master as well. I am retired now.

For sure, there is no replacement for real world hands-on experience. Theory is nothing more than brainstorming.

Kinda hard to knock this design coming from someone with his pedigree. He is taking a risk with his life but he's very respected in the industry. This video is totally a win for us hydrogen fans.

Don't forget to fact check.

He ignored key missing facts in the video. The update that it traveled 300 miles on a tank is utter bs.

Not only will they not go away, but the electric cars are short sighted. They will always be a major producer of pollution. Hydrogen on the other hand is actually clean. AND we get to keep our muscle! Great comment!

Hopefully he doesn't die from "food poisoning" like Myers did...

My thoughts exactly

I hope he has a buddy with all of the data and know how, just in case. I want this in a 55 Chevy pickup so bad. After I enjoyed it a bit, I’d sell it and build another one. If enough of us retired guys built one a year, we’d have classic hydrogen pickups out there for regular folks can see and get on board with. Electric is such a waste of everything. Gas hydrogen appears to be the fuel of the future. Looks like all he added was the tank and regulator. Can’t wait to see where this goes

@@dl7775 Electric vehicles have no soul or heartbeat. Not for me

Yeah a lot of car and oil companies would love to take this technology out

Please explain why hydrogen is such a beautiful fuel ... Ever thought that you have to make it first and then have to store it without leakage (which is not easy as hydrogen is a very thin gas) .....

@@JongJande Sure it works great for a dozen vehicles. But it's impossible to scale up to thousands. The financial cost and physical resources to distribute that much H2 Fuel is just impossible. Awesome experiment, impossible as a product. This system is only 350 Bar, 700 Bar which is the required amount of fuel density to be viable. Is even more resources intensive and expensive. Soo yeah that is the technical reasoning for your argument.

@@Neojhun Good all the over paid oil companies can invest into it and make it all efficient. That excuse is shit!

@@hornpub6937 That's funny !!!! Do some research !!!!! It IS the oil companies that are investing into it - especially since the most viable source for hydrogen is methane. Shell did huge investments in hydrogen in Europe, and have since pulled out, since, as Neojhun said, the cost and resources to distribute and store that much hydrogen is economically unfeasible, not to mention the energy input required to "produce" the hydrogen in the first place makes it a "not so clean" fuel. As well, like biodeisel, hydrogen engines don't function well at all anywhere that gets close to or below freezing temps. Look at Germany. They invested billions of dollars into hydrogen tech, and have shut it all down due to the many problems with it.

What about platinum?

they are 100yrs way beyond that now. Lockheed has zero gravity and free energy now.

I ate chicken from a circle K.

I’ve had a personal belief that hydrogen is the future for the past 20 years and still fervently believe it is, but always thought you would have to dilute it to make it work with existing technology - or “dirty it”, as I say. However, after seeing so much experimentation and testing on the subject with small engines, I started to realize we didn’t need to beef up engines to make it work. Pure hydrogen can run on any engine, provided enough supply and metered correctly for the application. This video makes me firmly believe we are on the way. It is going to happen someday. I just hope I am around to see it become the norm.

Compressed gas. Remember the end of the movie 'jaws'

What they are not addressing is the clean source of hydrogen. It is very expensive to seperate the bond hydrogen has with many elements.If you are getting hydrogen from oil or other hydrocarbons it is defeating the purpose. You could make clean hydrogen from nuclear power or solar or even the wind, but it too is expensive.

@@jeeper2371I would in theory combine solar panels on the hood roof and doors or/and the alternator to a water tank that refills the hydrogen tank as you drive!

I cannot believe how easy it is to manipulate Americans, and how poorly informed the American people are. This engine is a nice hobby project, kudo's for the craftsmanship and all that, but that is as far as it will go for all the obvious reasons. Internal combustion engines are going to be illegal by law to sell after 2035 in Europe and the rest of the continents, regardless what fuel it burns. Those laws have already been passed. And nobody is going to reverse that. The reason is simple. An internal combustion engine wastes at least 70% of its fuel to heat regardless what fuel it burns. And that is simply too much waste. It takes a lot of energy and money to produce that hydrogen. And producing all that hydrogen is only cost effective if it is used more efficiently. And for car manufacturers it is not cost effective to keep developing two different technologies at the same time. And since ICE technology is going to be banned completely in Europe and the other continents it makes no sense to keep developing new ICE technology. So that is the reason why ALL the major car manufacturers in the world, including the Americans, have already announced that they completely stopped investing in new ICE technology and they are only investing in new electric cars and trucks. And you can check this for yourself really easy.

​@@insAneTunAthe world isn't going to quit using fuel by 2035 not a chance. The world's infrastructure is all geared for fuels not electric. Look at the US, The power grid can't even keep up as it is. I don't see any improvement in it yet 2035 will be here soon.

@@horsefly1020 You choose not to be willing to see the change, it is simple as that. But your choice has nothing to do with reality. There is plenty enough verifiable and credible information out there about this subject, but strangely enough people like you seem to think that if you just refuse to inform yourself that nothing is going to change. But the change is already happening all around you buddy, regardless if you are aware of it, or if you are willing to accept it. Look, it is not my personal opinion, and it is most certainly not a contest, I am just notifying you about the facts. What I say are the verifiable facts from the car manufacturers themselves, the laws that have already been passed, investments that have already been made in electric car technology and infrastructure, and so forth. Those are very long term investments with very long term planning, and investment groups have already put far too much money into it, and we are talking about billions if not trillions of collars. And a couple of American displacement replacement deniers on social media are not going to flip all those investors and let them take their losses for their investments to which they are already committed. Here in Europe we are way ahead of the US when it comes to infrastructure and renewable energy sources. But if what you are saying is true then it should be easy for you to show me a single announcement or publication from a credible source about a major car manufacturer who is going to produce cars for the mass of the people powered with ICE technology and with the objective to sell it after 2035. I dare you !!! And I am not interested in your emotions or any other sort of misplaced bluff, because that is not going to change reality either. I am expecting an adult reaction and that you show me the facts from a credible source.

@@insAneTunA I guess you missed the part where GM recently announced spending millions of dollars in new manufacturing facilities for an all new Gen 6 small block v8 😂

@@Stapleton42 Here we go again. You are only reading half of their announcement. 🤣😂Allow me to school You. Despite its goal of an all battery electric vehicle portfolio by 2035, General Motors Co. announced Friday almost a billion dollars in new manufacturing investments-most of which is related to production of new internal combustion engines. (it is a manufacturing investment in their latest existing engines, not a new development investment for a new model engine, those are two completely different things) For GM, the additional investments to bolster internal combustion engines are aimed at supporting its new line of pickup trucks and SUVs. Those are the automaker's main profitmakers, providing cash and capital the company can use to develop the company's future battery-electric cars and trucks. So let me explain this. This is not a long term investment in new ICE development, but it is an investment in the production of existing old technology. Those are their latest engines with no new developments. Do you understand that? And the profit that they are going to make with those last ICE cars and trucks is going to be used to develop and produce and sell electric cars and trucks after 2035. Like I said, they still have some existing projects running, and that will slowly fase out. After all they still have 12 years to go. And as soon as the kalender says that it is 2035 even GM will only sell electric cars and trucks. The engines that they are going to produce will be their last internal combustion engine. And the pickup trucks and SUV's are mainly sold in the US. It is not even meant for export. You should not be doing this, I mean you should not try to fool or mislead other people or yourself by telling only half the story or by ignoring the full truth and most important facts of the story. Because stories like this can be verified in mere milliseconds. And now it looks as if you are making a fool out of yourself. And you can only blame yourself for that. Because it is most certainly not my intention. I just want to make sure that people are aware of the facts. I like your history videos, stick with that. Talking about the future is not your strength.

@@insAneTunA until there are cleaner solutions for electricity, it's a big step sideways. If this push for electric was about the environment, they would ask people to keep their current car as long as possible, or provide government programs to assist people in fixing a current car, instead of pushing the idea of buying something else entirely out of most people's budget. Would cut down on manufacturing emissions, toxic batteries being built, VOC from everything in the manufacturing process. It makes you 100% dependent on having a clean, ethical source of materials to build them. And clean electricity. They won't proceed with any nuclear power, because if clean, cheap electricity was available, they loose money. Next steps they will stop making parts force people to "upgrade". And people fixing cars will be hunted down and jailed. Auto racing will be outlawed while they fly away in private jets, producing more emissions than all the cars in the United States put together.

@@insAneTunA In the US, the courts just reversed the planned elimination of ICE in 2035. The latest infrastructure bill includes $7 billion to build 8 to 10 hydrogen manufacturing centers across the country. The goal being to reduce the cost of making hydrogen by 80%.

@@shophemi Here we go again. Not a single internal combustion engine is going to be sold in Europe and the rest of the world outside the US after 2035. Hydrogen production facilities are being build across the globe in order to use that hydrogen for industrial purposes, and to reduce the emissions from road transportation. And for cars with fuel cell technology hydrogen is a viable option as well, but then we are still talking about an electric motor as a drive train for the car or truck. What you say is false and nonsense. No new car with ICE technology is going to be sold on European soil and the other continents after 2035. But I will give you a chance. Show me a single announcement or publication from a credible source about a major car manufacturer who said that they are going to develop and produce new cars with ICE technology with the purpose to sell it after 2035. It's just not happening. The opposite is true. All the manufacturers have already announced that they have already stopped with developing new ICE technology and new cars with ICE technology.

IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING. look up plug power. I think they recently even tested an airplane with hydrogen, and they currently have thousands of fork lifts that run on hydrogen. They even made a hydrogen powered van years ago. cannot lie the truck in the video sounds really good!!

We use those similar tanks in every aircraft to hold oxygen… They are very safe.

Little different than propane power as far as fueling and fuel storage. I believe hydrogen takes more pressure.

A burning gas tank has nothing on a hydrogen tank explosion. There are hydrogen fuel cell vehicles all over the road just waiting to have a tank rupture. When discussing my concerns with a tank rupture, engineering assured me that all the fail safes would easily prevent any problems. Oops! Is all I can say about that (liability and lawyers).

@@Nopaants There's a tremendous amount of pressure energy in these hydrogen tanks and if they ever burst, it'll make a gas tank fire look like a toy. That said, these are very well-engineered tanks. Honestly, I think an EV fire is a worse event because it releases metallic particulate. As far as I'm concerned, even though Hydrogen to combustion isn't an efficient process, it has a portfolio of safety benefits that makes it a good option. I personally like DME or Methanol as the replacement for gasoline some day, but this hydrogen tech is decent.

@@greybone777 Hydrogen requires a tremendous amount of pressure. More than the cylinder in an engine. Personally, I like Methanol and Dimethyl Ether as the replacements for Gasoline. That said, this is a good performing system, so I'm not going to nit-pick it excessively.

@@michiel5160true. They are pushing for more electric, but think if this was a viable option! Hydrogen propulsion emissions are VAPOR. Vapor makes clouds and return water back to the surface. Plus, if you can STILL turn 500hp and have it sound gnarly, even the old "gear heads" like me can get on board.

If we are playing by the rules of environmental impact, hydrogen in a recipe engine is cleaner than electric when you factor in mining and component production. With solar panels, a compressor and and a "water cracker" means these aren't going to be profitable to dutch royal shell. Don't expect this to catch on even if by the facts it makes more sense.

@@realblakrawb it’s about control

History being rehashed is more accurate. The H2H was an experiment in exactly this 20 years ago...and it failed for the reasons I've posted elsewhere - energy in to energy out just won't cut it. It takes 50kWh of electricity to generate 8.4kWh at the wheels (not quite 14hp for an hour or 55hp for 15 minutes). If we could produce hydrogen closer to the 33kWh of energy it can hold per kg *and* have some sort of combustion engine which is more than double what the theoretical "perfect" piston engine could ever be and it would start getting close to EV efficiency. It's just not a viable option for most use cases. Old hotrods and maybe some racing? Potentially...but for short sprints like drag racing I forsee electric motors and lightweight capacitor banks.

​@@94XJthey did say that this was for motorsports

Your comment makes no sense. EV will never be as fast as ICE.

Burning hydrogen actually cleans the atmosphere of other pollutants and obnoxious gases. As long as your engine isn't burning oil using hydrogen actually decreases pollution as its running.

You can't smell those buses because they are EVs! The big difference between that bus (and many like it across the country, particularly here in CA) and Mike's truck is like night & day though; hydrogen-powered public transportation buses are actually electric motor powered (think Tesla EVs) buses that use hydrogen fuel fed into a very expensive fuel cell stack (usually P.E.M. or Proton Exchange Membrane) converts it into electricity to power the electric motor(s). By contrast, Mike is directly fueling a “standard" (though high performance built) internal combustion engine in place of gasoline. Mike's method is not only much simpler but can also be employed much more affordably if that is the goal. Clearly, in Mike's case, performance was the goal and low emissions are a happy byproduct of his fuel choice. It's a win-win but VERY different from the buses that are essentially extremely expensive EVs that have highly complex systems (regenerative brakes), expensive components (electric motors & batteries), require a LOT of maintenance, and the fuel cells use costly rare metals (ie. Platinum) that also wear out and the stack has to be rebuilt fairly often, and of course you have to mine the earth for a LOT of the things that go on to making the components. They are an excellent way to waste taxpayer money while acting/feeling like they're “helping the planet". Meanwhile, Mike's super sweet hotrod actually DOES benefit the planet by not only being able to use a clean fuel source but also by actively cleaning the air that it pulls into the motor and outputting even cleaner air out the tailpipe! 👍🏻

It is not only the size of the tanks it is also the problem with sealing the tanks. Hydrogen will essentially "seep" out of a steel or aluminum tank because the hydrogen atoms can actually migrate through the metal and it will change the properties of the metal as it does so. The tanks need to be made of spun carbon fiber and then need a specialized liner inside the tanks. Cell companies found this out when they tried to replace generators at cell sites with fuel cells. Hydrogen tanks are not something a do-it-your-self garage mechanic should mess with.

Everyone has been working on hydrogen-powered vehicles since the 1980s. The two reasons we have battery-powered EVs is harvesting hydrogen is very expensive & it costs more energy to harvest hydrogen than the hydrogen itself produces. Think of it like this: Option A: You can go into a bank and ask them to sell you a $5 note for $10, then you can take your new $5 to a store to buy stuff. Option B: you skip the bank. You go straight to the store with your $10 and buy twice as much stuff while creating twice as much litter. Which option are you going to pick?

@@LawrenceRhodes Every new tech is expensive to R&D, but the costs eventually moderate as the technology comes fully online, new innovations are made, etc.

​​@@LawrenceRhodesIt's because the industry has a massive conflict of interest adopting something so much better. Not because it will fail. You're proclaiming failure of something completely out of context of the development cycle.

@mdemers767 Not in this case. Due to hydrogen inefficiency and high cost, which only a few gearheads want to pay, it will never be accepted by the public. It costs pennies per mile in a Tesla. Do the math yourself. There's a reason you can get an off lease FCV for $15k with a $15k fuel card. Burning it in ICE at 10 mpg. Financial suicide. It seems you haven't done the math. The only way it even half assidly will work is if you have abundant hydrogen at low cost. Not in the cards. I would look to ethanol for fun race days.

It's not an "old school v8" by any stretch of the imagination.... and that future will never exist... because a carbureted v8 (old school) cannot run on hydrogen. Guy basically said as much in the video when he mentioned someone asking him if he could introduce hydrogen into the intake on one... it doesn't work that way.

Unfortunately for this technology the following numbers are set in stone ; 1kg of hydrogen = 1g of gas as for as energy content The ICE hydrogen engine is pretty close to the ICE gas engine as far as efficiency. So if he went 300 miles on his 3kg tank it wasn’t in this universe.
