Now please tell us the cost of the "whatever and h2o2" involved, the cost of the infrastructure necessary to supply it, and the cost, weight, and specific performance figures for the system ("engine") which converts the energy stored in such materials to mechanical motion. It's very easy to make something look attractive based on few selected figures. Selling the entire system is typically another thing entirely. Bob M.

Energy is NOT measuered in kW ! Graham

Please, such comments are of no use at all. Instead, what Brad needs to understand is that there are some major flaws in his plan to make H2O2 in the vehicle while it is on the road. The flaw that's easiest to point out is this: It takes energy to convert water to H2O2, and this energy would have to be brought along in the car somehow. But if you already have a way of bringing the energy along, it is an unnecessary complication to use it to convert water to H2O2 and then use that H2O2 to fuel the car. It would be easier and more energy-efficient to use that stored energy to fuel the car directly. S. |
