The possibility of fueling your car with air in the future






oh... how about H20?




musta na pala si Engr. Daniel Dingle, yung Pinoy inventor ng water powered car dito sa pinas

musta na kayao yung mga pinoy na nagimbento ng mga tulad nito

The water one isn't quite believable, as he's merely running hydrogen as a booster. The hydrogen torch has been around for quite a while, but acetylene experts frown on it because its too cool to compete with acetylene on all types of jobs.

The air-driven engine is interesting, but high pressure air storage is kinda scary...

Cool invention, now hydrogen fuel has a contender.

As for H2O, they need to find an efficient way to extract Hydrogen from it. Imagine water for a fuel, but whoa!!! air for a fuel? How sweet can it get.

[ghosthunter]

Air is not a fuel... it is a propellant. The problem here is air might be clean but you will still need energy to compress the air. And we are not talking about regular workshop air compressor pressures here.

And as for water, the energy used to split water get hydrogen is the exact same amount you will get back when combining hydrogen & oxygen to get water. So where do you get the excess energy to run a machine (like a car's engine)?

[Blackraven]

Vehicles that run on air that release oxygen or cars that run of water yet release crystal clear water (ala distilled) would be awesome......pero for it to be a reality would take decades and lots of R&D.

What would even be more awesome is the fruition of what I like to describe as "energy multipliers". Energy multipliers are the "dream" as it will have an unlimited amount of possiblities. In the next few centuries, we could probably you use one drop of an oil molecule to power our vehicles for a journey from Manila to Beirut or that a five hour charge from an electric battery can already take us to Jupiter.

Go further and we can have "self-replenishing energy sources" that can power a space ship that can even send us to warpspeed and take us to far away galaxies and solar systems way beyond ours.

In short: Infinite energy is an ultimate goal of human society.

Unfortunately, it would take us centuries before we can even come close to such. Definitely, patay na tayo by that time so sadly, we can never experience the ultimate dream.

We just wish the best nalang to our sucessors as they will get to experience that ultimate dream as it will indeed become a reality in their time.

All that humanity needs to do is send billions of people to outer space before the end of this century. Once we do that, then they can handle the rest

Sorry nga lang for the OT.
