The only practical hydrogen production method (under development) is the use of a cell containing borax and water.
The hydrogen is extracted from the borax and water itself when a third mystery compound is added – probably expensive.
Unfortunately, no practical method yet exists. It would be nice to extract brown’s gas from water, but it’s that pesky free energy conundrum. It does not exist

His accusation of EVs and D&D look more correct with every post I read by you guys. Jesse James did something that better than BMW and he did it in the truest spirit of the Hot Rod community.

To the guy that says the Tesla out accelerates the Lotus. Ok great. The Lotus out handles and can go farther, faster than the Tesla. Not to mention for less than the price of the Tesla I can pick up the Lotus Exige 260 and decimate the Tesla. The Lots is nicer in every way. From the power plant, to the sound, to the fury, to the interior, the exterior, to the mechanics of driving the car. The Lotus is better in all those ways.

But I do love all the haters who are sitting at their computers with the D20 attack dice telling Jesse James he is an idiot. Like Jesse James give a crap what you think about him. You sit at home bitching about him. He goes out and sets World Records. You do nothing but bitch. He goes out and builds things, beautiful things, with his hands and then drives them to the limit beating even the mighty BMW.

Yup. You EV guys sure are cool.

jesse james is an idiot. He has drank the cool-aid from the car and oil companies. hydrogen is/was pushed by them as a stall tactic. “see what we’re going to do for the future”, and then do nothing. electric cars are reliable, and extremely inexpensive to drive. the technology is here now and works great. I drive one every day and spend 4 bucks a week for ‘fuel’ to drive about 200 miles.

to jesse james…i have a stand alone combination mechanical and electrical engine design that could operate anywhere in the world hot or cold climates . if interested do not publish this info. just email securely.

It’s clear that this egomaniac is smoking something. Never heard it called Tesla before though…

Well, Hydrogen in a combustion engine is still less efficient than through a fuel cell. Electric is the best and lithium is far cheaper than any exotic fuel cell. Just pump in the electricity and go. Mine goes 80+ mph and I am quite happy with that. Just plug it in to charge while I sleep and enjoy an evening at home. Lithium will be the next move. I also don’t need a car than can do 200+ mph to go get my groceries or to work.

Enjoy the green revolution.

I say let him dream,its the dreamers and thinkers that have made great leaps ahead in technology. He has resources available to him that most of us do not. I say encourage him.

Any battery powerful enough to convert water to hydrogen would be more than powerful enough to just power the car. Why add extra steps, extra weight, extra moving parts and extra technology. Keep it simple (“too easy”). Just power the car with electricity!
