Dale Pulju sent me a note about the Buckeye Bullet setting a record of 300 +
mph with Hydrogen. B Now this brings an interesting question or two. But
first,
I say well done to that effort! B Now the questions: they B had previously set
a
record using batteries. Batteries are electric storage devices. So the record
was listed as an electrical record. Good enough I say. But now another record
is claimed as a hydrogen record. Yet the car's drive system was electrical.
Hydrogen (actually hydrogen and oxygen mix) B was used to produce electricity
which powered the car. B So was the original record using batteries really a
gasoline record because the batteries that supplied the power were charged via
some generator? Or Nuke because the electrons came from that? B With the H2O2
and the fuel cells generating electrons I believe that the record is really an
electrical one. B Think hard about this. Do the rule making authorities need
new definitions of what
B actually powers a vehicle? B Take B a hybrid vehicle. Doesn't the gasoline
motor provide most of the power? If so, why is it called a hybrid? B If I
could
put a gasoline powered generator in a car and use the gen power to run the
electric motor that drives the wheels, would that be electrical or fossil fuel
powered? B It cannot run without gasoline so is it defined as a petroleum
powered car or electrical. Isn't that what a hybrid is? B Me, I think that the
drive mechanism has to be primarily fueled by something directly and that
should be the definition. for instance the car that Jesse James used had a
true hydrogen motor. The fuel was directly powering the vehicle. B The Ford
Fusion and the Buckeye Bullet used electric drive to move the vehicle and I
think that is electrical. Not hydrogen.
Any thoughtful comments out there? I am sitting here waiting for parts....
