Hydrogen Vehicle Generates Its Own Fuel
An anonymous reader writes "Our friends at The Arizona Republic have the scoop: 'The truck is hydrogen-powered and creates its own fuel from solar energy and water, a technical feat that rivals the advanced technology being researched by major auto companies and universities. The four-cylinder engine is tuned to run on hydrogen, which is produced by a hand-built electrolysis system mounted in the bed.' You can also help this project."
can i get mine with hoverlift?

"What have I done?!?!?"
"You're charged with subverting US foreign policy, energy policy and corrupting minors. President Cheney is most displeased."

it still uses water. That's as scarce as gas in Arizona.

And at night, they can use a lamp connected to the battery to power the solar panels on top of the car.
:>
Sure it would look strange, a car with a lamp mounted on the roof to shine down towards the roof surface, but think of the possibilities, we may never have to stop for gas ever again!
You can't handle the truth.
Just have a group of other cars follow it around with mirrors pointing more light on the solar panels.
Problem solved.
You are checking your backups, aren't you?
Bicycles are NOT cleaner. WARNING: SATIRE ALERT! SATIRE ALERT!
The power from bicycles comes from humans eating food and producing poop. The food production takes an unbelievably large amount of energy intensive fossil fuel burning machinery to produce, and quite a bit of value-add from packaging, marketing, etc. (grin).
Likewise, the 'CLEAN ENERGY' aspect of this ignores POOP. Humans that bicycle would use more energy and create more Poop. This would in turn create proportionately more feces, which would have to be processed in an energy intensive sewage treatment plant.
Manufacturing the bicycles, paving for the roads suitably, etc. is very inefficient and Anti-Green (shall we say RED?). The most GREEN thing we can do is stop emitting greenhouse gasses ("farts"), poop ("feces"), and consuming valuable resources by eating things. I recommend all humans should hold their breath until they die and save the planet.
SATIRE ALERT! The above is Satire. Any correspondence between this and a valid opinion would be in the direct opposite direction, ideologically speaking.

Decomposition releases all sorts of gases, possibly methane and carbon dioxide, although I'm not a biologist.
Obviously then, dying isn't green. And since you suggested it, I can tell that you're an evil RED spy masquerading as a GREEN supporter.:-)

Big whoop.
Obviously now we have to produce a car that uses cows for its fuel. There are various methods of doing that, the cows can be pulling the car for example.
Other methods include chopping the cows into small pieces, drying out those pieces, then placing them all over the car. Surely someone will move the car, noone wants to see that.
Some of those crazy farmer folks would say - why not use a bus? I don't know, I never thought of planting grass on busses roofs before, but now to think about it. We will need a method of putting the cow on the roof of the bus. Once it's there plugging a tube up the cows ass is just a small technical problem.
You can't handle the truth.
Or we could capture and burn the farts and poop. Perhaps the turbo button could be shaped like a toilet flush lever.
Yes Ma'am, this car uses solar power to produce hydrogen. But it will also run on fossil fuels and feces. Notice the plush padding around the fecal collection bin in the drivers seat and the lighted mirror on the sun shade? Yes Ma'am, we do have one in brown.

I wonder if cars that produce things like water for waste or oxygen will result in a reduced number of successful suicide attempts.
What is sad is that people will probably still try with those cars that do not produce anything you could asphyxiate on. I realize if you got into a car that produced something other than oxygen, you could still kill yourself when the amount of oxygen drops below a certain point, but what if...
It's easy to stand out when the general level of competence is so low.
I recommend all humans should hold their breath until they die and save the planet.
I could not agree more! Save the planet! Kill yourself!

That green slime had it coming.
So what if you run out of hydrogen AND water, can you use the left over mountain dew in your cup, or what about converting urine?
I'd piss on a sparkplug if I thought it'd do any good
Anyway, fat and gasoline have about the same energy content...
I can see the next big thing already... fat-powered cars. Hop in, dump in a bucket o' lard, drive for miles.
How's that for alternative energy sources?

What would happen if everyone switched over to hydrogen fuel cells and everyone was emitting water vapor 24/7? Sure less smog, but would it mean more rain? Higher sea levels? maybe thats how water world happened. Everyone switched to hydrogen fuel cells because they were so good for the invornment, but it put more water in the atmosphere which in turn raised the sea level..
i do believe I am trams!
