Nor, worryingly, does the claim that it can be used in existing engines.
- Someone 16y agoWell, gasoline is gasoline… Oops, they aren't claiming it is gasoline, either. This is a nice example of how popular journalism works, though. 'it is sort-of liquid and it burns fairly cleanly' is sufficient to gets a press that forgets to discuss: - where to get the energy from to make the stuff. - what we will do with whatever is left over after burning the hydrogen in these hydrides (If I google 'hydride' I get the strong impression they aren't made from pure hydrogen atoms.) - whether that other stuff is rare or abundant, cheap or expensive.
- Swannie 16y agoInfact the vague implication is that it can be used where existing vehicles are running on compressed hydrogen.
