well you could go to town and get a tank of hydrogen and fill up your tank and go?
seriously we drove a electric car on the moon and your telling me we can't figure out how to drive in remote places?
- foepys 5y agoHydrogen transport is actually quite complicated. There are many villages where you buy gas in cola bottles, so I wouldn't bet on hydrogen to be available, even in 20 years. Gas powered generators will be more likely. > seriously we drove a electric car on the moon How else would you drive on the moon? ICE needs oxygen for combustion.
- emkoemko 5y agotake your hydrogen tank with you.... plus you can generate hydrogen anywhere using solar power. using a ICE engineered for low gravity? with your own supply of oxygen?
- foepys 5y agoI think you underestimate the amount of pressure hydrogen tanks are under. You need pretty large solar panels to power the compressor alone. So large that you can better charge a battery over a day or two. Why engineer a new kind of ICE when electric engines and batteries are already ready to go as they are both needed for the flight to the moon? Also, you don't want explosions in space. Especially not when supplied with oxygen tanks.
