Toyota Mirai – Hydrogen powered car on its way.

There is currently a race to make motorists take the option of owning a battery powered car. Is it all what it seems to protect the environment? Not so sure. Lithium batteries are known to be dangerous when coming into contact with moisture. Hence the reason they were taken off aircraft after some caught fire. Also, the provision of charging points would need to be everywhere to charge up the battery prior to commencing a journey if required. There would also be a need to provide extra power generation to cover usage. The distance range of the vehicle could be restricted. Finally, at the end of the batteries life there would a problem disposing of them as hazardous waste.

Therefore, why would hydrogen powered be of advantage? Firstly, there would be no pollution, what would come out the waste would be water. The range is not restricted, providing enough hydrogen is available in the tank. Currently there are little or no facilities where hydrogen can be obtained. This could easily be overcome in the short term by placing fuel tankers in existing garages or even in supermarket car parks etc. Even mobile fuelling could be set up for on the road fuelling. This should be of little problem locating vehicles with current technology.

At present hydrogen remains expensive to produce. This could be overcome with a process of manufacturing low coast hydrogen using anti gravity by British inventor Maurice Cotterell. See www.mauricecotterell.com Gravity paper.

Toyota appear to be leaders in the field with a new model the “Toyota Mirai” which looks great and could be a game changer in the car industry.
