Re: [MBZ] This is interesting

We have CNG vehicles because natural gas is too hard to liquify, but this thing will run on liquid hydrogen? Will it be continuously boiling off in a giant Dewar flask? Mitch. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

H is not "explosive" It does, however, burn rapidly. Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes December 2, 2016 at 2:52 PM This is the non--explosive isotope of H2, distilled in Norway from ultra pure fjord waters. On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 3:43 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] This is interesting

These guys are apparently gonna put up sun catchers and make the basic matter of the universe from water or something. I'm not sure of the whackonomics of that, and hauling H->2 around the country to truck stops, and putting in big Dewars everywhere the trucks might want to go. I wonder if

Re: [MBZ] This is interesting

It is amply available all over the Earph. It only takes a little electrojuicity to produce H. Up to this point, anyone who has done that small scale has had a visit from MIB in scheawz burbans who tell them stop or else. Jim was not intimidated. Unfortunately the MIB paid off. I have

Re: [MBZ] This is interesting

Yabbut where does all the hydrogen come from cheaply and dependably and in enough quantity to make it work? Frack on federal land, break the H2 molecules off the natural gas? Imported from China? George Soros has cut a side deal with Trump for importing H2 from Russia, as long as H-> stays out

You could ask Dave M what was available for SLS. Dan Penoff via Mercedes October 3, 2016 at 8:30 PM I noticed the SLS reservoir. I thought that was interesting. I wonder if it’s all four wheels or just the back? Dan ___

Looks like it has ASD, or SLS (or both). I wonder if it was "federalized" when imported? -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On October 3, 2016 5:45:46 PM EDT, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote:
