Hydrogen Powered Falcon
Posted: June 9th, 2008, 7:02 pmAnyone see the Hydro powered falcon on the news? for an old shitter to get 5lt per 100 on the open road is pritty fucking good.

Posted: June 9th, 2008, 7:05 pmyeah I saw it, pretty cool they did it to an EB, the only stupid thing is that they tested it against an ED XR6 by the looks of it and the difference in fuel consumption is heaps more in them, they should of tested it with another standard EB/ED

Posted: June 9th, 2008, 7:09 pmyeah im gunna look into it and do it to my EF.
Seeing I have a work car If I **** my motor im right lol

Posted: June 9th, 2008, 7:42 pmI dunno check you tube out in the next few days or the today tonight site.
Re: Hydrogen Powered Falcon
Posted: June 10th, 2008, 10:41 amjust watched the video on today tonight website, that is a big differance in fuel consumption, about $7 compared to $40, is someone tries this it would be good to see how it goes

Is there some plan for a commercially available Hydrogen kit?

Re: Hydrogen Powered Falcon
Posted: June 10th, 2008, 11:38 amIve looked into it heaps since i saw the story about a month ago. It uses a kind of electrolysis to split water into hydorgen and oxygen gas. You can set it up so that when you put your foot on the accelerator the current in the electrodes increases and produces more gas. From what I've read, it wouldnt be that hard to make a car run entirely on hydrogen gas

Posted: June 10th, 2008, 1:09 pmI saw it last night. Mad buggers. It almost sounds like it works like N²O.

Using the method you refer too, the only thing standing in your way would be those pesky laws of physics.

I'd say the interesting part would be how the fark they A) piped the gases and B) fed the gases into the engine at a stoich proportion...
How to Electrolyse Water
A simple way to separate water into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
Steps
First get a 9-volt battery, two pieces of copper wire (or two flat pieces of aluminum foil), and get a small container of water and fill it halfway with water.
Put a lot of salt into the water, this makes it a better conductor, stir it in well.
Put the two wires (or pieces of foil), then put the end of each wire on the nodes of the battery.
Put the other end of the wires in the water, but don't let them touch, if you have done this right, you will now see bubbles forming on the ends of the wires, these are bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen.
Tips
The closer you place the wires, the more bubbles should appear, but be careful not to touch them together.
Warnings
DO NOT STORE HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN IN THE SAME CONTAINER, because when it is mixed its highly explosive.
If you are using copper wires, the high oxygen environment will corrode the copper wire rapidly, and may fuse the wires together, halting the reaction.
Things You'll Need
9-volt battery
Two lengths of copper wire or foil.
Water
Something to hold the water in.

Re: Hydrogen Powered Falcon
Posted: June 10th, 2008, 9:50 pmGah! this really isn't a new Idea at all! But good on them for putting it to work!
But what I don't get is how it increases fuel economy? your feeding the engine more combustible gas, dose the computer compensate for more fuel/gas coming in and decrease the amount of fuel the injectors spray?

lol wtf? Not my car! I don't have a colour coded garnish either.
Re: Hydrogen Powered Falcon
Posted: June 10th, 2008, 10:38 pmIt makes the fuel burn better i beleive which the computer must sense and reduce how much fuel it is pumping
Re: Hydrogen Powered Falcon
Posted: June 10th, 2008, 11:25 pmSo who can calculate how much water you'd need to carry to do 400k's on only hydrogen? They go through 2L of water a week and use 20% less petrol, but I daresay 10L of water a week wouldn't produce enough combustable fuel to power the EB for a whole week, or even a day.
