You can live for a month without food, a week without water, but only a few minutes without air. Bottomline, the government needs to regulate air quality so industries and consumers will simply have to adapt. In the end, our decisions now should be based on our children’s future, not ours.

I have one simple question, and pardon me if i seem unintelligent for this question, what make the fill up times and mileage any better than a regular car? My mother owns a truck that takes her anywhere around three to five minutes to fill up at empty, of course this is dependent on the particular gas station, so how do plan on making it less time consuming for your impatient client who wants the least time consuming way out? In order to get people to change you have to entice them in someway, simply telling them it will save the environment sadly will not be enough. people are lazy and want whatever is best for them, not everyone or everything around them.

I dream of the day when we will get the hose pipe out and fill our tank with water.

The car will have everything it needs to split the hydrogen and oxygen out.

I really like your idea Arun. I think it could be possible in the near future.

This is great. As I read this column, this gives me to drive my creative ideas, as being a product designer, I can see where this research idea heading towards. Just a quick comment, to add on this emerging technology, through designers point of view, would it be possible to integrate this design in the homogeneous body of the hybrid vehicle it-self. I mean imagining the entire chemical action, hydrogen storage vessel, being taken place at molecular level and inbuilt in the vehicle it self and whenever requires the entire system could be replaceable and reversible. I guess the energy produce through technology can also be used to power homes. Would it be possible to develop it at domestic scale to generate energy?

A small comment or suggestions worthy appreciable. Thank you alternative energy news community.

Hi. I have a question for Professor Mudawar. Instead of refueling… how about replacing tanks? I mean, you come to the station, get your empty tank and get another full, just like people do with propane tanks, and of course… easy to connect and disconnect.

Thanks

What about an easily replaceable fuel cell – do the filling & cooling off line.
