Long Live India and all Indians of Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic and Republic of India.
As an Indian, and south-indian at that, hearing this man pronounce his Indian name completely different from the actual native pronunciation for the sake of westerners' ease and comfort in saying it, it just hurts. Can't imagine the reciprocal thing happening ever.
A methane pyrolysis plant in Nebraska is producing zero-carbon H₂ using 15% of the input energy required by electrolysis.
deuterium can be used fuel cell
You helped me thx
L'énergie qui anime les êtres matériels est l'instinct. Il n'y a pas l'ombre d'une intelligence dans l'univers de matière sauf chez les humains. Tout vit d'instinct.
L'énergie qui anime les êtres métamatériels est l'intelligence. Il n'y a pas l'ombre d'un instinct dans l'univers de métamatière sauf chez les esprits. Tout vit d'intelligence.
Les univers matériel et métamatériel vivent en symbiose. Ils s'échangent leur énergie : L'univers de matière transfère son instinct chez son partenaire métamatériel qui en a fondamentalement besoin.
L'univers de métamatière transfère son intelligence chez son partenaire matériel qui en a aussi fondamentalement besoin.
L'univers de matière récupère l'intelligence métamatérielle via les humains lesquels la diffusent dans l'environnement instinctif. L'intelligence veille au bon fonctionnement d'une biodiversité matérielle totalement instinctive.
La nature de métamatière récupère l'instinct matériel via les esprits qui le diffusent dans l'environnement intelligent. L'instinct veille au bon fonctionnement d'une biodiversité métamatérielle totalement intelligente.
Les univers matériel et métamatériel utilisent deux espèces transmettrices d'énergie pour le fonctionnement de leur symbiose : l'espèce humaine, située coté matériel et l'espèce esprit, située coté métamatériel.
L'univers de matière a un besoin vital de l'intelligence récupérée dans le Métamatériel par les humains. Il est composé de deux choses : d'une structure de matière (de l'infiniment grand à l'infiniment petit) et d'une personnalité : les biodiversités installées sur les planètes habitables. Sans elles il ne serait qu'une structure de matière blafarde. Sans vie. Encore faut-il que ces biodiversités soient saines. Il cherche donc à empêcher leur cancérisation. Sa structure de matière ne se corrompt jamais au contraire des biodiversités qui ont tendance à le faire si elles ne sont pas assistées par l'intelligence. C'est le motif de la symbiose de l'univers de matière avec l'univers de métamatière. Le Métamatériel lui fournit l'intelligence nécessaire au maintient des biodiversités idéales installées sur les planètes habitables par l'intermédiaire d'une symbiose plus petite : la symbiose des humains et les esprits.
Les univers matériel et métamatériel ne peuvent pas se transférer directement leur énergie ; une barrière infranchissable les sépare. La barrière entre la matière et la métamatière. Ils doivent passer par la symbiose des humains et des esprits. Pour mener à bien leur rôle de transmetteur d'énergie, ces deux espèces ont l'énergie des deux mondes : l'instinct et l'intelligence. Les humains sont instinctifs au plus haut degré parce qu'ils vivent dans un environnement exclusivement instinctif. Ils sont aussi intelligents. Les esprits sont intelligents au plus haut degré parce qu'ils vivent dans un environnement exclusivement intelligent. Ils sont aussi instinctifs.
Humains et esprits ont une communauté de sort. Ils sont compatibles. Ils sont programmés pour vivre en symbiose. Elle est la seule et unique liaison entre les univers matériel et métamatériel. Sans elle, pas de transfert d'énergie possible, pas de symbiose des univers, pas d'univers.
Tant que les humains restent en communication avec leur partenaire esprit qui leur transfert l'intelligence saine, tout va bien pour eux et pour la biodiversité matérielle qui profite de leur heureux comportement . S'il coupent unilatéralement la symbiose, leurs comportements intelligents deviennent anarchiques. Ils nuisent plus qu'ils n'harmonisent. Le pire des scénarios pour la nature de matière qui ne peut rein faire. Elle ne peut que subir. Réputée invulnérable face à l'instinct elle devient vulnérable face à l'intelligence.
Le processus se répète coté métamatériel. Grace à leur symbiose, les esprits récupèrent l'instinct en provenance des humains et le diffuser dans la nature de métamatière qui en a fondamentalement besoin. Sans apport d'instinct sain la personnalité intelligente de cet univers a tendance à se corrompre.
More than happy to drive a hydrogen powered car and not one of those awful electric cars
Its all hype
10.000 % YES .
I love this video daddy
Christ, it is cut like a music video, or a bad action scene.
I appreciate that hydrogen vehicles are most eco friendly, as compared to electric vehicles and future of bright hydrogen.
Basically, if there was a way to get hydrogen in its unrefined form, we would have the fuel issue figured out. I understand why video games that take place in space (like Mass Effect) talk about hydrogen based fuel. They are basically pulling hydrogen from gas giants through various solar systems. In fact when you visit the Sol system (our solar system) in the game and stop on jupiter it talks about one of its moons being used as a base and they pull hydrogen directly from Jupiter's atmosphere. This isn't too far off from what would be a solution for us if we could find a way of transporting it on regular intervals from Jupiter to Earth. It seems like science fiction, but it isn't. This is a very real possiblity. If you think about it, it takes about 5 and a half years to get into Jupiter orbit. If we sent regular vessels there and back while having a way of extracting hydrogen, we could have a constant supply.
Hydrogen fuel production is energy intensive. Solar and wind will not cut it. Nuclear is the way to go.
Ukraine war speeds it up.
We don't have it because of greedy people and the greedy oil companies that are doing their hardest to squash it
World the world be better if we would have hydrogen power plants it does 2 things it produces electricity and water especially in southern California, Arizona, new Mexico, and Texas
The major thing I’m concerned is oil companies burning fossil fuels to make hydrogen, essentially “green washing” petroleum
Biggest drawback is the price of refueling a hydrogen vehicle. I recently paid $125 USD to fill up
Why not carbon monoxide? It has the same 325 BTU/CuFt as hydrogen.
we love hydrogen boss
How about an update?
Longer term effect of hydrogen fuel adoption in decarbonisation mission can deliver the required equilibrium for net zero.
Hydrogen generator
Surely part of the answer lies in the more efficient use of the currently wasted renewable energy capacity where the electricity generating source have to be turned off because there is no demand and there is insufficient batteries to store the electricity for the times that the sun is not shining and the wind not blowing.
If that spare capacity was used to generate green hydrogen then it could be used in places where electricity is not available or not practical.
EV cars make total sense, EV trucks, ships, trains, heavy plant and aircraft don't but they do with hydrogen.
Thank you for the video. I have believed in Hydrogen since 1974 and now I am about to purchase a Toyota Mirai to complete the adventure.
Batteries aren't really…. Viable For everything.
A wrong moniker "fossil fuel": this should be renamed "flood fuel" meaning that it is the fuel as the result of the flood of Noah.
I live off grid with solar and batteries and that is the way to get started unless you have wind or hydro resources instead. Batteries are great but once they are full the rest of the power coming in gets wasted. That wasted power is perfect for electrolysis in my view. I am also planning to use some of the wasted power in summer to make hot water happen too. Hydrogen is perfect in combination with batteries to store power for longer durations like seasonally
The problem with hydrogen as a fuel is the relative unavailability of natural hydrogen.
The whole 'hydrogen' issue is nothing more than a cover-up by the Oil giants to perpetuate our dependence on oil.
There's a project here in Britain, run by oil company BP, which is shortly going to announce that 'a new, energy-efficient way of producing hydrogen' is now available.
Yippee! What it doesn't mention is that the hydrogen in question is made from… OIL!
GREAT INDIA GREAT INDIANS
PRAYERS BY RAVINDER TALWAR JALANDHAR CITY PUNJAB INDIA
Put a massive (500%?) tax on fossil fuels, then give every citizen a check for the average cost of living increase, and industry will be incentivized to come up with the best alternatives without hurting the consumer. Right now, oil is still to cheap. All infrastructure wears out. If the incentives are high enough, they will do it.
I appreciate that transition at the start, had to rewatch that
Pretty soon dropping your phone in the toilet will be beneficial 😂
It slways was and always will be.
So Musk is on the wrong track?
Mirai cars lead the way.
Sounds like a lot of surplus energy is needed first, for the conversion. How does this supply look long term?
watching this just tells me that one day we will be worried about having too much water if every single motorized thing is using hydrogen that turns into water where does all that water go? seem like H2O is the CO2 of the future if you ask me.
NEOM? Saudi Arabia?
How come you speak about hydrogen without mentioning NEOM ! it has largest green hydrogen project in the world,
Hydrogen will save no one and nothing. Production cost is only one of its problems.
waste of time and money
Love the definition at the top Climate Change: “refers to long term changes … manmade… fossil fuel..” Long term is not 3 human generations it is 1000s of years. It takes that long to establish trends. 110 years doesn’t even register let alone create a trend. The whole Climate Change agenda is about power for the few at the expense of the many. I’m all for advancing to better alternatives I just don’t care for hijacking innovation and fear mongering, treating people like ignorant animals.
4:55 what you conveniently miss out with your issues is that outfits such a EuroTunnel won't transport cars with fuel under pressure of some 700 Bar, they won't allow any vehicles under pressure including LPG. You likely won't be able to drive through mountain passes i.e tunnels with those pressures, and in some countries you can't even park a car with LPG gas (at only 50 Bar) in underground car parks.
Gm made hydrogen fuel cells in the 50s they were an inviromental disaster then and always will be.
Looking forward to a streampunk city.
