Why can't we use the "Magnetic Powerplants" to run our airpanes??

Or to make Hydrogen?

Klhoard,

I know what you're talking about now. I reviewed that other thread. I posted an article on something that might "SAVE US through a TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH".

You thought I had stock in this company and was just trying to profit. There is no company! It was information about research done by scientists. They think they have found a great new form of energy.

It was a Zero Point Energy article. It's a new technology that will take years to ramp up and IN THEORY can pull energy out of thin air. The government has been testing this energy through the TESLA project up in Alaska for decades.

It may help in the future, but really we need good 'ole NUCLEAR power now. GE and Warren Buffet are both making big investments in Nuclear power. The U.S. government is pushing Nuc Power in their Energy Policies.

Nuclear Power is ECO-FRIENDLY and PROVEN. Plants can be built in 3-5 years instead of 10 as in the past.

There are 104 Nuclear power Plants in the U.S. producing 20% of our power.

The old ones are safe, can be built even safer now, and can be used to PRODUCE THE HYDROGEN TO POWER FUTURE AUTOMOBILES AND AIRCRAFT.

Let's hope Hydrogen aircraft are built soon. If a lot of us around 30, like myself, want to have a career at 60-65 we better hope a different aircraft or engine that runs on a different fuel is built!!

Hydrogen is supposed to be safer and less flamable than gasoline.Jet

Exactly. In a car or plane crash, liquid gasoline spills all over the wreckage and the victims, and then burns. Hydrogen, being the lightest element, escapes into the air and rises quickly. There may be a momentary flash at the accident site, which could cause some burns to the victims, but it will rapidly dissipate upwards.

Europe already tried a passenger aircraft that used hydrogen. Had a pretty bad accident a while back.

And by my recollection, most of the fatalities were attributable to falling or being crushed by the wreckage. As someone pointed out earlier, the initial hydrogen combustion went upward, and the rest of the combustion was the flammable outer skin burning.

Wasnt this done before, ala The Hindenburg?

Yup. That's what we were just talking about. Seems to be a lot of misconceptions floating around out there.

You know, as long as we're on the subject, there has been a lot of talk about fuel cell cars lately. It seems like a needlessly complex way to put hydrogen to use. Mazda has already developed a hydrogen powered internal combustion RX-8. Why go through the trouble developing fuel cells, when this seems so much simpler?
