Hydrogen On Demand is the future for all vehicles. 2000/4000 kms per litre of water. Your vehicle still uses its petrol/deisel fuel.Recent tests recorded 25.42 kms per litre/71.5 mpg. in a 250 Cu In Ford 6 cylinder. Engine life doubles. cooler temps, 5-15,0000 klm oil chages. more power.Zero exhaust emission, and turns back to water 4 ins from the end of the tail pipe.Only uses 1/2 – 1 psi intake pressure of Hydrogen generated. Costs with Electronoics and labour app $2-3,000. Units can be transferred to another vehicle. Australian made/ Aussy jobs . Water cannot be destroyed.it replesishes its self each day.Hydrogen On Demand will not destroy jobs, but make more work, and give increase in economy. Costs of fit up. Australia, sort yourself out. stop following everyione else, and get real.Regards Glen.

you people obviously only have one string to your bow.When you claim that all F250′s are fuel guzzellers,based on the claim that they must be because they are big, is just showing your bias against a vehical that is and was needed in the bush.They were good safe and far better fuel misers than ever the nissans patrol and toyota landcrusiers were.The F250 was a safe, great ridding, genuine three seater not a sardine can make believe three seater as the others are, and to top it all of the 4.1 ltr was very powerfull and very economic at 32 pmg.I have had it since may 03 and used it for both highway and paddock work.To top it all of it was a great load carrying and load towing work horse.This is what they were designed for.You guys lost the plot totally by making the claims you did.The petrol motor was very fuel guzzling in comparrission to both the diesels,nor was it as powerfull.It should not have been used out here.My ute was and is still one of the best work vehicals around.I know what i would sooner driver after shearing 200 shep per day or a hard day digging postholes and lifting posts,which by the way i have a navel hernia from.It was good on my sore back and knees i didnt ache nearly as much as when i am in another make. They were designed as a work horse not a yuppies’ vehical.No fwd is a city vehical for that matter and you fellas forget that when you by them.they were never meant for city streets. the most that should be in the city is a Ford Territory type car not a an f250 unless it is a brickky or that type of worker or if you tow a heavy load like a large boat or several horses or a caravan. kev

Hey I just did a similar post to “explode” the Hydrogen myth myself on the Sonata Diesel article – 100% agree with you.

From what I hear hydrogen is a waste. There is no hydrogen on the earth. In order to produce hydrogen water needs to be electrolyzed, which requires burning fossil fuels to power coal power plants. Some people say that nuclear power is best to produce electricity to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen to put in our cars. But transferring electricity straight from the plant into a plug-in hybrid leads to less energy loss than via hydrogen, which will require massive loss of energy because of the need to compress the gas and transport it using heavy trucks. Transferring electricity from plant to hybrid car however only requires a wire.

i totally see what steane is saying and with some of his thoughts i am the same.the funny thing that gets me is when they say like “the hottest day on record!!” SINCE LIKE 1960!!!!!
so this does suggest we are in some part of a cycle

i dont feel we should give up and i dont think steane is saying this either, yes if we can buy another 100yrs we can prepared better

as for hybrids…… what a joke. manufacturers that have them are just cashing in on blatent scare mungering.
they are no more efficient nor greener thana diesel. well actually they are worse than a diesel

Paul, how do you know honda are leading the way?? just because they have had ads going for 3yrs sprooking about it doesnt mean they are the ones on top
DONT BELIEVE EVERY THING YOU READ especially when it is commercial
oh yeah and toyota is doing no better than others on this topic if anything they are a bit behind

the is nothing guzzleing about my F2504wd.It has the 6cyl 4.4ltr motor and has averaged 31-32 mpg since day one and has been a flawless pleasure to own and drive.but not everyone should own one.they are designed to do certain jobs.When are we getting the the new model again.

“My point is that its also a naturally occurring phenomenon”

Correct it is, but whats happened in the last 100 years is not natural. So we might not be able to stop the next ice age. But you’ve got 40,000-100,000+ years to worry about that. Thats almost enough time for Holden to make a Hybrid

The kind of climate change we’re seeing with carbon emissions will hit us hard in the next 50-100 years, if not sooner.

Hmm I can see your point of view, but I think we are still far from the stage of “give up trying to prevent” and go for “how to deal”

the natural progression of global warming is as I said.. natural, but we have really sped it up, and I think we can slow it down too, and if that buys us another few hundred years (imagine how much different the world will be in 200 years! – just think back to 1900 and today)

A few more hundred years can mean the difference between the human racing surviving or having to start again.

Your right Alborz. It has changed dramatically. My point is that its also a naturally occurring phenomenon and we have just sped it along a little. It is also a phenomenon that speeds up all by itself without our help.

The Earth has been a ‘white globe’ (snow and ice covered) in the past, the seas have also been higher than they are now. Its just a long drawn out cycle. Either way stopping pollution or not it finishes with the end of the current ice age. We can’t stop that from happening.

We need to work out how to deal with it not try and prevent it cos thats impossible. If anyone is interested check out this link

I disagree steane,
the temperature and the climate has changed so dramatically in the last 100 years, more so than any other time in history.

there has to be a reason for that, its not just cars, its our whole way of society, we simply pollute, and in a not so distant future we are going to be paying for it big time.
