  1. Liquid hydrogen needs to be kept at like -250C, and no wouldn’t be much safer

  2. But it does...

  3. neoqueto haha 😂, Thunderf00t a flat earther?

  4. Orunitor because he’s talking about the weight of the gasoline, not the volume it takes up.

  5. Gasoline has a MUCH higher safe temperature range. Any small leak of hydrogen can be set off by a small spark.

  6. jmitterii2 another problem is efficiency. Making H2 uses more energy than you get back, it’s just changing where you use the petroleum.

  7. Yes a supercharger v3 can charge a battery in 20 minutes, but does that really compare to a gas stations ~2 minutes? And what about the energy grid? Our grid cannot handle a full population of electric vehicles, driving up prices once again.

  8. Canada is powered 59% by Hydro, 15% Nuclear, 19% Coal and other fossil fuels, and 7% other renewable sources. Just going to ask, do you think Canada’s energy grid could hold 350 million people?

  9. Do you think Toyota would shoot an incendiary round when trying to show safety?

  10. What about the lithium? It’s not cheap to make batteries you know, and that fact alone makes EV’s terrible when compared to a ICE

  12. No, he hates his stupid ideas.

  13. The average EV is about 130% heavier than a petrol vehicle, owing to its lithium battery.

  14. He’s already made a video on nuclear cars.

  15. What a good use of money, really should invest in more projects like that.

  16. Good for you, how much did it cost?
    1
  17. Not bad.

  18. Lithium is slot more explosive than gasoline. Just look at that car in China, or those Samsung phones that exploded.
    1
  19. Pulse Fel your phone isn’t constantly in car accidents, and there aren’t that many car accidents. But the risk is there. Fuel isn’t going to explode, but slowly burn. If a battery is impacted there will be an explosion.
    1
  20. Pulse Fel no, I can smash into a gas barrel and have a huge mess (or worse case scenario a fire) Smash into a lithium battery however: It will start smoking, and the heat of the impact alone could easily make it explode. So it’s actually quite a fair compromise.
    1
  21. Pulse Fel yes phones are safe, but they don’t have a half tonne battery strapped to them pumping out crazy high wattage. Please stop comparing full gas vehicles to small smart phones. Now about parts and failures, you know that if your cooling mechanism fails (like the incident in China) it can lead to flames and even an explosion.

  22. Pulse Fel and a side impact into an electric vehicle could be just enough to puncture the battery pack. 💥

  23. No, an electric car on average ways 30% more than a petroleum car. This is a bigger number than it seems, that can easily be a few hundred kgs. Anyway weight is a big thing when it comes to efficiency, speed and acceleration. It is the reason solar cars suck, and that electric cars can never get the the power or top speed of petrol cars.

  24. No shit.

  25. David Mcintosh the engines cheap, but the battery isn’t.
    1
  26. David Mcintosh no, an electric vehicle can be anywhere from 50-200% more expensive. Run costs in mind, you aren’t saving to switch to an electric vehicle.
    1
  27. David Mcintosh that is true, and the service costs are low due to the lower amounts of moving parts, but when the battery gives, it can be very expensive to replace.

  28. No he’s not saying the ideas bad, but pointing out the flaws in its design. Electric vehicles have a future, but just can’t stand up to the power or price of an IC car. Hydrogen is bad, that’s for sure.

  29. About his aerospacial science (what the hell is that) he really hasn’t made any amazing advances. He still can’t make a rocket as powerful as Saturn V, which is sad seeing as that was over 50 years ago

  30. ? What
    1
  31. To make hydrogen it uses loads of power
    1
  32. logan graham it uses slot more energy than you get out. We have electricity grids instead.
    1
  33. I see, but dead animals still taste so good
    1
  34. Got to get views some how.
    1
  35. ICE have an efficiency of 35%, but petrol carries way more energy per gram, making it more suitable for driving.
    1
  36. Which makes them suck
    1
  37. And ICE has an efficiency of 35% The rest is converted to heat so 35% of the energy reaches the wheel (not 10%) An electric engine has an efficiency of 60% If we instead filled a fuel tank up to the weight of a battery, the range would be enormous.
    1
  38. How?
    1
  39. As much as I can tell, when they land a rocket they scrap most of it.

  40. No, every car has energy loss. There is always some that is lost. Most of the energy is lost at the power station. The huge battery no matter where you put it, puts a strain on the engine.
    1
  41. BlurpGooDiJabba my point exactly. I said in my first comment that there is loss. Most power loss will occur at a power station.

  42. Well hopefully things improve. Lithium batteries are pretty terrible atm.
    1
  43. John H they don’t use much electricity. Lithium batteries are one of the biggest drawbacks to our electrical grid. They are expensive and don’t hold much, are prone to overheating and can easily explode. Your car uses a considerably bigger amount of electricity than your laptop or tv remote. A stupid comparison.
