    Default Free beer scantily clad women and the fuel crisis.

    Now that I've established the correct demographic I'll fess up, this is about hydrogen power
    So these guys are putting their money where they're mouth is.
    Best part, they are motorcycle nuts so should be partially sane. That doesn't sound right but read on and see what they are up to.

    Here's the blurb about the plant they are building...

    None of your fuel cell complications, lithium mines or oil market rigging to deal with .

    Nice lure,mate!

    Hydrogen needs to be kept under intense pressure to be transported safely. That's the hurdle no one has been able to crack yet, but they're thinking some kind of carbon-fiber fuel tank may work if they can get the economics of it right.

    This is Toyota's latest, not sure how far one of these would propel say a Spyder or how long it would keep beer cold on a camping trip. I like the one product does all aspect of it and if it stops the freeloaders in the next camp with their solar doesn't work when its cloudy or dark can we have a beer please, sign me up.

    Bleedin'eck Cobwebs! . Not satisfied with just the Free beer & scantily clad women, you're really out to get me in trouble for not removing that porn link immediately like I shoulda orta, aren't you!!

    And with a 'green' V8 engine pumping out 450 horsepower at 6,800 rpm and a peak torque of 540 newton-meters (or 398 pound-feet) at 3,600 rpm, & no nasty emissions except water, it really is some sorta porn, isn't it!

    I'd really like to see this hit the streets.... the engine that is, not just the Free beer & scantily clad women!

    Now THERE's a worthwhile project!

    I've got a pretty big shoe-horn Bill... . And a very effective gas-axe!

    So with a little bit of thought & some effort, I reckon we could MAKE it fit!! . Just tell me when & where, & I'll be on my way!

    Yeah, i mean they've all got them on the drawing boards but the agenda has gone sideways for the moment. Just needs the general public to be exposed to the reality of recharging 60 trillion flashlight batteries a day and we'll get to the Playboy V Penthouse stage is my take.
    Meanwhile if you like reading the articles and breaking out the spanners back at the warm beer camp.................
