Thanks for the update. Hopefully gas doesn’t jump up. I am in Mass and just paid $2.59 a gallon for 93 octane. Are you running 93 in the TRX?
Hate to kill hope but I think gas is going up. The new administration is canceling pipelines like crazy. Gas will still get to the pump but we will just burn millions of gallons of diesel getting it there.... genius "green" strategy.
Shoot. I’d be happy with that. My current rig sees 13. Well. There may be a few mods involved. Keep the updates up.
GM just announced all ICE's in their cars dead by 2035....Lord we will all be driving around in golf carts. What is the big freakin deal with electric cars. Why are they tryin to push them off on us?? My light bill will sky rocket trying to keep them charged up.
And we will have a big pile of plastic and batteries to throw away at the end of it all.
By no means am I saying hydrogen is the absolute answer. I just know with the current technology of batteries, we will do just as much, if not more, damage if all vehicles were battery powered. Nobody seems to be thinking about EOL for these things. One quick search on e-waste discusses how bad cell phones and laptops are, and they have one battery each. A tesla has what, a few thousand cell phone batteries?I haven’t paid much attention to H2 since I did a project on it in college looking at designing a production and filling station.
What are they doing now. I remember it taking a whole shit ton of energy to make the H2 mostly cause you have to pressurize so much you’d be driving around a bomb. And we weren’t exactly seasoned engineers, so we may have just designed a terrible process

...Aaaaaand what must one burn in order to charge all of those batteries? You guessed it... liquid dinosaurs.
Now I am interested in advances.
Wasn't even going to go there but amen. Unless we want to commit to the power (and risk of) Nuclear we will be burning dinosaurs and celebrating throwing batteries into the sea. I love folks who don't realize that rubber plastic, lubricant, glass, steel, etc... all require liquid dinosuars. We need a plan before we denounce the dinosaur and it just isn't there yet.
Agree 100%. I too am interested in advances HiElevation, but until they get those cells smaller and more efficient (and they're working on that), the brown goo isn't going anywhere... only getting more expensive.

Latest I have seen on hydrogen was making a coating that allowed for salt water usage.
A new way to generate hydrogen fuel from seawater
Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen presents an alternative to fossil fuels, but purified water is a precious resource. A Stanford-led team has now developed a way to harness seawater – Earth’s most abundant source – for chemical energy.
I think I'm looking forward to that probably more than anything else. My LE has the HK but in reality it will rarely get turned on. It's all about the sound for me. I get in trouble with my nurse at work daily for playing automotive YouTube videos too loud in my office
