Rechargeable electro-sludge could be a boon for electric vehicles - Polidicks

Atleast I will do it in style.

This won't come into use as long as the oil corporations have a say.

i hope people who are advocating hydrogen do realize that you dont get that stuff magically from the hydrogen plants it takes the process of electrolysis to extract hydrogen from water, and electricity ain't free. sure, you could say that we'll use solar farms, wind turbines, and other renewable energy sources for the electricity, but our primary source is still from burning coal. now if you support both nuclear AND hydrogen, that's a definite yes. incredible amounts of electricity + hydrogen fuel = save the world and save money

[QUOTE=Turnips5;32252364]Basically, instead of having to recharge a battery in your hypothetical electric car, in theory you could just pump out your flat slurry and pump in new pre-charged slurry, while the "slurry station" or whatever does the actual recharging.[/QUOTE] I always thought: Why don't we make battery exchange stations in cars? Instead of parking your car for 30 minutes while it charges, which sucks, you pull in, slip out the batteries, slip new ones in, put the old batteries in the charge station, pay, drive off? Of course we'd have to redesign all electric cars so that the batteries were accessible and removable easily, but it'd be an improvement.

I wonder what it smells like?...

Hydrogen is not even an option. The models of vehicle that DO run on hydrogen? One million dollars. I think that electric is the way to go. Safe, efficient, and can go through many leaps in technology. Sounds good to me.

What I think is most exciting about this is the fact that instead of this being a theoretical, far off idea, they [i]actually have a bottle of the stuff right there.[/i] Sounds like a plan![/QUOTE]Rechargeable and replaceable sounds awesome

[QUOTE=KorJax;32252903]Yeah lets cut this electric shit and get Hydrogen plz. They already have Hydrogen pumps in California I think. It's the perfect car - not nearly as toxic to produce as eletric, creates Water as its waste, etc Only issue is that Hydrogen sounds like it would be expensive to produce on a wide scale. At least we know it'll never run out.[/QUOTE] Sounds good [img]http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/images/hindenburgh-omen.jpg[/img] Oh wait

[QUOTE=V12US;32265378]Sounds good [img]http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/images/hindenburgh-omen.jpg[/img] Oh wait[/QUOTE]If you understood how hydrogen fuel cells worked you'd realize how stupid it is to post that picture

[QUOTE=V12US;32265378]Sounds good [img]http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/images/hindenburgh-omen.jpg[/img] Oh wait[/QUOTE] Because blimp balloons are totally like hydrogen fuel cells or even gas tanks right guys
