jesus, I thought the way Disney treated Alex Hirsch and Dana Terrace was bad, but this shit is unbelievable. if we had an industry wide reckoning on the way animators and VFX artists are treated today, it’d still be about 20 years too late

Yeah Ford patented this but it’s not going anywhere.

Except an example national effort to provide hydrogen refuelling had one of the three stations detonate with such ferocity that it set off airbags in surrounding cars.

Molecular Sieve for Hydrogen Tanks Increases Storage Capacity up to 4X - News (eepower.com)Molecular Sieve can increase capacity at lower pressures.

Given how EVs use rare earth elements for the motors and the battery packs and how the saber-rattling racist Chinese have us over a barrel with their supplies of such elements, anything that can happen to keep us from being beholden to those lying racists gets my attention. Go hydrogen? Works for me.

“Yes you read that right, 5000-10,000psi. Refueling should be fun.”

Now take all those problems and multiply them by 2x because hydrogen combustion is about half as efficient as fuel cells.

Hydrogen isn’t a good automotive fuel for mass market applications. Here’s why:

This sounds like an awful solution. Accidents often create sparks or other ignition sources and if the H2 gas were to be released *on purpose* it certainly would ignite in a spectacularly dangerous way. A properly reinforced H2 tank is absolutely necessary to prevent injury. Automotive H2 tanks are incredibly strong…

Re: The Gol -- The Volkswagen do Brasil vehicles have always been profoundly fascinating to me. Personally, I’d love to buy an SP2 someday. I just love the look, and it’s one of the dead-simple, air-cooled/rear-engine/RWD family of Volkswagens.

One summer, I picked up a job at a design firm, just doing intern stuff, the grunt work. I was assigned the task of making coffee every morning in one of those big urns. After a couple of weeks, people began to bitch and moan about the coffee tasting bad. I just made it the way they told me—fill urn with water, add…
