InkyCats20

Afternoon everyone :hello:

I'm bored - there's nothing in particular I need to be doing but I can't seem to settle to anything this afternoon :rolleyes:

Went for a walk along the sea front this morning (before it got too busy) took some nice "scenic" photo's

Where is everyone this afternnon ?

Maybe

All done, neatly installed and bubbling lots of lovely hydrogen into the engine.
Running like a dream, will keep you posted on the fuel consumption.:D

It's the local school fete which explains the empty town here.
Maybe the rest have gone to Inky's beach.

No sorry Bookie, they're not here, well they might be about somewhere 'cos all the cars are still here but as it's nearly high tide the beach is almost empty - IYSWIM

Dunno, I did print off loads of stuff about 'brown gas' etc from tinterweb but i lost the will to live . I'm sure that the bicarbonate of soda has something to do with some chemical explanation or other.
Its a simplified version of what the car co are spending money on at the moment.
Honda have a car on the road which harvests hydrogen from the batteries and uses the various forces ( braking etc ) ro re-charge the whole system, a bit like a Prius but with a hydrogen fuelled engine rather than the cr*p, inefficient enginethey use. This means that the only emission is WATER.

Just :eek: expensive

Probably to contribute ions to make the water more conductive. You can use salt, but that can be corrosive.

Regenerative braking is quite an old technology now - F1 was going to use it in the 70's (IIRC) but that was banned.

The 100% hydrogen fuelled car is just a scam - that's not going to happen because it's just not sensible.

However adding hydrogen to normal petrol seems interesting - curious to see if it makes a difference.

Isn't everything?

The figures coming through are very good so far, particularly with deisels ( and cleaner, quieter ). i'm sure its all based on combustability of the gas, but we'll see....proof of the pudding etc

I dunno what to do with myself - not working, no kids, no money to go out anywhere. I'm bored and fed up.

I'm like that too snags, only I have the kids here, well the little ones anyway. Since I've stopped working I just feel like everyone is out having a life while I'm just sitting here doing nothing much. I get really bored quickly and that just gives me the 'can't be bothered' attitude. Amber has a better social life than me these days.

Hubby is off touring pretty much all summer. God I'm bored :rolleyes:

I can't seem to settle to anything....
