Convert your car to run on hydrogen??

The United Nuclear Hydrogen Fuel System Kit is an intermediate approach that simply converts your existing vehicle to burn Hydrogen or Gasoline. The stock Gasoline fuel injection system remains intact and is not modified in any way. It is shut down while the Hydrogen fuel system is activated.
The Hydrogen gas is precisely metered into the air intake of the engine while the exhaust gasses are continuously analyzed for correct burn ratio.
This allows you to switch between running on Gasoline or Hydrogen at any time. The engine itself is only slightly modified, the conversion makes substantial changes to the computer & electrical system, ignition and cooling systems. Since they never have to be removed, Hydrogen fuel storage (Hydride tanks) can be installed in virtually any available space within the vehicle.

Sounds too good to be true. The conversion kits cost $7000 - $10,000 so it doesn't look like it is worth it...yet...

Engines have no problem running off of hydrogen.

It comes with a generator:

The basic system consists of two parts, the Hydrogen fuel system in your vehicle, and a Hydrogen generating system that remains in your garage. The Hydrogen generator is either powered by Solar electric panels or a wind turbine set-up, either of which makes Hydrogen fuel at virtually no cost.
 
hydrogen fuel cells would be a far more efficient use of the hydrogen.


isn't hydrogen kind of expensive to be burning in a conventional engine? nm

Very interesting indeed.
 
I'd like to convert my car to run on partially hydrogenated oil and, through the magic of science, have the exhaust be delicious french fries.

Of course streets would then be lined with ketchup.

Such a thing exists, although.. not partially hydrogenated oil.

That would be pointless.. It's already enough of a PITA to get regular cooking oil thin enough, let alone something that is solid at room temperature.

There is no car that produces delicious french fries as an exhaust, only to land on ketchup-lined streets to feed the nation's homeless, and that's a fact!

Well... LOL!

This is true.

But.. the exhaust does take on a tinge of whatever the cooking oil was used to cook. 😉

I don't need no tinge. I want full-on, balls-to-the-wall french fries.
