Take A Closer Look At “Zero”, Mike Copeland’s Hydrogen-Powered 1948 Chevrolet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- If you didn’t notice the large fuel tank in the bed, this 1948 Chevrolet pickup truck would just be another clean-cut, supercharged LS-swapped cruiser. And that’s where you’d miss the entire point. Built by Mike Copeland of Arrington Performance and Diversified Creations, “Zero”, as the truck is known, is a rolling testbed that is proving that an internal combustion engine doesn’t have to emit pollutants…or be yet another commuter-car special.

WE SAVING V8s yall
Save the environment and our hot rods. Everybody gets to win gotta fuckin love it!
Toyota will love this.
This is awesome. However with only 3kg of hydrogen in the giant tank, that's only equivalent to running about 3 gallons of gasoline. I know you hinted at the small range, would love to hear what's being done about it. Obviously, you could run 10,000 PSI tanks instead of 5,000. And liquid hydrogen at -423°F has a nightmare of other issues.
Scott, where can i follow you? You have a lot of knowledge about these topics.
It's amazing that you did this restmod one year before Toyota
I love this ❤️ 🔥
😍Nice!!!!!👍
what dash did you put in the 48 chevy truck
The future is gaseous hydrogen not ev's.....great chunk of cash & master engineers come together for that bad boy. I think it's shit hot guys.greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍
How do I get this for my car.
Send me the kit please Guys.
Cool
I have a question, can people produce the nitrogen themselves? In other words, can it be done in a small shop building? Or can this be produced as the vehicle is driving?
It is Hydrogen and yes you can produce your own Hydrogen via electrolysis you can by units of varying sizes that produce so many units per hour. Can be done in a closet its how little space they can take up.
You can produce it yourself. On smaller units it takes about 70kWh per kg. Although the electrolyzers are pretty pricy at about $2,000/kW for smaller units. Something that can make 1kg per day runs in the order of $5,000 to $6,000. That would take about 3 days to fill the tank in that truck which would give you the driving range of about 3 gallons of gasoline.
@@scottkolaya2110Except you don’t need to when hydrogen fueling stations are made more available throughout the country. The government will be funding prices to add hydrogen fueling and exchange tank stations.
@@ethanweeter2732 of course, but that wasn't the question. They just wanted to know if it could be as convenient as EVs.
Rip
Where does the H2 come from? There is no green H2 or electricity...H2 mostly comes from CH4 (methane) . Methane is cheaper than H2 and more available. CO2 is not a problem - it does not cause climate change.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and here on earth. You can produce it green. We have these giant areas on the planet with lots of sunlight. You take that sunlight and harnass it via solar you then take water (salt or fresh) and you perform electrolysis using that solar power and WHAM you got hydrogen. Then you can store , transport or pipe hydrogen like we do gas and oil anywhere you need or want it.
@@iwikeu You have a very simple and wrong view....there are no green solar panels...the mining and manufacturing of panels is not green....the land under the panels suffers from lack of sun. CH4 is cheaper than H2 and already available...it produces some CO2 when burned but so what?
@@kingmiura8138 the only thing green mankind can truly do is die off as a species because about anything we do on the planet is about destructive. So we should go with your plan because were well on the way to dieing off as a species its just a matter of time. The planet will be just fine it has went through several mass extinction events.
@@iwikeu Hydrogen is far from the most abundant element on earth. And while you can produce it with solar, the electrolizers are still too expensive to be only running them when the sun is shining and you have to scale them to meet the peak solar output. And it's also a lousy energy storage from an efficiency standpoint. If you run them in fuel cells to drive, just imagine needing to install 4 times as many panels to drive the same distance as storing the same energy in more efficient methods. California has been trying it for the last decade, but it's just way too expensive.
This is just the bee's knees. I'm sick of the BS around EVs & how we're told they are so clean yet has anyone seen the amount of terrible chemicals & heavy metal elements in those fancy LiOn cells that so many folks just throw away? I'm happy too that i can see me using my stonking great V8 in the future afteral...
The Lithium will be replaced by solid state in the next few years, but hydrogen should be the ultimate clean replacement to gas and diesel.
I appreciate the try. But hydrogene wont be the future. It has some value in ships or mining equipment. But for cars. No.
You literally just watched a video that proves you’re wrong. SMH Wow!
Hydrogen Bombs are stupidly powerful, now imagine if we can harness that energy as a fuel source instead
400hp on an ICE engine that has zero emissions. Why dont we switch to this?
Just wait like five, six years and we will have at least half of the infrastructure, for example Cummins is investing into hydrostations big time!
Range. That big tank only holds the equivalent of 3 gallons of gasoline. And obviously building filling stations. California already has over 50 H2 public filling stations.
People are scared because it is hydrogen when it will be safe. The hydrogen production cars we have now are fairly safe.
@@ChummiaChanInteresting, I know the A Plant in Piketon, Ohio is going to be used for hydrogen fuel production possibly, but Cummins investing is so awesome.
@@scottkolaya2110Hydrogen would be better than EV because it is not nearly as harmful to get either. You can convert water into hydrogen fuel which uses a bunch of energy, but does not add much pollution.
We need this 🏁
Just amazing
Mike this is really awesome! True game changer for the industry. Good luck & keep up the great work.
Watch urself from the government!
I do remember the man that had built a motor that ran on water. He tried to get a patent on it, and they refused his patent and was threatened. Not to talk about this invention ever again . Rest in peace, this man is no Longer with us. United we stand divided we fall. Thank you for your great invention.
@@brettcinder258 Oh, do you mean Stanly Meyer that screwed his investors over after they found his water car was a fraud. That guy. More like he borrowed money from the wrong people to screw over.
Government is funding projects like these. You don’t think DARPA has already been doing this?
Absolutely awesome
I wonder what injectors you would run with a stock ls3?
Yeah, but where do you get the hydrogen, and how much pollution is generated to collect it?
Two ways mainly. One is through high temperature steam reformation of methane. The other is electrolysis. Roughly 70kWh per kg (when you count everything). To put it in perspective, 1kg of H2 gets you maybe 20 miles in this. 70kWh gets you 140 miles in an F150 lightning, or about 280 miles in most EVs.
How is the hydrogen produced?
stay tuned - my company is fixing to make it via electrolysis near Detroit
Should have named it hindenburg 2!
😁😂🏁
You realize the reason the hindenburg burned because of the flammable coatings (7 of them) used to seal it? Hydrogen is a super light gas if exposed to air and lit on fire it goes straight up at 40 miles per hour it doesn't burn like gasoline. Devil in the details and most people aren't willing or able to take the time to learn about the details and details matter.
What sort of ignition are you running?
I’m just guessing they probly tune the PCM to retard the timing closer to zero tdc 😉
