- This hydrogen technology was banned by the US government for years but now thanks to Sandy Munro's mention of it in one of our conversations this hydrogen electric car tech could actually propel hydrogen cars passed battery powered electric cars, and today I'm talking with the man behind the technology and the founder of Plasma Kinetics Paul Smith.

The word BANNED in all caps in the title is the first sign that this is BS.
Now wow this video didn’t age well but was bs already at the time
Toyota is not an electrification denier. They just refuse doing it the wrong way, like everybody else.
Today, I charge my EV with solar power made on my roof. It's been a revelation to me. I'd have trouble now going back to an energy source I needed to rely on others to price and provide.
hmmmmm. I just wish there was a way I didnt have to go to a "refueling" station. Someone needs to come up with some technology that allows you to refuel at your convenience, like maybe at home. Even better would be if you wake up full of energy everyday. Maybe one day.
This is not the land of opportunity, but Extortion
No. Simply no. Lets see a working model please.
iT'S BEEN 2 YEARS, WHERE WE AT? oops, sorry:)
Whenever I hear of a technology supposably being banned, I get skeptical. I'm not sure what could be banned about using a metallic hydride for storing hydrogen, the technique has been around for almost 50 years. The trick is to release the hydrogen from the hydride you need heat, the hydride cools as the hydrogen is released, which could aid in air conditioning, but where do you get the heat. Originally the thought was to burn the hydrogen in an ICE engine and use the exhaust heat to release more hydrogen. Not a bea idea, but terribly inefficient. Apparently the big deal here is using light to release the hydrogen, that's why the very thin film is required. The banned part is probably marketing hype.
getting my popcorn ready. someone is getting a chemistry 101 lecture here.
You didn't ask the relevant questions: 1. What are the conversion losses in generarating the hydrogen and getting it onto the film?
You should have Elizabeth Holmes from Theranos on next, because
"As we learned in high school hydrogen is positively charged"
The cost of producing green hydrogen is the real problem with hydrogen
Plasma Kinetics sounds like a game changer! It does apply to long range trucking, extra terrestrial aircraft, and subterranean vehicles. Plus it's produced at windmills!
Thank you so much. That was incredible! I’m 57 yet I still hope I will be around when this technology in cars for your average consumer. Keep us posted.
Prototypes are easy, manufacturing is hard
There will NEVER be a day where we can throw away thermodynamic..
IMO: I enjoyed reading all the technical analysis and inherent known and unknown issues with this technology, but as a non-scientist, I would say the hydrogen fuel "discs" would need to be substantially cheaper than BEV per mile for the average person to be willing to change out multiple 15lb., discs for every 20 miles of driving, as opposed to plugging in a cord.
A terrific double act. Being Sandy's straight man 👏🏽
