OLD SCHOOL NEW.
Eddy Crowley here, as usual I'm a bipolar dyslexic with near no alphabetical or numerical key word recall,
I document from memory and know I would have seen this film several times when young and
it ends up very close to my work below, I only realised after all my take was done.
Taking advantage of the mistaken belief that hydrogen is a nuclear bomb fuel, not realizing that it takes a nuke to set it off.
Welcome to Chariot-Auto.com
Ideas man Eddy Crowley of www.hex7art.com here, this website is the most important of all my 20 project sites.
It has evolved since early December 2020 to a variety of pages of options for Hydrogen to be utilized and made off shore.
I have tried to keep the site's content funny, so some of my posts are a bit tongue in cheek, or meant to be funny, eureka style.
The main mission of the project site is to reverse engineer, then evolve Sir Clive Sinclair's C-5 seating position
and lever based steering, also preliminary research into L.P.G. style conversions of petrol cars to also run on hydrogen, see engine page.
This site is very much a starting point, near back of envelope scrappers, to establish a design brief to develope
new formats that will utilise existing infrastructure, hopefully part way to establish proof of concept for green one seat
Hydrogen powered transport for daily commuting.
I hope the site could inspire colleges and Universities to do projects to design and prototype nano units and infrastructure.
I hope the content at least gives you a good laugh, under the masks. Enjoy.
The home page has highlights of the entire site, more in depth information on the individual pages.

Back to original site with hydrogen powered internal combustion engines.
Welcome to Chariot-auto.com
This project is the basis of a design brief for a green Ulster auto industry :
The case for duel fuelled vehicles, conversion kits for petrol engines that can easily switch
to hydrogen gas ( engine page ) with a similar refuelling to L.P.G. petrol engine conversions.
Hydrogen and natural gas (L.P.G.) are very similar as fuels, so the differences between the
components needed to burn them are trivial, and interoperable systems are easily made.
L.P.G. style hydrogen kits could be developed to be retro fitted to classic sports cars worth
the investment and Gov. spec utility vehicles, if adopted by Stormont.
The information provided on this site is primarily a collage of other people's work, mainly validated on Wikipedia, the world encyclopedia.
My input is as a creative who has done many collages both with printed paper cut up and glued punk style, (a style that evolved from
the Da-Da art movement in the early 1900's) and digital collages on Photo shop, It is from my artistic background and experience as a graphic
designer (where I found establishing a design brief was the hardest part), that I have organized the information on this site.
My basic conclusion is that Hydrogen is an old school analogue solution to global warming.
One that at least the military should research and think about investing in.
The objective of this site is to establish a green auto industry in Ulster. The first spark of the concept was when I remembered Top Gear's
hydrogen powered BMW review, mid 2000s, and over time accepted the science of hydrogen fueled internal combustion engines as fact.
Through this project and many other people's projects, I hope that in the 21st century Ulster will hop, skip and jump into the future and lead
the world in eco diversity with the most sustainable green energy cycle in the western world.

The concept for this site is Bi-fuelled utility vehicles, hydro-sports cars and Sinclair style hydro-micro cars,
giving both petrol / gasoline and hydrogen gas powered choices, like L.P.G. conversions.
The ideal would be for Shorts to build the body and Harland and Wolff to build the chassis for the utility units.
We could lead the way in robust eco-friendly hydro powered utility vehicles and also develop a hydro-sports and hydro-micro car option.
Decisions would need to be made at government level to test bed the tech in N. Ireland.
For the utility vehicles, example farming, industry, public transport, Gov. utility vehicles, all with various build options,
they could be made in order to meet demand, as defined by the government's requirements.
Project started 20/12/2020
Finish target 31/12/20 23.59.59
Finished 03/01/21 ( more information on hydrogen added 17/01/2021 )
I will approach Stormont when this site is no longer 'Under Construction' and is fit for purpose.
As an ideas man, I see this project developing into a business in a box, the basis of a good business plan that the
government can have at cost price to develop and deploy, me only ever having creative input.
On 04/01/2021 I contacted the five main parties about this project, as yet (17/01/2021) there has been no reply.
Over the past two weeks (14/01/21) I have been trying to get Microsoft advertising to promote the site and today they closed my account with the following email.
29/06/21 My account with MS advertising has been reinstated without any notification.

To start things off the most important thing is to understand that hydrogen and oxygen can be made from water
with a process called electrolysis. The big decision is how to power the electrolysis, either by renewables
like solar and wind farms or nuclear probably on a massive scale.
Below are my findings from information I gathered in the public domain, mainly Wikipedia,
in summary it is all in support of hydrogen as a viable fuel source that has very green credentials.
Two leads, running from the terminals of a battery, are placed in a cup of water with a quantity of electrolyte to establish conductivity in the solution.
Using NaCl (table salt) in an electrolyte solution results in chlorine gas rather than oxygen due to a competing half-reaction. With the correct
electrodes and correct electrolyte, such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), hydrogen and oxygen gases will stream from the oppositely
charged electrodes. Oxygen will collect at the positively charged electrode (anode) and hydrogen will collect at the negatively charged
electrode (cathode). Note that hydrogen is positively charged in the H2O molecule, so it ends up at the negative electrode. (And vice versa for oxygen.)
Below is an example of a hydrogen solar farm by Belgian company Tiger power (https://twitter.com/Tigerpower_eu?s=20 )
Note: I have contacted Tiger power for confirmation on product as website is not live, awaiting reply.
As confirmation of the hydrogen solar farm below has not been received the image below is for
illustration purposes only as to how one might look.
It uses excess power from solar to make hydrogen and store it to run generators when not enough solar is available, at night etc.
The same concept could also be powered by wind and wave farms in N. Ireland.
In simple terms it just transforms live power 'electricity' into potential energy gasses hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis with water,
that can be combusted in an internal combustion engine to power machines or drive a generator going back to electricity.

L.P.G. style hydrogen powered internal combustion engine conversion kits required ?
Hydrogen and natural gas (L.P.G.) are very similar as fuels, so the differences between the
components needed to burn them are trivial, and interoperable systems are easily made.
L.P.G. style hydrogen kits could be developed to be retro fitted to classic sports cars worth the investment.
Wheeler dealer episode of Edd China fitting an L.P.G. conversion to a Land Rover defender : https://youtu.be/uuCdlY3e0Ko
The hydrogen would be mixed with the air in the intake manifold in an internal combustion engine.
The hydrogen tank would need a pressure escape valve as hydrogen expands from liquid at low temperatures.
You would probably need a butterfly valve on the exhaust to bypass the catalatic converter as does not like water.
BMW Hydrogen 7 - Wikipedia
V-12 might be a bit much, maybe a V-6 version.
Only complete lack of infrastructure condemned it back in 2007, similar to a L.P.G. tank fill up at most garages.
Begs the question, is it better to convert utility petrol vehicles to run on hydrogen rather than replace them ?
Nuclear or renewables to power hydrogen power plant idea. refill like L.P.G. now for road transit:
As part of the desalination process the sea water's cadmium chloride could be used to make solar panels :
We have the technology for hydrogen based internal combustion engines since the noughties
BMW could either supply the engines or give us their noughties blue prints to make our own.
