petrol - hydrogen supplemented engines

[TWOJZ]

Might I ask how? are you going electric?

probably compressed natural gas.

converting a car to electric is expensive, $2000 - $3000 for the motor, another $3000 for batteries, high current motor speed controller, and everything else.

you'd probably be looking at an $8000 outlay, for a vehicle which would save you $3000 - $4000 a year? and would most likely need the batteries replaced every 4 - 5 years.

I suppose it would save you money, but you'd still need a second car for longer trips! meaning a second insurance, rego, and maintenance expense.

in all honesty hydrogen would work, its a matter of building an engine and tuning it to run richer mixes of hydrogen and petrol.

I wonder what it would be like with some boost.

dirty old diesel running waste vegetable oil.
