Got To Thinking About These New Hydrogen Powered Cars....
 

they claim that these cars produce nothing but water as a byproduct. no harmfull emissions..... well i was thinking how is this gonna work in the very cold area's of the world? i mean to me it sounds too simple but if it emits water, and it gets sub-freezing, then what is gonna happen to the water as it's running out of the car? or if it sits and idles and builds up some water in the exhaust pipe, will it freeze solid and bust the exhaust? or what about a safety hazzard when it's below 0* and it's spurtin water on the highways or roads and leaving spots of ice...... i dono i'm kind of skeptal about it all.... just some of the hairbrained things i think about during the day while i'm driving.....

They'll leave water on the road.

The municipalities will add more salt to combat the ice.

The cars will rust out even faster due to the added salt.

We'll all buy new cars twice as often as we used to.

See, everybody wins....

Since the inception of the catalytic converter we have had water running out of the exhaust so its not an issue. The engine heat transmitted through the exhaust keep the water warm enough not to freeze until it exits.

To add to it, one thing that the manufacturers aren't telling everyone is that they create 32% more pollutants to the earth in the manufacturing process of hybrids than a conventional internal combustion hydrocarbon burning vehicle. SO where is the logic behind the EPA's claims?

its not like a running garden hose or anything...cup of water per 1000kms or so...



I have this vision in my head from your post of a Zamboni running down the hiway...lol

lol Then we could all use the freeways as a giant hockey rink. :)

Keep your stick on the ice boys.....lol

yeah the lead mines producing the lead for all those batteries they are using hurt the enviroment 10x's more than any pollutant a vehicle produces.....

not tryin' to tick anyone off but if it expells water as exhaust then there is gonna be a bend in the up position that will create a "low" spot in the system. that lowspot would seem to me like a trap on a sink. then when the vehicle would stop for the night wouldn't all that water freeze?

Exhaust pressure is built up on stock restrictive exhaust systems and will push it out. Whatever remains will be evaporated by the exhaust temperature.

who wants to drive a hydrogen bomb around anyway
