Reply #13: Hydrogen not good as a ICE fuel? Is Gasoline particularly "safe?"

[Trillo]

Remember the Pinto?

"It has especially poor properties as a fuel owing to its extremely low viscosity and extremely low critical temperature (the second lowest of all elemental substances). In fact the only property recommending hydrogen as a fuel is the combustion product, which is of course water."

Got any links backing up your statement that it's a poor ICE fuel?

"When used as a fuel in ICEs, either as 100% hydrogen or as a blended fuel with CNG, hydrogen appears to offer reduced air emissions and maintenance benefits, and it may provide power benefits as will. However, the economics of 100% hydrogen-powered or H/CNG-powered vehicles are not well defined. Concurrently, hydrogen infrastructure requirements, including hydrogen production and storage, are another are that requires greater understanding and development."

"Hydrogen has an excellent industrial safety record; codes and standards for consumer vehicle use are under development."
