the last time i read an article about using hydrogen as a fuel had this “minor” prob.. in a bad car crash they become mini bombs…. and considering malaysians are wana be f1 drivers i can imagine hearing explosions from my apartment

Not really using pure hydrogen la, in hythene, hydrogen is like an addictive to improve flamability. So the car is no different then NGV, maybe a bit more powerful or a bit save fuel coz you dont have to inject so much hythene to enable burning.

Mini bomb? Not really, if the gas tank leaked, the hydrogen+methane gas will escape to high ground immediately due to that it is lighter then air. Unlike petrol, which will pool on the road surface and if theres a spark, you will see a big fire. Also, the high pressure gas cylinders is many times much more stronger then petrol fuel tank.

Ohh i left out something in the petrol definition:

- petrol: dinosaur died 100s millions years ago and buried deed underground, they are too fat and their fat and body become the raw material to make petrol. If they are depleted, we will have to wait for another 100millions years to pump from paul's grave yard that looks like a petrol station. So dont waste petrol.

We are just asking proton to improve quality, is that so hard to listen to us?

I open restaurant, food not delicious, friends will warn me, this not fresh that not cook, strangers will just walk away and tell 100 more strangers that my food sucks. But if I am so stuborn and refuse to listen to my friends, I am soon close shop.

Take it easy on the comparing with proton, how do you expect to change when you dont give a chance for our country to at least try to upgrade slowly? But when we manage to have a breakthrough in technology, everybody shuts up. Its very easy to complain, but its very tough to give compliments.

Ok heres some details of the fuels:

– Hythene: means hydrogen methane, is hydrogen gas mixed with natural gas(methane), the purpose of mixing them is to improve flammability of the gas fuel becoz hydrogen burns faster.

– biomethane: or known as biogas, one of the waste product of organic matters decaying without the present of oxygen. This is a green fuel that made of waste material.

– natural gas: you can get this at petronas NGV pump.

– E85: 85% ethanol mixed with 15% petrol, the ethanol can be made of jagung, tebu, ubi kayu, etc, it is renewable and cleaner then petrol. The 15% petrol is for easy cold starting.

– petrol: dinosaur died 100s millions years ago and buried deed underground, they are too fat and their fat and body become the raw material to make petrol…
