Yet another bullish tale about the Toyota Mirai fuel cell vehicle, this time highlighting the back-end stuff. The automaker has come up with a second video in its ‘Fueled by Everything’ campaign promoting the car, and like the first video, it keeps things simple so as to make it easier for consumers to understand what drives the hydrogen-powered car.
The science behind the workings is explained in simple terms – you have cows, and they produce manure, quite a bit of it. The waste isn’t wasted, but is put into a tarp-covered digestive feeder pond, where it’s mixed with water. The bacteria goes to work, breaking down the organic molecules in the manure, creating a bio-gas that puffs up the tarp.
The gas is then collected and sent on to the purification facility where unwanted elements are removed, resulting in clean, renewable natural gas consisting primarily of methane. This gas is then taken to the steam methane reformer – in the presence of a catalyst, water and heat strip the hydrogen out of the methane. That hydrogen provides the juice than powers the Mirai’s fuel cell system.
So, it turns out hydrogen isn’t bullsh*t, or rather it is – you get the drift. The Toyota Mirai – which made its debut in 2014 – is currently sold in the US, retailing for $57,500 (RM207,897).

Where does all the other unwanted minerals go? Into the atmosphere?
*unwanted gases
Don’t be sad about the false reporting. After all, UMW has been doing this for 30 years in Malaysia now.
Don’t worry. Spend your money on some good undergarments for your wife and gf. Myself and Sam Loo (ori1) are now undergarments promoter in Parkson. We left UMW long time ago after realising UMW was cheating the whole Malaysia with low quality cars, low RV cars and low safety features (2 airbags and no VSC)
Polluted air and earth
Toyota’s bullshit hahaha
Toyota Bullshit +2
Toyota turn your sh*t into energy!
whoever designs and approve to sell this car is totally an idiot.. those who buy it are even arseholes
Honda actually pioneered the hydrogen fuel car with FCX Clarity but has been phased out..i wondering why is the reason. Then Toyota come with this Mirai and did not patent the technology so every manufacturer can follow and suddenly they are the pioneer of this technology. Top Gear has test drive the FCX in California with James May behind the wheel and they praised the car as smart alternative to hybrid.
Maybe Hyundai will come up with a vehicle powered by rotten cabbage gases
Maybe Toyota will come up with a vehicle powered by hailat shouting sound due to bad RV
This article just explain a little information on hydrogen base car. You may learn and watch from youtube and america’s article. Sadly, this car will not sell in Malaysia as there is no hydrogen pump station. So the pollution in Malaysia is still high and toxic.
Don’t want to drive a car fueled by bullsh*t :(
