Recent nuclear conspiracy at McMaster University

It'd be too impractical to have a fusion reactor in your car. The idea is that your car has high-capacity fuel cells that can be re-charged at stations. Maybe those owned by former oil companies.

Fuel cells, man, fuel cells.
 
I'd prefer to use petrol, it'd probably be really cheap and I'd know what was wrong with it if it fucked up. Plus how am I meant to have a tricked-out car if it doesn't have quad exhausts?
 
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention Hydrogen as a potential energy source.

As far as my science knowledge goes, you can obtain it from water, the waste in the separation process is oxygen, and the "final" waste turns back into water.
I've read that some scientists in CA developped hydrogen powered cars. So, explain to me, science boys, what's fundamentally wrong with this power source...

But again, the shadowly organization that rules the world and tries to enslave humanity relies too much on oil to let hydrogen power research come to an end ;) :P
 
In order to get hydrogen from water you need to perform electrolysis, and that takes at least as much energy to put in to break up the molecule as you would get from the molecule reforming again.

This is a fabulous and safe way of making energy, espeically for cars and the like, but where are you going to get the energy to create it in the first place? From the same sources that we're trying to eliminate.

It's a very good idea, but it's not saving us any energy at all.

EDIT: At least this is what I picked up from my Engineering Chemistry course last year.
 
To my understanding, it takes more energy to create hydrogen than the energy it can create.

Strictly speaking, no, the amount of energy put into hydrogen is the amount of energy you get out of it.

But of course, that's not counting other factors, loss of energy through inproper conducents, etc. etc.

But it's a good means of storing energy, nonetheless.
 
Like I said...

It's very efficient and very safe. Just too bad that we need to find a good source of energy to use it first.
 
As well as destroy the only significant source of income for Venezualia and the Middle East.
 
There are already hydrogen-powered BMW's. I wonder how they perform.

As for cold fusion matter, it sounds real nice, except that nobody knows how to accomplish it. To me, accomplishing fusion on room temperature seems more like science fiction that actual possibility. On the other hand, the imperfect and unpopular fission is available right here and right now. I heard that Germany is closing all its nuclear power plants. I wonder how they will generate power instead. Coal power plants? Oh goodie, more deadly pollution!
