Hydrogen in cars
« on: November 10, 2022, 07:09:15 AM »
I just saw the interesting video: "The Unfortunate Truth About Toyota's Hydrogen V8 Engine". link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjKwSF9gT8 . This video clearly shows the limitation of storage of energy in Hydrogen for use in cars. For me it is a disadvantage that one didn't use the metric system in the explanation.

Adriaan:
In the one I found he talks with both

Even while the USA is mostly stuck in the "other" one , when they start talking numbers I much prefer the metric system (except when it comes to temperatures)

You use the same link and so I get the same video. Yes he mixes both systems by using gallons for volume, pound foot for torque and kilograms for mass. Metric uses ° Celsius or ° Kelvin for temperature. What is the advantage of using ° Fahrenheit for temperature like it is generally done in America? Scientific formulas are so much simpler if you use the metric system. The strange fact is that officially America is using the metric definitions to derive the inch and pound related values.
