Quantum Delivers More Hydrogen Hybrids

Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (Nasdaq: QTWW) announced that it has shipped eleven hydrogen-fueled Prius hybrid vehicles to Miljobil Grenland AS, a participant and vehicle provider to the Norwegian Hydrogen Highway (HyNor).

The Hydrogen Hybrid package for the Prius includes Quantum's electronic multi-point hydrogen injection system, turbocharger and intercooler, Quantum's compressed hydrogen fuel storage module and hydrogen fuel delivery system, and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) crashworthy design and validation. The eleven vehicles in this shipment were equipped with an extended range package, which was engineered by Quantum to provide additional hydrogen storage capacity and a resulting 30 percent increase in vehicle driving range between refueling. In addition to performing in specified starting conditions and meeting certain drivability specifications, these vehicles were designed to meet European safety standards, including the successful completion of crash testing to verify the safety of the converted vehicles.

The Norwegian government, industry participants, and the organizations participating in a joint effort called HyNor plan on creating a "Hydrogen Highway" between the capital, Oslo, and western Norway's port of Stavanger.

As part of the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (AQMD) program to develop and demonstrate hydrogen hybrid vehicles in Southern California Quantum is supplying 30 Prius hybrids; five of them have been delivered to the City of Santa Monica, California and five to the City of Burbank, California.

Is this a hydrogen combustion engine or a fuel cell?

The Prius engine is an Atkinson-Miller IC engine, coupled to a planetary geared CV hybrid transmission. Result, excellent fuel economy running on petrol.

The Quantum modifications replaced the fuel tank with a compressed hydrogen tank, a hydrogen fuel injection system, and added a turbocharger to the IC engine to improve fuel economy - but it still only goes 80 miles on one tank of H2. Yet another example of why H2 is a bad choice for an automotive fuel.

These alterations cost more than a plug-in battery addition, and H2 costs much more than "electric fuel". Why would anyone choose the more expensive less efficient option?

Qantums reason for their foolishness is they hope to sell their costly 10,000 psi (yes, 5 tons per sq. inch!) carbon fiber tanks.

Recent efforts into Hydrogen Fuel research have uncovered an improved method for creating hydrogen gas - the process utilizes microbial fuel cells to produce carbon-neutral hydrogen with *nearly 300% more energy than current procedures.

Hybrid Technology is one of the best technology develop now a days in automobile world & doing great. Hybrid cars are considered to be alternatives to standard fuels because they can run on either a gas engine or be powered by the rechargeable energy storage system.
I would like to stay upgrade with this technology, so keep posting…..!!
