geeky moment this morning...

Recommended Posts

so i get out of the tube this morning, walking up oxford street to work and what do i see driving up the road...

a HYDROGEN powered bus B| i'd heard mayor ken had bought three, but i thought it was one of things that was never going to happen. But no no no no... there it was with people on it and everything. I was so impressed. Dont really think anyone else on oxford street could give a monkeys, but ah well...

there was hactual steam coming out of the exhaust! and on a freezing morning like today it looked like huge clouds of thick white smoke, really cool !



yeah, i need to get out more...

lol, theres only three of them...

i think the price tag of just over a million each will keep it that way for the time being, but they're bloody cool. I just wish they would hurry up with the technology so we could have it in our cars, industry etc...

what about a hydrogen powered jump ship?? waters cheaper than jet fuel = cheaper jump tickets!!

sounds good to me, but in the meantime I can just carry on practicing my exit positions in the door of the bus as we hurtle at top speed round various obstacles. They just need to install a little hanging rail or something for floating exits. Who needs to go to the dz to use a mock up.

DITTO!!

Now all they have to do is figure out cold fusion. Then the world can start to get clean again. Well the world outside of my mind that is;)

The problem is, where do you get the hydrogen? Yeah, you can get it from water, but it takes the same amount of energy to pry it from the from the water and it gives up when you burn it and turn it back to water again.

Unless you can get it from another planet, or the sun, there's no free ride here. No need to sell your Exxon stock.
