#Battery based #EV are a fad, scam and duds. Absolute cul-de-sac stopping us from implementing real solutions to get away from hydrocarbon-based ICEs.

We could absolutely switch/transition to #LH2 ICEs from diesel ICE tech (higher press manifolds than #gasoline), and do that for a long while, before we get to some Clarkes-3rd-Law solution (lol).

Die analysierten Länder und deren #Bereitstellungskosten einschließlich #Transport nach #Deutschland.

Die Kosten für die Produktion von Flüssigwasserstoff (#LH2), Ammoniak (#NH3), Methanol (#MeOH), #Kerosin (Jet fuel) und Fischer-Tropsch-Produkten (FT-Mix) sind mit zusätzlich errichteten #Erneuerbaren-Anlagen kalkuliert.

Für die kohlenstoffbasierten Energieträger wird #CO2-Abscheidung mittels #DirectAirCapturing (DAC) angenommen. (Bild: Fraunhofer ISE)

Today is the anniversary of the #Apollo11 Moon landing!
At Kennedy #Space Center’s Visitor Complex, it’s possible to visit the #Apollo / Saturn V Center, where a #SaturnV #rocket is on display, with its stages separated.
These are the 5 J-2 engines that powered the S-II stage that was the second stage on the Saturn V.
They burned liquid hydrogen (#LH2) and liquid oxygen (#LOX). This high-energy combination of propellants made it much easier for the United States to build a successful #Moon mission, whereas the Soviets were forced to stick with hypergolic fuels or kerosene, making lunar missions impractical.

This is a view of :nasa: #NASA’s #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis’ aft section on display in the #AtlantisMuseum, #KSCVC. #Florida with #OMS pods and 3 replica #SSMEs installed.
The three Space Shuttle Main #Engines burned liquid hydrogen #LH2 and liquid oxygen #LOX stored in the External Tank to push the #Shuttle into #orbit.
The OMS helped the #Orbiter enter its final, intended orbit and carry out its mission.
OMS and the #RCS were both fueled by toxic, but #storable #hypergolic propellants ( #MMH and #N204). These components had to be #decontaminated before displaying them.
