The future…

Iwouldn’t have expected anyone in the world other than the Honda guys to come up with something so wonderful. The latest commercial version of the only(as far as i know) hydrogen-cell powered passenger vehicle in the world, the new Honda FCX-Clarity. So whats good about this car?It runs on hydrogen, is a saloon and has 100kw of power.That is enough power to light up a whole street of houses for a day. And the only output is,WATER!!So, you can quench your thirst also.Bake the cake and eat it too..hmm :)

 

And as per the site, it costs $600/month for a 3year period and on one tank runs to about 250miles(roughly 130kms), that’s cheap & economical.Yes,its commercially available only in U.S of A, but what gives, they guzzle the most amount of gas in the world wide world.But are they going to get out of their MUV craze is anyone’s wild guess.i hope Arnie takes it more as a cause in California, at least the water vapor will provide relief from the drought, and with the money in there, everyone can afford it.

Honda has also gone a step ahead by inventing a home solution to make hydrogen,This is some sort of a backyard gas plant that will regenerate hydrogen from house waste and other sources. Considering the fact that hydrogen refuelling plants are not abundant, this to me is the invention of the century.

But the only worry is the safety of the hydrogen cells, i don’t think these cells are currently considered much safe for India sort of usage. The Honda guys have just bought India’s first hybrid car this month(Civic).The FCX will become a reality very soon.I hope the govt provides tax sops for such energy saving methods, as i don’t find any of the companies making them in India. The civic by the way costs 120% more as it bought down from the Japan(i think) plant as completely built kits.

Let’s say this, such viable options are going to create less chances of war in the near future and the initiatives more so are from Japanese companies. As its written we don’t inherit the land from our forefathers, but we borrow it from our children..Peace!!

  1. Just saw your blog on a slow, lazy weekend morning on the East Coast and enjoyed a few posts. If you would like to exchange opinions about hybrid cars, the current state of the Aarushi murder case, social networking sites, how difficult it is to be single and Indian, more intelligent than the P3 PYT and still better than average looking, cricket, tennis, Hindi movies or anything else, you can email me….
