Fair enough, but that sounds like a niche requirement. Others won't be interested in anything that requires a visit to a station to fuel it, given the average user will be able to charge fully at home or work.

We have that now with IC vehicles of different size and purpose.  Some people buy little underpowered sch1t boxes that get good fuel consumption and others buy pick-ups tHat have a multitude of uses albeit at a higher cost for fuel. But that could be a hybrid with a good percentage of Hydrogen generated on board.  My pickup gets almost 700km from a 64 litre tank of diesel.  I'd be happy getting 1000+ by generating some Hydrogen from water as I go.

So if Thai speaking employees are needed how many Thais are jumping the border to go to the casinos?

So, if your standing on the Thai side and shouting "ua disan" vola a smiling Burmese in a boat appears!

The students need a bigger better location to show their anger.  But just to be on the safe side the university fire brigade had better be on duty that day.

The daft current schemes on offer to open the tourism industry won't encourage many people to come unless they are coming for at least 3 months. Not that many people can take that much time to go on holiday. Another article in today's Thaivisa shows that only 15% of regular Swedish tourists will take an overseas holiday in 2022. If that is typical of other countries then Thailand's economy will take a very big hit and many hotels and tourist related businesses will close down some forever. 

My son is of similar mind. 2022 will be the year for more tourists.  His reckoning is it will take most people well into 2021 to gET their finances in order...that's if things settle down.  I agree. But the numbers will be in the few millions.  To get back to 40 million a year may not happen till 2030.  Interesting times.  Maybe a World War would have been less of a bother!  ????

But you cannot run the vehicle on hydrogen generated on the vehicle. To do so would require at least one of the processes to be more than 100% efficient.

 

Hydrogen as a fuel is awkward stuff, it's difficult to store in any sensible quantity and has a nasty habit of blowing up in the event of a containment failure. I would not want to be anywhere near a re-fuelling station.

 

It's do able.  Back in the early 2000 I did a graduate diploma course at Swinburne Uni in Hawthorn, Victoria, Au.  Electrotechnology-Renewable Energy.  As a field trip we went to a company in Clayton, Victoria to see a working prototype of a hydrogen system.  We each had to sign a document  of "None disclosure".  On the day we got to see a lot of the companies historic achievements (not common knowledge as they were applying for patents) in the development of hydrogen fuel cells and storage containers.  At the end we all got invited to be taken for a drive in their company cars (Hydrogen powered) for a several km trip.  Just like driving in a normal Holden Commodore!  One of the cars was a benzine/hydrogen powered unit.  I don't know what happened to the company but they may have been bought out by another company....like Shell or BP or Caltex or Esso.  It's happen many times in history so I think it's plausible.

Hydrogen either in an IC engine or fuel cell is very clean (only water as the exhaust).

 

A simple question. Where does the hydrogen come from?

 

Hydrogen yes, fuel cells no.  On board hydrogen production using conversion kits are available now. Some are basic and benzine is still used in small quantities and some are able to start and run on hydrogen. Plenty of info about it on the net.  The big advantage is you convert an existing petrol/diesel powered vehicle that already has paid the environmental cost at yesterday price.  And what fuel is needed?  Clean water.  ????

Yes do that...but do it quietly, so we can make enquiries with the Red bull clan....  Wink, wink, nudge, nudge!

I had to Google it, too, to find where on Jomtien Sai 2 this park was: Google map

 

Good of you to add a link to Google....pity it doesn't work!

Despite the fact the problem is in Bangkok, almost 400km away, poo ya ban sent my wife home to get a facemask before attending his monthly gabfest.  Apparently we also need a mask whilst driving along in the pick-up! It's been weeks since I have seen anyone here wearing a mask..... ????

Doing something to make it look like their finding solutions.  Always helping out the people that control the strings of the puppet government and pretending they are helping out the wider business community...including the little guys.  Not so much interest in putting money in the hands of the real needy.  But,  let face it,  It's not that it's their fault for causing the country such misery it was the dirty farang that caused it.  

Interesting thread!  If someone does it once incarceration and therapy should be the punishment.  If Someone does it twice let him swing from the gallows.  Why?  Because that guy doesn't give a toss about incarceration or therapy if he is caught and will continue doing it. 

Tip of the Thaicberg?

I wouldn't say they are beautiful, average looking.

You sir are being generous with you interpretation of the word 'average'.

Desperation can manifest itself in many ways. Like as a kid I used to lay awake at night worrying that one day I would be old and I would die.  The thought of death brought on despair.  Lack of sleep affected my performance during the day.  I wonder if lack of sleep is the current problem at Thai? ????

Don't you lads worry about a thing.  The good people at Rothschild bank will be only to happy to help out.  And let's not forget those wonderful people the Morgan's and Rockefellers.
