It is not Electric that is the future but Hydrogen. I am very anti electric vehicle for a number of reasons. First it is a bait and switch where you will end up not affording to power your car. The second is batteries are very expensive and takes too long to charge on the go. Also they catch on fire and have to charge often if you like to go fast and places. Also the environmental impact with all that mining and the lack to recycle batteries is vast. Last issue infrastructure itself that cannot handle that load and have to rebuild charging stations everywhere. Unlike Hydrogen combustion engine that only emission is water we do need. It also can reuse the infrastructure already in place and can achieve the same MPG as today's cars with refueling in minutes opposed to an hour or more. It also can use many of the same parts as we have today without adding to our electrical grid problem. The following is from interestingengineering.com written by Can Emir:
"Toyota's hydrogen combustion engine has already made a name for itself in the Super Taikyu endurance race.
Zero carbon emissions will undoubtedly be a requirement in the years to come.
Toyota's strategy for achieving its carbon neutrality is to develop and provide a variety of technologies to reach net zero emissions by 2035. The company believes it is too early to concentrate on a single zero-emission solution; therefore, it is developing battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and hydrogen combustion technology.
The company aims to enable customers on their journeys to zero emissions in a world with significantly different customer needs and market situations, giving them a chance to reduce their carbon footprints. This is thanks to Toyota's multi-technology strategy, including battery electric, fuel cell electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and hybrid electric vehicles.
Hydrogen combustion Corolla Cross H2 concept
Technological advancements helped Toyota engineers design the Corolla Cross H2 Concept, a prototype road vehicle, the company announced in a press release.
Toyota created a Corolla Cross H2 hydrogen prototype that can carry five passengers and their luggage by fitting the 1.6l 3-cylinder turbo engine from the GR Corolla with high-pressure hydrogen direct injection engine technology from motorsport activity and adding the hydrogen tank packaging know-how from Mirai.
In addition to continued digital development, real-world evaluation is presently being done for the vehicle and will soon start winter testing in northern Japan.
The flexibility to utilize current internal combustion engine technologies, rapid refueling times, and a pronounced decrease in the use and requirement of materials with finite supplies like lithium and nickel are some of the main advantages of hydrogen combustion. Hydrogen combustion could result in broad, affordable carbon-reduction solutions more quickly by modifying current technologies and maximizing current investments.
Toyota is currently around 40 percent of the way toward commercializing goods like the Corolla Cross H2 Concept. Although it has not been feasible to predict if the technology will be ready for use in road cars, there is unquestionably a great opportunity in motorsports.
Toyota develops its hydrogen combustion through motorsports
Toyota has had success this year with its hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines. Toyota has entered a hydrogen combustion GR Corolla H2 in every Super Taikyu endurance race in Japan with the Rookie Racing Team. Under the master-driver alias "Morizo," Toyota President Akio Toyoda has participated in every race to assess the situation and make improvements.
A Toyota hydrogen-engine vehicle also made its maiden appearance outside of Japan when the GR Yaris H2 was tested during a demonstration run at the WRC in Ypres, Belgium.
This consistent and demanding motorsports activity has aided in accelerating technological development. For instance, Toyota has improved hydrogen combustion power and torque throughout one Super Taikyu season, attaining the ground-breaking achievement of dynamic performance on par with a traditional petrol engine. Additionally, the range has increased by about 30 percent, and refueling has been sped up from 5 to 1.5 minutes. In addition to hydrogen usage, Toyota is working with many stakeholders in the areas of green hydrogen production and transportation with the demanding environment of motorsports as a testbed, creating a wide range of collaborations beyond the boundaries of the industry to help realize a carbon-neutral society."
Again as noted in this article:
"The flexibility to utilize current internal combustion engine technologies, rapid refueling times, and a pronounced decrease in the use and requirement of materials with finite supplies like lithium and nickel are some of the main advantages of hydrogen combustion." Also noted the refuling time is down from 5 minutes to 1.5 minutes. That is faster than any Electric Car can ever achieve. This technology uses much of what we have today as well for parts also noted in the article. So why are we not pushing for hydrogen? What are your thoughts?

I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
