Open Source Hydrogen Car
We are gathering collaborators for a Solar Hydrogen Electric Vehicle Challenge: Scope:
- Lightweight electric vehicle running on compressed hydrogen combustion - a hybrid with hydrogen Power Cube
- Involves development of open source hydrogen engine
- $100k award, 1 year from launch. 2 year project.
- Solar hydrogen production - stationary plant, phase 2. 2 year project
- Onboard solar hydrogen generation - phase 3. 2 year project.
- Proof of concept design - not an optimized design - initially
- Focus on Design for Manufacturing - ease of fabrication in commmunity-based microfactories that is more efficient than mass production and allows for circular, open source economies
Copy & R&D
- Show that hydrogen internal combustion (IC) cars exist
- Show the advantages of hydrogen IC cars over regular cars
- Show advantages of hydgrogen over batterries
- Address advantages of hydrogen over gasoline/oil economy - decentralized, solar production
- Address the disadvantages of hydrogen IC vs fuel cells
- Address zero pollution by onboard oxygen
- Address efficiency by distributed production - if you count full cycle stewardship, distributed hydrogen makes sense compared to oil wars
- Address safety of hydrogen vs gasoline
First Prototype - 3D Printed Hydrogen Car
- Open source IC engine with atmospheric oxygen
- Hydrogen storage container
- Safety system - oxygen detector
- Open source electric generator
- Open source electric motor
- 3D printed car - carbon fiber filament
- Collaborative project - all groups collaborate
- $15k budget for each team - find corporate sponsors, defined as future of mobility
- All components are open source - fabricated, machined, open source CNC screw machine, rubber printed, etc
- Project includes developing production tools for fabrication
- Designed for distributed production.
