China Has The World's First Hydrogen Train


There are some disadvantages using Hydrogen.

here are some disadvantages taking flights back then too.

Yes, but the disadvantages of using hydrogen remains, while commercial aircraft are now much safer.

A century passed, out scientiests have the answer and besides, someone has to do this for the whole humanity.

You assume that using hydrogen is best for trains.
Electrical Power with electricity generated from dams/wind/solar works for us.

let scientists find it out, still too early to make final assessment.

China became the third country in the world to successfully test an aircraft powered by a hydrogen fuel cell

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the ST Daily newspaper, the aircraft was developed by scientists from the northeast Liaoning province on the basis of RX1E two-seat electric aircraft. The test flight was held in Shenyang, with the plane reaching an altitude of 320 meters (some 1050 feet) above the ground.

The aircraft is equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell capable of producing 20 kilowatt of energy, necessary for the operation of the on-board systems, electric motor and battery charging.

So far, apart from China only the United States and Germany tested aircraft with a hydrogen fuel cell.

Even though this tech. is new and time will tell whether it would be safe and efficient enough to survive, but an immediate advantage comes to the mind. The miles after miles of extremely high voltage overhead lines required for electric trains (which, needless to say, has installation cost, requires lot of maintenance and has other risks) will not be required in this case I guess........
