Conversion of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle to Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle

AI Thread Summary
A group focused on developing a Hydrogen Economy is seeking freelance engineers to assist in converting internal combustion engine vehicles to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. They are open to discussing compensation that aligns with their research budget and emphasize the need for telecommuting positions. The conversation also invites ideas and comments on the Hydrogen Economy, highlighting the existing market for electric vehicle conversions and the potential costs associated with fuel cell integration. Additionally, a resource for fuel cell manufacturers is provided for further exploration. The initiative aims to advance the Hydrogen Highway project and expand the use of hydrogen fuel technology.

I’m from a group that is current working on the theory of a Hydrogen Economy. Our first area of development is the Hydrogen Highway. We are currently seeking help in the form of freelance / work for hire basically engineer(s) that could aid in design and calculations of internal combustion engine vehicles both commercial and domestic to hydrogen fuel cell conversion vehicles. We can discuss terms and compensation that fits within our research and development budget. Would like someone that could come aboard ASAP. And the position would by telecommute. If you have interest please reply to this posting. Also any ideas and comments about what we are undertaking, feelings about the Hydrogen Economy please feel free to post.

There are many companies offering electric vehicle conversions. Adding a fuel cell will be expensive, but there are commercially available systems.
I found a list of fuel cell manufacturers at http://www.usfcc.com/resources/outreachproducts.html

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
