What are the drawbacks of hydrogen-powered superchargers?
2 Answers
Hydrogen-powered superchargers are completely unscientific and will consume fuel, potentially causing severe damage to vehicles. The extraction of hydrogen power requires electrolysis of water or the use of natural gas, which similarly consumes a large amount of energy. Unless nuclear power is used for extraction, it cannot fundamentally reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The following is an introduction to hydrogen-powered superchargers: Users can customize settings based on actual needs, improving output through precise adjustments to the air-fuel ratio and ignition timing, effectively reducing carbon deposits and exhaust emissions, and allowing the engine to work more efficiently. At the same time, the control unit also optimizes the original ECU signals of the vehicle, enhancing the overall response speed and increasing power by 20-30%, providing a strong sense of acceleration during both starting and driving.
I've been driving a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle for two years now, and the booster issues are really troublesome. The biggest headache is the scarcity of hydrogen refueling stations—last time I went on a long trip, I almost got stranded halfway. The hydrogen tanks take up most of the trunk space, leaving no room for camping gear. When starting up in minus ten degrees, the compressor sounds like a tractor, giving me a headache. The metal parts are also prone to hydrogen embrittlement and cracking—last month, I just spent 8,000 yuan replacing the booster valve. Not to mention the safety hazards—last time I smelled hydrogen in the parking lot, the fire trucks came, and now I always park far away from others. Repairs are a hassle too—only three shops in the entire city can fix it, and waiting for parts takes half a month.
