Electriq~Global presented this week at the Smart Mobility Summit as part of Acmotion 2018 in Tel Aviv an efficient, safe, clean and recyclable fuel for driving electric vehicles. Compared to existing fuels, the new fuel enables two times greater driving ranges at half the cost and all this without any pollution emissions
The Israeli-Australian start-up company Electriq~Global (formerly Terragenic) has developed safe, cheap and clean fuel. Electriq~Global's technology, 60% of which is based on water, extracts hydrogen from a water-based fuel, which is then used to generate electricity to drive the electric vehicle.
Electriq~Global's system includes three key components: the liquid fuel (Electriq~Fuel), which creates a reaction with a catalyst (Electriq~Switch) to release hydrogen on demand. In the next step, the fuel is "collected" and taken back to a recycling plant (Electriq~Recycling) where it is recharged with hydrogen and water for reuse. The whole process is inherently safe and allows vehicles to be operated with zero pollutant emissions.
The company claims that the water-based liquid fuel, developed at Electriq~Global's R&D center in Tirat-Carmel, is safe and stable and is maintained at environmental temperatures and pressures. Compared to other green solutions for energy storage, such as lithium-ion batteries or compressed hydrogen technologies, Electriq~Global enables twice as long travel distances at half the cost. The energy density is up to 15 times higher than electric batteries currently used in vehicles such as those of Tesla.
A comparison between electric buses showed that the buses powered by conventional electric batteries provided a driving range of 250 km and required up to 300 minutes of recharging, while buses powered by Electriq~Fuel would provide a driving distance of 1,000 kilometers and could be refueled within 5 minutes.
The CEO of Electriq~Global Guy Nebo Michrovsky said: "Our technology brings with it dramatic news of improving the travel range, shortening the refueling time and reducing its cost, thereby changing the rules of the game in many areas, including transportation and fuel storage."

I would love to know what case you are talking about.
The American patent law has for years prohibited the filing of a patent on a mechanism for gradual movement without presenting a working model.
There was a famous case that started with Newman's patent trial in 1979 and went to trial ten years later in district court. Newman lost…
In the USA there is a registered patent on Perpetum Mobila. The patent office initially refused to approve the patent. But the Supreme Court ruled that the patent does not need to work except that nothing similar was recorded and the patent office did not answer that the device should work.
Water is at an energy potential level among the lowest. Raising their potential is called electrolysis (separation into hydrogen and oxygen) they can also be used as a catalyst and therefore 60% of the facility is water, showing the (let's call it mildly) infeasibility if nothing more.
Using water as a catalyst requires a few percent. Therefore, let them present their work in order to prove that it is not a bluff.
They already did it 20 years ago
According to all data bus 1000 km have already done it
Here is the patent:

Really sounds a bit like Meridor's bulb...
But even if it is true then it is a solution to one of the many problems of a hydrogen car.
If I understood correctly, this is about storing and releasing hydrogen from molecules that are soluble in water. So even if it really is still such a high concentration of energy (which would be quite amazing because most of the weight of the "fuel" is water, which on the face of it is quite a waste) it still sounds like it is a rather complex system.
Apart from that it is interesting what materials are used. Hydrogen cars tend to use exotic and expensive materials.
It still seems to me that electric batteries will "beat" the hydrogen cars. If only because of their simplicity.
But time will tell
Like the horse that was not allowed to eat. It worked well for 7 days. There are many videos on the Internet about how to convert a car to drive on water. In practice, I don't know such a solution that really works.
But if it's true, I'd be happy to eat the hat and recommend them to Peres Israel (or Australia)
I did not understand how the hydrogen is produced? at what cost? And in short, increasing the range is great, the question is at what cost?
I agree with Joseph. Similar to Meridor's bulb, whoever remembers. A serious examination of an objective factor is required. If proven to be true - an incredible breakthrough, if not - a blow to the field of renewable energies in Israel, as a convenient field of action for fraudsters.
The Jewish mind surprises every time
All the best and great pride.
The state should invest more in higher education, our economy is based on the brain.
Leave cars for a moment. Start with small power plants in each neighborhood. in every city. Powerful power plants on the seashore. I hope that the next step will be to reduce the system so much that it will be a power source for a cell phone.
Do you know that one cell phone battery pollutes more than a year of driving a gasoline or diesel car?
Wow
I'm a bit skeptical. Sounds too good. If I'm wrong, I apologize.
Also, what is charged to the fuel tank: water or hydrogen. Safety during a car accident. Hydrogen is a bit flammable.
Volume: Hydrogen is a non-dense gas. How to compress a lot of hydrogen without a container. And what about the energy released: highly compressed water, and gaseous hydrogen. It's an explosive reaction, how do you criticize it.
If so, what is written is correct, it sounds like a good direction.
Stunning .
