The benefit of building a Nuke-powered destroyer or crusier.

Actually, US diesel fuel has lower sulfur content than European diesel fuel. As a matter of fact, US diesel fuel requirements has the strictest and lowest sulfur requirements. This causes diesel fuel in the US to be the most expensive in the world---costing more than gasoline---whereas in the rest of the world, diesel fuel tends to cost cheaper than the same volume of gasoline. Gasoline does not use sulfur content by the way.

JD, law of thermodynamics and physics means you will never gain a net energy profit from what you are saying.

If you have a cycle of

Hydrogen and oxygen separation from water (consumes energy)

Combustion of hydrogen and oxygen (produces energy)

and back again, the whole cycle will produce considerable net energy loss.

Read again the first law of Thermodynamics that state that Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. This is the law of energy conservation. If the cycle produces a net energy gain, that would be in violation of this law.

Here in Europe (at least in Finland) Diesel fuel is cheaper becouse it has lower taxes tagged to it (instead of taxing the fuel, the government taxes the use of diesel cars). Taxing of bensincars is made mainly by adding tax the prize of the fuel. Both diesel and Fuel have gone down from the peakprizes in summer and are now about 0.95€ for diesel litre and 1.15 for Benzin litre.

In several european countries where there is no seperate dieselcar tax, the taxation is made as with benzin and thus the diesel fuel is more expensive.

Maybe we should discover about future alternative energy sources for cars, diesel or hydrogen or otherwise, in the Cars Cars Cars thread at the General Pictures area.

Been wondering about the concept of a hybrid based on the Diesel-Electric with Biofuel options instead of just Gas-Electric.

JD, click on the link above and follow the thread to see a video of a hydrogen powered fuel cel car.

Thanks crobato. It was an interesting vid.

In 2006 the US mandated ultra low sulfur diesel. Previous low sulfur diesel had a maximum of 500 ppm sulfur. The current US standard as of July 1, 2006 for ultra-low sulfur diesel is 15 ppm.

The current European standard is 10 ppm. Some Scandanavian nations set the standard even lower. Biodiesel has zero sulfur.
