Remember the water-hydrogen car that can run with water? Another new energy vehicle

In recent years, due to the huge potential of the new energy vehicle market, it has attracted many car companies' research. In addition to the electric vehicle technology selected by most car companies, other niche new energy technologies have not been spared. For example, in 20 19, this young car was famous for its "water-hydrogen engine". At that time, the principle of "drinking water and running" made public opinion in an uproar.

After two years, the young car that has not appeared for a long time has once again returned to the public's field of vision. But this time it didn't bring any good news because one of its subsidiaries went bankrupt.

Enter bankruptcy liquidation procedure

According to reports, the temporary manager of Jinhua Youth Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jinhua Youth Automobile"), the main vehicle maker of Youth Automobile Group, issued the "Notes on the Declaration of Creditor's Rights in the Bankruptcy and Liquidation Case of Jinhua Youth Automobile", officially announcing the company's entry into bankruptcy and liquidation procedures.

I have to say that it is really no accident that young cars have come this far. There are many people entering the new energy vehicle market, but there are really few people who can talk nonsense like young cars.

In the "water-hydrogen engine" made by young cars, it has the advantage that "the water in the car can produce hydrogen in real time, and the car can run with only water". However, after this advantage was reported, it was questioned by the majority of netizens.

Data show that hydrogen fuel cell is a kind of power generation device that directly converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy. Its basic principle is the reverse reaction of electrolytic water. The "hydrogen" fuel used in fuel cells can come from hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water and any hydrocarbon (such as natural gas, methanol, ethanol (alcohol) and biogas). It is reported that the cost of hydrogen fuel cells is 100 times that of ordinary gasoline engines.

Theoretically speaking, "a car that can run with water" is not without scientific basis. But why is the youth car "water-hydrogen engine" so questioned? The problem lies in the steps of converting water into hydrogen and oxygen, and the answer given is that only catalysts are used. Anyone who has studied high school chemistry knows that catalysts can change reactants (increase or decrease) without changing the chemical balance, and substances whose quality and chemical reaction have not changed are called catalysts. So this does not give people a reasonable answer. Its whole report gives us the impression that "you can run with water."

Making a car is not an easy task.

In fact, the so-called "water-hydrogen engine" made by Youth Automobile Group has been questioned. In February this year, the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the administrative penalties for seven auto companies, among which Youth Auto was one.

Undoubtedly, new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles are not an either-or relationship, and the automobile industry is not just a technical direction of pure electric vehicles. There is a lot of room for technological innovation in internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, natural gas vehicles and other fields. Therefore, when you build a car, you may not let go of all kinds of technologies. However, building a car is not an easy task, nor is it a way to cheat or circle money. Only by careful study can we truly occupy a place in the future automobile road. The end of the "water-hydrogen car" scam has also made everyone more aware that there is no real thing that can easily make a car.
